Three drugs are combined in Alka-Seltzer. By neutralizing the acid in your stomach, antacids like citric acid and sodium bicarbonate can help with indigestion and upset stomach. Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation-causing proteins in your body, thereby reducing pain and swelling.

✔️ Precaution & Warnings

Caution must be exercised when using this product, as it can have profound implications.

• Children and teenagers who have or are recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should avoid using it, as it may lead to Reye's syndrome, a rare but severe illness.
• If there are changes in behavior accompanied by nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to consult a doctor, as these could be early signs of Reye's syndrome.
• There is a risk of a severe allergic reaction to aspirin, including symptoms such as hives, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), or shock. Stomach bleeding is another potential concern, as the product contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
• The risk of stomach bleeding is higher for individuals who are 60 years old or older, have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, take blood thinners or steroid drugs, consume three or more alcoholic drinks daily, or exceed the recommended dosage or duration of use.
• Do not use this product if you are allergic to aspirin or any other pain reliever/fever reducer or have had an allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients. Consult a doctor before using if you are subject to the stomach bleeding warning, have a history of stomach problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, asthma, or are on a sodium-restricted diet.
• It is important to disclose any prescription drugs you are currently taking, as antacids may interact with certain medications, particularly those prescribed for diabetes, gout, or arthritis.
• Adhere to the recommended dosage and discontinue use if an allergic reaction occurs. Seek immediate medical assistance if any signs of stomach bleeding, such as fainting, vomiting blood, black stools, persistent stomach pain, or symptoms that worsen or last more than 10 days, are experienced.
• Other reasons to stop using the product include redness or swelling, ringing in the ears or loss of hearing, the emergence of new symptoms, or if pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Aspirin should especially be avoided during the last three months of pregnancy unless directed by a doctor, as it may cause complications for the unborn child or during delivery.
