Cons and risks of effervescent tablets
The first harm, effervescent tablets can be harmful to patients with hypertension (hypertension) and are taking drugs to control hypertension.
Common effervescent tablets currently used are cold and flu remedies (vitamin and mineral supplements). There was an elderly man who had a cold who used paracetamol to treat effervescent tablets and vitamin C supplements as well as effervescent tablets, after which his blood pressure skyrocketed, requiring emergency hospitalization. Not only hypertension, but people with kidney failure should not use effervescent tablets.
The second disadvantage of effervescent tablets is that when dissolved in water, they form a solution with a deliciously attractive taste that many people abuse this drug to use as soft drinks and excessive use
