Alka-Seltzer Original Reviews

"I have been taking Alka-Seltzer Original since my mid-teens, still do in my mid-seventies. They certainly work for me. There is another benefit. Our Siamese male cat can hear me opening the pack from anywhere in our house. He sits at my feet and waits for me to fold the foil wrapping. I fold it the narrow way and then bend it in my fingers. I flick the bent foil and send it in any direction. The cat dives off after it and brings it back to my feet to start the game all over again. We have hours of fun with him. If you have a cat, or possibly a Siamese cat, try it out. Our cat never gets bored of it. The only problem is that he often flicks it under a wardrobe or similar in our house, and then that’s it! We are in England, but it should work anywhere. Really good fun. I never throw away empty packs now."


For Indigestion "Took x 2 then 4-5 hours later my tongue and lip swollen as a result of further investigations Combined with Turmeric Curcumin supplementation several coffees and some dried fruit I had raised my Salicylate levels beyond my tolerance. Causing Anaphyalaxis and a visit to the Emergency room."


For Indigestion "I love Alka-Seltzer. It helps with my heartburn, my headaches, and my body pain. I have found no faster relief for heartburn, and the fact that it also helps with pain is a real boon!"
