Alka-Seltzer XS Effervescent Tablets include a stronger formulation than the original Alka-Seltzer. They dissolve in water to give a sparkling solution and contain five active substances: aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), paracetamol, citric acid, caffeine and sodium hydrogen carbonate. Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and are used to relieve pain and inflammation. Paracetamol helps treat mild to moderate pain and is also useful for reducing fever.Both citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate form antacids to settle the stomach and relieve the symptoms of heartburn & indigestion. Finally caffeine is included for that extra pick-me-up!
