Sonrisal is an antacid and analgesic medication, produced by the GlaxoSmithKline laboratory and can be found with natural or lemon flavors. This medicine contains sodium bicarbonate, acetylsalicylic acid, sodium carbonate and citric acid, which neutralize stomach acid and relieve pain.
Each pack of Sonrisal can contain from 5 to 30 envelopes of 2 effervescent tablets. The Sonrisal is not exactly the same as the Eno Fruit Salt, because the latter does not contain acetylsalicylic acid in its composition. Check out the Eno Fruit Salt leaflet here.
