Effervescent tablets give you a chance to relieve your ailment as soon as possible when you suffer from pain, indigestion or heartburn. This is because we take the effervescent tablet already dissolved, so we don't have to wait for the medicine to dissolve in the stomach.
Doeffervescent tablets work faster ? Yes. In order for the drug to start working, the active substance contained in it, i.e. the healing substance, must be activated. Effervescent tablets can be classified as preparations that quickly relieve ailments. This is because by drinking the solution prepared from them, you bypass the process of dissolving the tablet in the body, which takes about half an hour. The aqueous solution of the drug enters the intestines more quickly, from where it is transferred (absorbed) into the blood. As a result, when taking the medicine in this form, we are less likely to experience adverse reactions from the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting or diarrhea). Most preparations in the form of effervescent tablets contain the so-called buffer measures. These are the substances that dictate where the drug is to be activated. It can therefore start working in the stomach or just in the intestines. Thanks to this, for example, people suffering from peptic ulcer disease can take painkillers containing acetylsalicylic acid. All types of tablets are dissolved in a little (usually half a glass) amount of lukewarm water. This creates a carbonated drink that is easier to swallow.
