What are the advantages of taking a heartburn medicine in solution, like Alka-Seltzer, over taking a medication in tablet form?

There are multiple advantages to using the effervescent Alka-Seltzer heartburn medication. Simply put, the medicine dissolves fast and is ready to work the instant you take it. Because the medicines in Alka-Seltzer Original are in solution prior to ingestion, they do not require time to dissolve in the stomach like similar active ingredients taken in tablet form.

If I am diabetic, can I use Alka-Seltzer?

Do not use any Alka-Seltzer formula which contains aspirin if you are taking a prescription drug for diabetes unless directed by a doctor. Depending on your treatment regiment, aspirin may increase the effects of your diabetic medication or cause a false reading on a blood glucose test.

Can I Use the Alka-Seltzer formulas beyond the expiration date?

We recommend that you discard any expired Alka-Seltzer product. It will not be harmful if ingested, but it may not be as effective in relieving your symptoms.

Can I dissolve Alka-Seltzer tablets in something other than water?

We do not recommend anything but water. While the tablets will dissolve in other liquids, the amount of fizz or time to full dissolution will change. Also, efficacy and safety have not been established when these products are dissolved in anything but water.

Sometimes there is a residue in the glass after I take Alka-Seltzer. Does it need to be consumed?

You do not have to drink the residue on the sides of the bottom of the glass. All the medicines are in the water.

What temperature of water should I use to dissolve Alka-Seltzer tablets

The best temperature is room temperature. Cold water will slow down dissolution and warm water can make it foam excessively.

What should I do if the tablets don't fizz?

This is a sign that the tablets may have started to break down. It is very likely that the foil packet has a slight imperfection or pin hole which has allowed moisture to come in contact with the tablets. This may also cause the tablets to discolor and crumble. Please be aware that the product will not be as effective.

How long can I use Alka-Seltzer?

Please read and follow label directions. In general, these products are not for use for more than 7 consecutive days

Can I use Alka-Seltzer products if I'm pregnant or nursing?

As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of a health professional before using any Alka-Seltzer® product.

Does Alka-Seltzer Contain PPA (phenylpropanolamine)?

No. None of the Alka-Seltzer effervescent formulas contain PPA (phenylpropanolamine).

How can I be sure that I am getting the best price for my Alka-Seltzer?

Pricing varies from store to store. As with any purchase, whether it be clothing, food, or Alka-Seltzer® products, it is recommended that you watch for sales, money-saving coupons, and do some comparison shopping for the best retail price in your area.


Did Alka-Seltzer ever come in a glass container?

Alka-Seltzer used to be in glass tubes, which were discontinued to reduce costs and eliminate breakage problems, in 1984.

What is the History of Speedy Alka-Seltzer?

Radio Actor, Dick Beals was the voice of Speedy Alka-Seltzer on our Alka-Seltzer commercials. Speedy Alka-Seltzer was originally known as Sparky, but the name was changed by a sales manager, Perry L. Shupert, to reflect that year's promotional theme, "Speedy Relief". The Speedy Alka-Seltzer character was created at the Wade Ad Agency in 1951. The original working model was 6 inches tall and sculpted by Duke Russell. It appeared in more than 200 commercials over a 10 year period from 1954-1964. In 1955 a vinyl Speedy Alka-Seltzer doll was created.
