How Alka-Seltzer Lemon Lime Provides Fast Heartburn Relief
Quick-Acting Antacid
Alka-Seltzer Lemon Lime is a fast-acting antacid designed to quickly neutralize excess stomach acid, offering relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. Unlike some antacids that come in tablet form, Alka-Seltzer utilizes an effervescent formula. This means the tablets dissolve rapidly in water, creating a fizzy solution that starts working in minutes. The fizzing action helps to break up stomach acid, providing a refreshing and fast-acting way to alleviate discomfort. The lemon-lime flavour adds to the pleasant experience, making it easier to consume when you're not feeling your best.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
Active Ingredients
Alka-Seltzer Lemon Lime's effectiveness comes from a combination of active ingredients. These ingredients work together to quickly neutralize stomach acid and alleviate discomfort.
- Sodium Bicarbonate: Commonly known as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate acts as an antacid, directly neutralizing excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This helps to raise the pH level, reducing the burning sensation associated with heartburn and acid indigestion.
- Citric Acid: Primarily contributes to the effervescent action of the tablets. When citric acid dissolves in water, it reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide, creating the characteristic fizz. This effervescence helps break up the tablets and aids in their rapid dissolution, leading to faster absorption and quicker relief.
- Aspirin: Offers pain relief for body aches.
How to Use Alka-Seltzer Lemon Lime
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children 12 years and older, the recommended dosage is to dissolve two tablets in a full glass of water (4 to 8 ounces). Allow the tablets to fully dissolve before drinking the solution. This ensures the active ingredients are properly dispersed for effective relief. The dose can be repeated every 4 hours as needed, or as directed by a doctor. Always drink a full glass of water to ensure proper hydration.
Important: Do not exceed the maximum daily dosage of 4 tablets in a 24-hour period. Exceeding the recommended dose does not improve effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
When to Use
Alka-Seltzer Lemon Lime is best taken at the first sign of symptoms. This proactive approach can help prevent symptoms from escalating, offering quicker relief. Take it after meals to neutralize the acid produced during digestion or before bed to prevent nighttime heartburn. Having it on hand makes it easy to manage discomfort when it occurs.
- After meals
- Before bed
