Buy ALKA-SELTZER products online in Canada
ALKA-SELTZER is an over-the-counter effervescent antacid and pain relief brand introduced in 1931 by Miles Laboratories, originally known as the Dr. Miles Medical Company, based in Elkhart, Indiana, United States. Developed by head chemist Maurice Treneer, ALKA-SELTZER was designed to address common ailments such as heartburn, indigestion, and minor aches and pains. ALKA-SELTZER's formulation includes aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) for pain relief, sodium bicarbonate as an antacid, and anhydrous citric acid, which reacts with sodium bicarbonate in water to produce the characteristic effervescence.
The name "ALKA-SELTZER" reflects its dual action: "Alka" for its alkaline antacid properties and "Seltzer" referring to its effervescent, fizzy nature when dissolved in water. Each original tablet contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid, which together neutralize stomach acid and provide rapid relief from symptoms like heartburn, upset stomach, headache, and hangovers. The effervescence results from the reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, producing carbon dioxide bubbles. ALKA-SELTZER is also notable for its innovative marketing campaigns, particularly the introduction of the animated mascot "Speedy" in the 1950s and the memorable jingle "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is," which became an iconic part of American advertising history. The brand also expanded its product line with variants for cold and flu relief and chewable tablets for convenience.
ALKA-SELTZER is recognized for its innovation in over-the-counter medicine, its cultural impact through advertising, and its continued role in providing fast, effective relief for common digestive and pain-related ailments. Today, ALKA-SELTZER continues to be a trusted name in over-the-counter remedies, offering a range of products designed to provide fast and effective relief from various digestive and pain-related discomforts.
