Heartburn is an unpleasant condition that occurs when acid from the stomach rises up into the oesophagus and the throat where it causes a burning pain. This action is called acid reflux.The pain of heartburn can last for several hours or more and is often made worse by eating. Many people suffer sleepless nights as a result of heartburn because lying down can trigger the condition and increase the pain. If you are taking any of the following medicines speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Rennie Peppermint because it can affect how these medicines work. Calcium carbonate is excreted in human milk, but at therapeutic doses of the product no effects on the breastfed newborns/infants are anticipated. Rennie should not be used in patients with hypercalciuria (see also section 4.3). Prolonged use increases the risk of formation of renal calculi. Thiazide diuretics reduce the urinary excretion of calcium. Due to an increased risk of hypercalcaemia, serum calcium should be regularly monitored during concomitant use of thiazide diuretics.Indigestion affects different people in different ways, from the bloated feeling of mild indigestion to more severe symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Calcium salts reduce the absorption of fluorides and iron-containing products, and calcium salts and magnesium salts can hinder the absorption of phosphates. Virtually everyone suffers from trapped wind at some point in their lives but many people are too embarrassed to admit it, mainly because the symptoms include bloating, gurgling noises and flatulence. The most common symptoms of trapped wind are:

Especially in patients with impaired renal function, prolonged use of high doses can result in hypermagnesaemia or hypercalcaemia and alkalosis which may give rise to gastric symptoms and muscular weakness (see below).

Trapped wind in your abdomen can be caused by excess swallowed air moving from the stomach into the intestines where it can make you feel bloated until the air is released as flatulence. If you wear clothes that fit tightly around your waist this will increase the pressure on your abdomen and make you even more uncomfortable. Another cause of abdominal bloating is gas produced by bacteria in your colon as they break down the residue from the small intestine. Most of this gas is absorbed into your blood stream, the rest is released as flatulence. It has been shown that antacids which contain calcium may form complexes with certain substances e.g. antibiotics (such as tetracyclines and quinolones) and cardiac glycosides (e.g. digoxin), biphosphonates, dolutegravir, levothyroxine, and eltrombopag, resulting in decreased absorption. This should be borne in mind when concomitant administration is considered. No increased risks of congenital defects have been observed after the use of this product during pregnancy. Affecting 25-30% of UK adults, heartburn is becoming more common, possibly as a result of increased stress, unhealthy diets and over-eating. Heartburn is particularly common during pregnancy with more than 72% of pregnant women suffering during their last trimester. Although people often use the terms interchangeably, there is a difference between heartburn and indigestion.

If Rennie is used in such patients, plasma calcium, phosphate and magnesium levels should be regularly monitored.
