Digestive Care > Andrews Digestive Care

The classic 'on the fly' stomach reliever.

Advantages: Quickly and effectively relieves stomach upsets. Gives you the most relieving and satisfying b
Disadvantages: Powder tends to clump up and go hard if it is stored for more than a few months.

...sleeping but one dose of Andrews will calm it down. Also, sometimes if I've had a really fatty meal close to bedtime, I'l wake up in the early hours, with a massive bloated stomach, on the verge of being sick. I really really hate being sick and I'l do anything to avoid it. After tossing and turning for ages, sweating and scared to be sick, I always eventually manage to hobble downstairs, barely holding it in, then make myself a dose of Andrews. ...
...and I feel on the verge of being sick, the dose takes a bit longer to work but it relieves the stress and allows me to relax in bed, burping away. It's a god send and if like me, you don't like to be sick and you can handle the taste without gagging, then you will love this product. The only problem I find with it is that if it is left in a cupboard for more than a few months, the powder starts to clump together in lumps and it becomes almost impossible ...

Review of Andrews Salts

Excellant short term relief

Advantages: Good fast relief
Disadvantages: Some Need slightly higher dose than 75mg.

...no relief so I tried Zantac 75mg (Ranitidine). After a couple of days I started to gain some relief so it definately had some effect. I decided though that it wasnt enough so I visted my doctor who put me on 150mg of Zantac. He stated that taking Zantac is better than taking a bottle of Gaviscon so I would definately recommend anyone to give it a try for anyone with symptoms of heartburn or indigestion. If the 75mg is not working for you, make an ...
...GP to get put on Zantac but it you have the odd episode of heartburn then give zantac a go as it will definately do the trick after a few doses and its available off the shelf. I got mine from tescos and it was reasonably priced and worked fast and provided long term relief. ...

Review of Zantac Relief

Amazing Blue Tablet!

Advantages: Very Effective
Disadvantages: None

...lot. I came along the Gaviscon make of tablets for this condition so I went ahead to give this ago. There are many different types and flavours but I went for the 'Gaviscon Cool'. They are a blue tablet which you put in your mouth and instead of sucking all you do is chew them. The taste is alright . It certainly works very quickly and effectively and I find within 30 minutes my symptoms are much better and had subsided. Each tablet contains ...
...are the active ingredients for this relux suppressant. When you take one of these tablets and chewing it the stomach will form a protective lining on the stomach so that it will prevent the acid getting further into the stomach and eases the discomfort from the food pipe. You can buy them in packets of 16 or 32 I prefer the smaller packet as that fits in my handbag very easily. ...

Review of Gaviscon Cool

The Ex Factor

Advantages: tastes of chocolate, they work
Disadvantages: could appeal to children, abuse

...you will find Ex-Lax. Ex-Lax Senna Chocolate Laxatives come in a little cardboard packet, which has a main blue colour to it. It does stand out quite well among the other packets, with 'Ex-Lax' written in blue block capitals across the middle. The thing that I think makes these most appealing is the little picture of chocolate on the front. These are 'chocolate laxatives', made to taste more appealing than horrid brown laxative tablets. If I am honest, ...
...Each of the twenty four ex-lax tablets contans 15mg of sennosides, which is around average for your usual laxatives you buy in stores. Sennosides come from Senna leaves, and is used often as a natural laxative. It sounds quite reliable, and indeed it does work! Inside the Ex-Lax packet there is a leaflet with all the safety precautions, such as not being able to take this under certain circumstances etc. It is worth reading this just in case - you ...

Review of Ex-Lax Chocolate Laxative

Glycerin Suppositories are fast. I mean really fast.

Advantages: Glycerin suppositories are very effective for constipation.
Disadvantages: There may or may not be some stomach cramping and/or anul leakage.

Glycerin Suppositories are very fast acting. However there is a pediatric size suppository as well. If you are not sure how your body will handle the adult size, you can always try the pediatric size or half of the adult size. The adult size is 2.1gm and the pediatric size is 1.2gm. Talk to a pharmacist before using glycerin suppositories. They can inform a person of the power these suppositories pack (or should I say unpack lol). It will help prepare ...
