...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 ...

Rennie tablets The Rennie brand is seemingly one of the most recognisible in it's category.

As I didn't know really what indigestion ...
...the name of but the Rennie tablets where cheaper so I thought it would be okay to go with them. The box is red and inside where 24 tablets. They were sealed in the metal sheet casing which many medicines can be found so they are able to keep fresh. When I fisrt popped one out the packet they seemed alot larger than I thought they would be and they are square in shape. The taste is lovely. I do like spearmint alot and expected them to taste worse ...

Review of Rennie Deflatine

Chewy not chalky!

Advantages: Get rid of pain!
Disadvantages: erm...

...ASDA when I came across rennie Soft Chews and had to try them. One pack was about 79p and a pack of 3 packs £2.69 There are about 8 'sweets' in a pack. You have to take a couple when you need them but no more than 10 a day. Normally 2 do the trick at least for a while anyway. On a diet? The contents are as follows... "Calcium carbonate 800mg (equivalent to 320mg calcium), and also contains sucrose ( 1.73g), glucose syrup (includes 146mg glucose ...
...brilliant blue (E133), quinoline yellow (E104), glucose, purified talc, glycerol." Quote from the packet. Children shouldn't really need to use these but it is not recommended that they do anyway. Adults should not over use them and are advised to consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Over use in one day can cause a laxative effect also. How do they taste? They are quite nice. Minty but not too minty and they do not really taste like a tablet ...

Expensive Relief From Indigestion!

Advantages: Effective, Fruit Flavoured
Disadvantages: Not Suitable For Children Under 12

...different brands, eventually settling for Bisodol as my preferred choice since I found these to be the most effective. Recently however I came across Bisodol Extra tablets in my local Pharmacy. They are available without prescription and I would normally not buy them from a Pharmacy, but I had popped into the Chemist for something else and whilst I was there I realised that I had run out of my regular Bisodol tablets. Bisodol Extra tablets are ...
...one shown here is for Bisodol Extra Strong Mints.) This packaging is completely different to that of my standard Bisodol tablets which come in a round, tubular packet, more reminiscent of a packet of sweets like Refreshers. These new Extra tablets are packaged in a much more medical looking way, and I guess that this is the way that they are being marketed. The differences between these new tablets and my regular Bisodol ones does not stop with ...
