Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: seltzer
Ask your pharmacist for the ingrediet list for specific drugs (antiacid/seltzer containing drugs).


Es un texto sobre el contenido de sal/sodio de los diferentes productos. El diccionario me sugiere soda, pero no estoy convenida de que sea lo correcto aquí (ni tampoco las bebidas tipo soda, claro). Sales?

Agradezo sus aportes.

disagree  Cesar BERROZPE: Yo creo que el uso de seltzer aquí no tiene nada que ver con la efervescencia, sino con el producto. Para efervescencia está "effervescence", que no se usa aquí.

agree  Cesar BERROZPE: Yo también diría antiácidos / bicarbonato

agree  Juan Jacob: Es bicarbonato de sodio + ácido acetilsalicílico (Aspirina de nombre comercial) + ácido cítrico + fosfato de calcio para ser exactos. Bicarbonato de sodio solo no me parece correcto.
