Good product, with very good results, dissolved in water and goodbye discomfort. I recommend it 100%. It doesn't have a bad taste, the instructions are clear, the packaging is easy to open, and it's an affordable price.

Not really the type of person who likes to take medications, prefer more natural remedies. However, this product does what it says, if I’m ever dealing with a bad headache or back pain this usually helps. Love that come in separate packs that way I can easily carry some with me. They don’t really have a scent or taste to them maybe just a tiny bit bitter but that’s really it. Overall, they are affordable and they seem to get the job done.

I have relied on Alka Seltzer for over 40 years. It has reliably settled my stomach upsets.
Please bring back the original formula!

Please bring back the original formula! We want the one that has the antacid and the aspirin TOGETHER. And not the lemon-lime flavor... it's awful. It was not a good idea to separate the 2 products, because now I will have to take TWO products to accomplish what ONE product used to do. Why would you change the product that made your name great?? I will not buy any more alka seltzer unless the original formula comes back. so disappointed.
Works fast

New Extra Strength Alka-Seltzer is awful

The new extra strength Alka-Seltzer with the red stripe in the box is difficult to swallow, it is very distasteful. Please go back to the original flavor or please let me know where I can buy the original flavor, if it has not been discontinued.
I love it

I really like Alk Selrzer effervescent tablets. Every time I have indigestion, I just soak 2 tablets and drink them. My indigestion gradually disappears very quickly. My whole family likes this product.

"Alka-Seltzer Original Flavor" is just Effervescent Aspirin. Why did you discontinue "Alka-Seltzer Original" which was Antacid and Aspirin. Been using for decades and now I can't find it. Someone there really screwed up!

Lost me as a customer original was an antacid these say nothing about being an antacid. Original taste is not the same as oringinal formula. Lost me as a customer for life trying to pull these shady tactics.
Great

Works very well. Upset stomach quite often. Helps with minor aches and pains and the effervescence helps settle the tummy when I've eaten too much, alka seltzer will make i feel better in 5 minutes, even if just a little. I love this stuff. Especially if I have a stomach ache.
The effervescent tablet dissolves quickly, the taste is not the best I've tried, but it works.

convenient packaging, you can take it with you on a trip and carry it in your bag. The effervescent tablet dissolves quickly, the taste is not the best I've tried, but it works. I bought it inexpensively

The only reason I am giving a bad star review is because they don’t have the original for stomach relief like why change it for headaches, fever, etc... like if we don’t have enough painkillers out there

Love this product. Because of the aspirin it helps with headache and other aches. This is the only way I can consume aspirin without it bothering my stomach. Please never stop making Alka-Seltzer with aspirin.
