Calcium carbonate has a rapid and powerful neutralising action. This effect is increased by the addition of magnesium carbonate which also has a strong neutralising action. 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. In vitro acid neutralisation studies (artificial stomach model) showed that Rennie increases stomach pH from pH 1.5-2 to pH 3 in 40 seconds and is able to reach pH 4 in 1 minute 13 seconds. The maximum level of pH achieved in the model was pH 5.24. Each tablet contains: Calcium Carbonate 680 mg and Heavy Magnesium Carbonate 80 mg, Each tablet also contains: Sucrose and Glucose (250 mg), (Please see leaflet for more information) Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity.

Caution should be exercised in patients with mild to moderate impairment of renal function (see section 4.3 – contraindication in severe renal insufficiency). If Rennie is used in such patients, plasma calcium, phosphate and magnesium levels should be regularly monitored. Long term use of high doses can cause high blood levels of calcium and magnesium, especially in people with kidney conditions. Symptoms of this may include nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, constipation, diarrhoea, tiredness, muscular weakness, headache, kidney problems and impaired sense of taste. Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
