Alka-Seltzer powder is a medication classified as an antipyretic and analgesic. Its main ingredients include aspirin, paracetamol (acetaminophen), caffeine, and others. It is used to treat fever caused by the common cold or influenza, as well as to relieve pain such as headaches, joint pain, migraines, toothaches, muscle pain, nerve pain, and menstrual cramps. Note: This medication is contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with asthma, nasal polyps syndrome, allergies to aspirin or other antipyretic-analgesic drugs, and those with severe liver or kidney dysfunction.
Fever is a relatively common symptom, primarily resulting from the body's pyrogenic substances or dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center in the brain, leading to increased heat production. If heat dissipation does not increase correspondingly or decreases, body temperature may rise. Generally, if a patient has a fever, it is recommended to take Alka-Seltzer powder under medical supervision. As an antipyretic and analgesic, this drug effectively reduces fever and relieves pain, mainly by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the body. It is particularly effective in treating fever caused by the common cold.
Patients should keep warm, dress appropriately according to weather changes, avoid excessive fatigue, maintain regular sleep patterns with early bedtime and early rising, ensure about 8 hours of sleep per day, eat a light diet, and pay attention to balanced nutrition.
