Rennie Dual Action Heartburn, Indigestion and Acid Reflux Treatment, Pack of 3

Product Information

Rennie Dual Action Chewable Tablets provide fast, powerful relief from heartburn, indigestion and acid reflux by working in two ways: 1. Antacids (calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate) get to work within two minutes, powerfully neutralising excess acid in the stomach. 2. Alginic acid soothes the burning pain in your chest, forming a protective barrier over the stomach to prevent acid escaping into the food pipe. Features Indigestion affects different people in different ways, from the bloated feeling of mild indigestion to more severe symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Prolonged use of high doses may possibly result in hypermagnesaemia or hypercalcaemia and alkalosis (GI symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, fatigue, confusion, polyuria, polydypsia, dehydration), particularly in patients with impaired renal function. Prolonged use of high doses of calcium carbonate with milk may lead to Burnett syndrome (milkalkali syndrome). You're more likely to suffer from indigestion if you have a busy, stressful lifestyle, if you smoke, you're overweight or if you don't exercise regularly. Indigestion can also strike on holiday when it's tempting to over-indulge in rich or spicy food and drink more alcohol than usual. Here are some of the common causes of indigestion, by avoiding these activities it is possible to reduce your chances of suffering from the symptoms of indigestion. Hypersensitivity reactions have very rarely been reported. Clinical symptoms may include rash, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema dyspnea and anaphylaxis.

Indigestion can strike at any time and there are many different causes, from rich food and fizzy drinks to stress and eating on the run. Some people get indigestion a couple of times a year but others suffer every day with symptoms ranging from mild discomfort that lasts just a few minutes to severe pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting, that goes on for several hours.
