Effervescent tablets
Effervescent tablets are tablets which are designed to dissolve in water, and then release carbon dioxide.

Effervescent antacids may also contain aspirin, sodium carbonate, or tartaric acid. Those containing aspirin may cause further gastric irritation and ulceration due to aspirins effects on the mucous membrane of the stomach.Common brands include Alka-Seltzer, Gaviscon, and Eno.

Treatment
The appropriate treatment in contemporary western medicine is complete surgical excision of the abnormal growth with a small amount of normal surrounding breast tissue. Prognosis
Nipple adenomas are non-cancerous growths, which can recur if not completely surgically removed. There are reported cases of cancers arising within nipple adenomas, and following excision of nipple adenomas, but these are rare occurrences. Epidemiology
Nipple adenomas most commonly occur in 30- to 40-year-old women, but can also occur in men. They can also occur at any age, including in the elderly, in adolescence, and in infants. References
