Rennie Dual Action Heartburn And Indigestion Tablets, 24 Chewable Tablets

WHAT Rennie Dual Action Heartburn And Indigestion Tablets ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR

Rennie Dual Action Heartburn And Indigestion Tablets provide powerful long-lasting relief from the painful symptoms of heartburn and acid indigestion.
Rennie Dual Action tablets work in two different ways:
1. Alginic acid forms a protective barrier in the stomach to stop acid from escaping upwards, soothing that burning pain in your chest
2. Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate provide rapid and long-lasting neutralization of excess acid in the stomach

Warnings and precautions:
As with other antacid products, taking these tablets can mask the symptoms of other, more serious, underlying medical conditions. If symptoms persist after fourteen days consult your doctor.
Patients aged 55 years or older with unexplained and persistent heartburn should contact their doctor before taking Rennie Dual Action Tablets.
Please consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Rennie Dual Action Tablets if you have any kidney problems, have been diagnosed with sarcoidosis (inflammation disease that affects multiple organs in the body), or suffer from severe or chronic gastro-intestinal symptoms or diseases.
Rennie is designed to help relieve pain and discomfort associated with excess stomach acid. Pain/discomfort associated with cardiac conditions may on occasion mimic indigestion; such pain will not respond to Rennie, therefore it is recommended that
medical advice be sought if the pain does not go away.
Other medicines and Rennie Dual Action Tablets:
• Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
• If taking antibiotics (tetracyclines, quinolones), cardiac glycosides (digoxin, digitoxin), levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone), bisphosphonates (used for the treatment of osteoporosis), dolutegravir (an anti-retroviral medicine used for the
treatment of HIV infection), eltrombopag (a medicine used to increase the number of platelets) or other prescribed medicines (e.g. fluorides, phosphate, iron containing products) speak to your doctor before taking Rennie Dual Action
Tablets because it can affect how these medicines work. To maximise the benefit of all medicines being used, take Rennie Dual Action Tablets 1 to 2 hours after taking any other medicines.
• If you are taking any thiazide diuretics (e.g. bendroflumethiazide), which are used to increase urine production, then you should tell your doctor before taking the product because he or she may want to monitor the calcium levels in your blood.
Taking Rennie Dual Action Tablets with food and drink

This product contains 14mg of sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in each tablet. This is equivalent to 0.7% of the recommended maximum daily dietary intake of 3/5
