Rennie Orange - 24 Tablets

Rennie Orange 24 Tablets are chewable antacid tablets formulated to provide fast and effective relief from symptoms associated with excess stomach acid, including heartburn, acid indigestion, acid reflux and upset stomach. The active ingredient, calcium carbonate, works directly in the stomach to neutralise excess acid, turning it into water and other natural substances to ease discomfort. Rennie Orange offers a refreshing citrus twist for those who prefer an alternative to mint flavoured formulations.

The compact pack of 24 tablets is ideal for home or on-the-go relief, and the chewable format means no water is needed. Rennie is a trusted brand with decades of UK usage for over-the-counter digestive relief.
