Alka-Seltzer is a medication for acid reflux/heartburn, but one of the active ingredients is “anhydrous citric acid.” I understand that this is what makes it fizzy, but I don’t understand how an acid could be one of the active ingredients in an antacid medication. Can anyone explain?

Isn’t it also to cause the acid /base reduction which makes gas to help you burp ?
