Rennie Deflatine Sugar Free Mint - 36 Tablets

Rennie Deflatine Sugar Free Mint 36 Tablets are chewable antacid and antiflatulent tablets designed for fast, effective relief from symptoms of trapped wind, bloating, pressure and fullness after eating as well as associated symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
