Rennie Peppermint - 72 Tablets

Rennie Peppermint 72 Tablets are fast-acting chewable antacid tablets formulated to provide rapid relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux and excess stomach acidity. Each tablet contains a combination of calcium carbonate and heavy magnesium carbonate, naturally-occurring antacids that work by neutralising excess gastric acid in the stomach and converting it into water and other harmless substances, helping to soothe discomfort at the source.

The refreshing peppermint flavour makes the chewable tablets easy and pleasant to take, whether at home or on-the-go. Rennie Peppermint Tablets are suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over and can be used day or night as needed.
