These Alka-Seltzer Tablets for Heartburn, Lemon Lime are an absolute must-have in my house. They’ve saved me (and my family) countless times from indigestion and heartburn. The only downside is how often they’re out of stock—which just proves how well they work. When I can get them, I always stock up. What I love about these is how consistent they are. The tablets always arrive in perfect condition—no crumbling, no broken pieces, and they’re sealed well, so they stay fresh. They’re solid but dissolve beautifully in water. Just drop two tablets into a glass of water, and they fizz instantly, dissolving completely without leaving any weird chalky residue at the bottom of the glass. The Lemon Lime flavor is light and refreshing—not overly medicinal or chemical-tasting like some antacids. It goes down easy, and I actually find the fizzing action soothing (kind of like a calming ritual when I’m dealing with heartburn). No gross smells either, which is a huge plus because some antacids have that overpowering scent. Within minutes of drinking it, the relief kicks in—that burning sensation fades, the bloating settles, and I can move on with my day (or sleep through the night). The active ingredient here is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid, which work together to neutralize stomach acid fast. This combination has been around forever because it works. If you struggle with heartburn or indigestion, this is something you want to keep on hand. But trust me, when you see it in stock, grab it—because once it’s gone, it’s tough to find again.

Reduces heartburn.

This helps me with heartburn at times. There are times when nothing is going to help and I cannot take any calcium heartburn medications. This product does help and the aspirin doesn't irritate my stomach that much. I have to limit aspirin to almost zero but there are times when I must have it. The aspirin in this product so far has not caused problems except an upset stomach a couple of times because I took it two days in a row. The flavor is nice and it does work when it can work for me. I say this because there are times when nothing will help my heartburn (two different conditions that require surgery, as well as my medications causes heartburn) so I suffer. I suffer so badly that the heartburn swells the tissues in my throat and chest and feels as if I've been beaten in those areas. It is very painful and can last for days to over a week. It is difficult to find something that actually stops the heartburn and due to one of my conditions, there are times when no matter what I use nothing will help and the doctor told me that too. I also take Apple Cider Vinegar/Water daily or herbal heartburn products also and although I do stand by them, there are times they can't help due to my conditions. I always keep Alka-Seltzer heartburn on hand and would recommend.

Original is the best. Over an ice cube and with a splash of oj.

Product does not contain the aspirin, but the lime flavor is a little strange. I like the original flavor, but without an aspirin.

Heartburn creeps up on me at night sometimes and this seems to be the most effective over the counter product I can find for calming that down (better than Tums, for me, anyway). It works pretty much immediately and has a reasonably pleasant taste (a little chalky, a little lemon-limey). For the price, it's a very worthwhile thing to keep stocked in your medicine cabinet. I've heard that Alka-Seltzer can also be a good hangover remedy. I don't know if that's true, but I imagine it would help with the acid reflux/sour stomach elements.

It works! Settles the tummy.bubble bubble fizz fizz still settles the tummy
