effervescent tablet
Dissolving medicinal disc
An effervescent tablet dissolves in water with visible fizzing and bubbling, releasing carbon dioxide as it breaks down.
The effervescence helps the active ingredients disperse quickly: Drop the effervescent tablet in a glass of water and wait for the fizzing to stop.
Common for antacids, vitamin supplements, and pain relievers like Alka-Seltzer.
