ALKA-SELTZER EFFERVESCENT 20 TABS LEMON

Alka-Seltzer Lemon is a versatile effervescent tablet designed to tackle two common issues at once: pain and stomach upset. It combines Aspirin, which reduces inflammation and pain, with Sodium Bicarbonate and Citric Acid, which react in water to create an antacid solution. This effervescent format allows the medicine to enter your system quickly, making it a popular choice for "heavy head" feelings, hangovers, migraine, and general malaise accompanied by heartburn or an upset stomach.

Key Features

• Fast Dissolving: The effervescent formula ensures the active ingredients are already in solution for rapid absorption.

• Dual-Action: Treats physical pain while simultaneously neutralizing excess stomach acid.

• Refreshing Taste: Features a mild lemon flavor to make it easier to drink when you’re feeling unwell.

• Versatile Relief: Effective for migraines, period pain, toothache, and the "achiness" of cold and flu.

Key Ingredients (per tablet)

• Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) 324mg: For pain relief and anti-inflammation.

• Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate 1744mg: Acts as an antacid.

• Citric Acid 965mg: Reacts with the bicarbonate to create the fizz.

• Sodium Content: Contains 477mg of sodium per tablet; a significant consideration for those on salt-restricted diets.

How to Take

• Adults and Adolescents (16+ Years): Dissolve 2 tablets in a glass of water.

• Frequency: Can be repeated every 4 hours if necessary.

• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours.

• Administration: Always dissolve fully in water before drinking. It is best taken after a meal to protect the stomach.

Safety Warnings & Restrictions

• Pharmacy Only (P): Must be sold under pharmacist supervision. Orders are often limited to 2 packs.

• Age Restriction: Not for children under 16 years. Use of aspirin in children is linked to Reye’s Syndrome, a rare but serious condition.

• Stomach Ulcers: Do not use if you have ever had a stomach ulcer or other bleeding disorders.

• Allergies: Do not take if you are allergic to Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs.

• Pregnancy: Not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by a doctor.

• Asthma: Use with caution, as aspirin can trigger asthma attacks in some sensitive individuals.
