Because it would be kind of dumb to take them for athlete's foot.

If you're asking how they work: indigestion tablets are generally composed of some basic compound, which helps neutralize stomach acid.

Some treatments for indigestion attempt to handle the underlying cause by reducing the production of excess stomach acid rather than simply neutralizing it after it's produced, or by doing that along with neutralizing the extant acid.
