1, how to eat effervescent tablets?

Effervescent tablets will react when put into water, producing many bubbles, just like soda water, but you can't drink it as soda water in a hurry.

Effervescent tablets produce bubbles because they contain effervescent disintegrants, usually a mixture of organic acids and bicarbonate. When effervescent tablets are put into water, the two substances react to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, which makes the tablets disintegrate rapidly. The disintegration time of effervescent tablets is generally 1 ~ 5 minutes, which has little local irritation to gastrointestinal tract, and is quick-acting and efficient.

Do not drink effervescent tablets until they are completely dissolved or bubbles disappear, otherwise the tablets may not be completely disintegrated and the drugs have not been completely released. At the same time, the non-disintegrated part may continue to disintegrate in the mouth, esophagus or stomach, producing a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, causing abdominal distension, abdominal pain, hiccups, bubbles flowing into the respiratory tract, and may also cause cough.

When using effervescent tablets, we should also pay attention to the fact that the water temperature should not be too high, about 40℃, especially vitamin C effervescent tablets, which may be ineffective if the water temperature is too high; Because effervescent tablets contain more sodium, long-term large-scale use may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so it is recommended to eat less salt during taking.
