What is Alka-Seltzer?
If you’re not already familiar with it, Alka-Seltzer is an effervescent antacid and pain reliever.
As well as Alka-Seltzer original tablets, you can also buy Alka-Seltzer Extra Strength, which contains a larger dose of aspirin. Or, if you have cold or flu symptoms, Alka-Seltzer Plus has the same ingredients as the original effervescent tablets, but with an added antihistamine and decongestant.
While Alka-Seltzer is the brand name most people are familiar with, there are other products on the market with very similar ingredients, including Medi-Seltzer and Neutralin.
