Description

Alka-Seltzer Original Tablets are a trusted remedy for relieving indigestion, heartburn, and headaches. Each effervescent tablet contains aspirin and sodium bicarbonate, which work together to neutralise stomach acid and alleviate discomfort. The aspirin offers pain relief, while sodium bicarbonate helps to reduce excess stomach acid. These easy-to-use, effervescent tablets dissolve quickly in water, making them ideal for fast relief of stomach upsets and associated pain, including headaches. Alka-Seltzer is especially helpful after heavy meals or if you experience discomfort due to excess stomach acid.

  • Fast-acting relief: Eases indigestion, heartburn, and headaches quickly.
  • Effervescent tablets: Dissolve in water for easy and rapid absorption.
