Alka-Seltzer 2081.8mg 20 effervescent tablets

Alka-Seltzer 2081.8mg is indicated for heartburn, indigestion due to acidity and gastric discomfort associated with these situations.

Active substances: 2081.8 mg of sodium bicarbonate.

Bicarbonate is an alkalizing agent (antacid) administered in the form of bicarbonate-containing salts or bicarbonate-producing salts. Sodium bicarbonate and the excipient citric acid form sodium citrate in the presence of water. Sodium bicarbonate together with sodium citrate acts as a pH-dependent buffer system. By decreasing the hydrogen ion concentration, gastric acid is neutralized and the pH of the gastric fluid is increased.

Dosage and method of administration:

Dissolve two effervescent tablets in at least 100 ml of water. Adults and adolescents: 2 tablets every 4 hours as required or as prescribed by a doctor. A total of 8 tablets should not be taken in 24 hours. Adults aged 60 years and over: 2 tablets every 4 hours as required or as prescribed by a doctor. A total of 4 tablets should not be taken in 24 hours. Alka-Seltzer is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age due to a lack of data on safety and efficacy. Read the package leaflet carefully and if you have any questions or symptoms persist, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
