Indications & Clinical Uses

Alka-Seltzer Original is primarily used for the temporary relief of minor aches, pains, and heartburn. The combination of aspirin and sodium bicarbonate works to alleviate discomfort and neutralize stomach acid. Many people use Alka-Seltzer Original for what is commonly referred to as a 'hangover cure,' though it is not specifically marketed for this purpose.
