Ehhh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm huge fan of alka-seltzer currently taking their heartburn relief tablets. I was excited when I received original tablets but it kind of disappointed me. I had a painful headache so decided to give it a try. I could barely finish the drink and it didn't help with pain at all. I had to take Advil to get rid of the pain. 3/10

So salty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is salty beyond belief. I and two other people tried it and none of us could tolerate it. However - if you are someone who can't take pills, this is a solution. Not a great one, but at least you can drink it.

Alka-Surprising

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited to try this when I actually needed it so waking up with a headache warranted the golden opportunity. I read the instructions and quickly popped the 2 tablets into a glass of water. From then, the water bubbled and fizzed as the tablets dissolved. I was a little worried about what it might taste like, but to my surprise I was greeted with a sparkling water like taste. I will say shortly after consuming, I started to feel the ache in my head dull. I definitely feel like this is a good alternative to taking pain reliever in pill form and will continue to use it in the future.

Ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get headaches and migraines constantly and this did nothing for me. I've only had luck with another brands' combination migraine relief pills. Those have aspirin in them but by itself just doesn't do it for me. It might work better for someone who gets the occasional headache or who needs pain relief. As far as the tablets themselves, they dissolved quickly and the water tasted like tonic water. Not great but not bad. This would be a good product for someone who has trouble swallowing pills.

Easy Dissolvable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alka-seltzer was effective when I used it for a headache. I felt some of the pain was relieved after taking it and waiting about an hour. I was satisfied with the dissolveable tabs but I would not buy this again. There are so many tabs in the box it could last you for about 3 months.

Quick pain relief

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very sensitive stomach and don't tolerate ibuprofen in pill form well. This is a great alternative, providing quick pain relief without causing stomach discomfort. Within an hour my joint pain was reduced!

Good and bad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me first say that I have never tried Alka-Seltzer before, so this was all new to me. Easy to use, take the tablets, drop them in a cup of water and wait for it to dissolve. Had a nice fizzy look, but drinking it is a whole other thing! It literally feels like I drink drinking fizzy spit. I didn't like it at all, and had to force myself to get past the weird texture. But I can say it did do its job! I was pleasantly surprised how fast it worked, and I started to feel better in no time. I am torn, I hate how it feels to drink it, but it did a great job. I'd say if you are a big texture person, do not try it. But if not, this is a wonderful alternative to taking pills.
