Alkafizz is used primarily as a gastric antacid and a urinary alkalinizing agent, providing quick relief from acidity, heartburn, and gastric discomfort. It is also administered to help maintain a balanced pH in the stomach and urinary tract[4][5][6][7].

- Relief of acidity and heartburn: Alkafizz neutralizes excess stomach acid, reducing symptoms of gastric discomfort.
- Gastric antacid: It acts to buffer and lower excessive acidity in the stomach.
- Urinary alkalinizer: By increasing the pH of urine, Alkafizz may help manage certain urinary tract conditions where a less acidic urine is beneficial.
- Convenient and pleasant taste: The product is typically available in flavors such as mixed berry and lemon, enhancing compliance and user comfort[4][5][6].
The ingredients commonly included in Alkafizz are:
