Alka-Seltzer

Alka-Seltzer is an over-the-counter medication used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and upset stomach. It contains ingredients like aspirin, which reduces pain, and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), which neutralizes stomach acid. When dissolved in water, it creates a bubbly solution that works quickly to soothe discomfort by balancing stomach acidity and alleviating associated pain. It’s important to follow dosage instructions and be aware that its aspirin content may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with allergies or certain health conditions.
