Product Description
Rennie Peppermint 24 And 72 Tablets For Heartburn & Indigestion
Rennie Peppermint tablets are a fast acting antacid used to relieve heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux. Each chewable tablet contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, two naturally occurring antacids that neutralise excess stomach acid on contact, turning it into water and other natural substances rather than simply masking the discomfort.
Unlike treatments that take time to build up in the system, Rennie Peppermint works directly in the stomach as soon as it's chewed, which makes it a practical option for sudden heartburn after a meal or discomfort that strikes at night. The chewable, pocket sized tablets and refreshing peppermint flavour also make it easy to carry around and use discreetly, whether that's at a desk, in the car or when out for a meal.
Key Features:
- Fast acting antacid. Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate start neutralising stomach acid as soon as the tablet is chewed.
- Targets three common complaints. Suitable for heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux symptoms.
- Convenient chewable format. Small enough to carry in a pocket or bag for relief wherever symptoms strike.
- Refreshing peppermint taste. A more palatable option than some antacid liquids or powders.
- Suitable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Can be used if taken as instructed, though it's always worth checking with a doctor or pharmacist first.
How Rennie Peppermint Works
Rennie Peppermint relieves symptoms through a straightforward chemical reaction rather than reducing acid production over time.
The two active ingredients, calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, are alkaline compounds that react with the excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This neutralisation reaction converts the acid into water, carbon dioxide and calcium or magnesium salts, which lowers the acidity in the stomach and eases the burning or discomfort associated with heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux.
Because this reaction happens on contact, relief tends to be noticeable soon after chewing the tablet, which is why Rennie Peppermint is generally taken as needed rather than on a fixed schedule.

How to Use
- Chew or suck 2 tablets as required, ideally around 1 hour after meals and before bedtime, when heartburn is most likely to occur.
- If heartburn persists, an extra 2 tablets can be taken between these times.
- Do not take more than 10 tablets in a 24 hour period.
- Treatment should not continue for longer than 14 days without speaking to a doctor or pharmacist.
- Suitable for adults and children over 12 years old. Not recommended for children under 12.
- Can be used during pregnancy and while breastfeeding if taken as instructed, but always check with a doctor or pharmacist first, since medicines can affect an unborn baby.
