It is actually water
Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and citric acid. When placed in water, the tablet dissolves. The citric acid reacts with the baking soda, and gives off carbon dioxide, which makes bubbles in the water. If you have heartburn, that is caused by too much stomach acid. The baking soda in an Alka-Seltzer counteracts the stomach acid.
Alka seltzer is so effervescent I can't drink it - but I love soda.
If you look at the ingredients for Alka-Seltzer, you will find that it contains citric acid and sodium bicarbonate(baking soda). When you drop the tablet in water, the acid and the baking soda react -- this produces the fizz.
