Reaction Steps

The ˜2 gram dose form soluble aspirin composition of EXAMPLE 1 dissolves in water in less than 30 seconds to constitute a ready to drink dose, when added to 2 ounces of cold water. Upon combination of the dry solids composition with water, a chemical reaction takes place that reacts the aspirin, potassium bicarbonate and citric acid, to yield potassium acetylsalicylate. The potassium acetylsalicylate immediately dissolves in water, leaving no undissolved residue.
