When Does Alka Seltzer Expire?

Can I Use the Alka-Seltzer formulas beyond the expiration date? We recommend that you discard any expired Alka-Seltzer product. It won't be harmful if ingested, but it may not be as effective in relieving your symptoms.

How long does it take Alka-Seltzer to expire?

Properly stored, unopened seltzer will generally stay at best quality for about 9 months after the date on the package when stored in the fridge, although it will usually remain safe to drink after that. Ask a doctor before use if you are on a sodium-restricted diet.

Is it safe to take expired antacid?

For something like insulin, most vials expire 28 days after their first use. However, pills such as acetaminophen, aspirin, antihistamines, or antacids are typically good up to their expiration date regardless of when you open them.
