Andrews Liver Salts 150g: Triple Action Relief for Your Stomach
Andrews Liver Salts is a household name in Nigeria for fast-acting relief from common digestive discomforts. This effervescent powder provides a "Triple Action" formula that works as an antacid, a mild laxative, and a solution for stomach bloating.
Whether you are struggling with a heavy feeling after a big meal, burning heartburn, or occasional constipation, Andrews works quickly to restore your comfort.
How Andrews Liver Salt Works
When you dissolve the powder in water, it creates a refreshing, fizzing solution. The active ingredients — Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Citric Acid, and Magnesium Sulphate — work together to:
- Neutralize Acid: It stops the burning sensation of heartburn and indigestion by neutralizing excess stomach acid.
- Relieve Bloating: It helps clear trapped gas and settled "heavy" stomach feelings.
- Gentle Laxative: At higher doses, it acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the bowels to provide gentle relief from constipation.
Is Andrews Liver Salts still available in Nigeria?
Yes. While Andrews Liver Salts was discontinued in some European markets in late 2023, it remains fully available and actively produced for the Nigerian market. Haleon (the manufacturer) has a partnership with Fidson Healthcare Plc to ensure that this trusted remedy continues to be accessible across Nigeria.
