Alka-Seltzer tablets are effervescent tablets that contain aspirin, anhydrous citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate to provide fast relief from pain and heartburn. They dissolve quickly in water and are used to treat a variety of symptoms.
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: The original formula contains 325 mg of aspirin (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID), 1000 mg of anhydrous citric acid, and about 1916-1976 mg of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which are both antacids. The sodium bicarbonate and citric acid react in water to create the fizzing action that helps the medicine dissolve and work quickly.

- Headache, backache, muscle pain, and body aches.
- Heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach.
- Upset stomach, particularly after overindulgence in food or drink.
