What’s halacha on taking medicine like Alka-Seltzer or Tums on Yom Kippur?

I have some sorta GID that results in pretty bad acid reflux, at times bad enough with the nausea that I come close to throwing up. It often gets worse when I don’t eat. I know that medicine can be taken if it’s necessary but how necessary is necessary? Would eating an Alka Seltzer or Tums count as breaking the fast?
