Dear Moderators. Please don't misinterpret this post as a shilling ad for this product. This is just informative chat.

The famous Alma Seltzer jingle was written by Tom Dawes, a former member of the rock group The Cyrkle.

My dad had it every night at bedtime. Now I take a Nexium capsule every night🙄.

I didn’t read this article, just the comments!

For some reason, I cannot find the article, but Alka-Seltzer was on the covid list of things that help if you get covid so I have some in the cabinet...

True. Good product, useful, and nearly forgotten.

[Covenantor]

From the label:

Each tablet of Alka-seltzer contains:
325 mg aspirin, NSAID

1916 mg sodium bicarbonate, antacid

1000 mg Anhydrous citric acid,

Dissolve two tablets in at least 4 oz water.

Take away the aspirin and just take the sodium bicarbonate aka baking soda for upset stomach/gas....way cheaper than Alka-Seltzer. If Aspirin is needed, buy generic at ridiculous low prices.

Savings might buy a half tank of gasoline...;>)

Ballsy pallsy.......

Swear by them. The OTC med I miss the most is Contact. Best antihistamine ever. Nyquil in capsule form.

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.

Always on hand at our house.

The 1950 moviee All About Eve has a scene where a party guest asks Bette Davis if she has any "bicarbonate of soda" for an upset stomach.

I keep a small box of in my cabinet for times when I have a case of heartburn before bedtime from a spicy dinner earlier in the evening. Sodium bicarbonate is a pH base, and neutralizes stomach acids that may be running wild after a meal.
