This might be a double definition.

'formic solution' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'indigestion?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antacid that I've seen before include "calming agent" , "Medicine counteracting gastric juices" , "Indigestion remedy" , "heartburn remedy" , "Indigestion cure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
