How to take it

Adults and children aged 12 years and over: chew or suck 2 tablets as required, preferably 1 hour after meals and before bedtime. If needed for heartburn, an additional 2 tablets may be taken between these times. Do not take more than 10 tablets in 24 hours. Do not use continuously for more than 14 days without speaking to your doctor. Not recommended for children under 12 years.

Warnings

Not suitable for children under 12 years. Contains sucrose and glucose - people with diabetes should take this into account. Do not take if you have severe kidney disease, kidney stones, or a history of high blood calcium. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist before use. Avoid taking with large quantities of milk or dairy products. Leave a 1-2 hour gap between taking Rennie and medicines such as tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, iron supplements, bisphosphonates, or thyroid hormone replacement, as it can reduce their absorption. Always read the label/leaflet before use. If symptoms persist for more than 14 days, or are severe, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.

How quickly does Rennie Peppermint work?
Rennie tablets get to work quickly because they act directly on excess stomach acid, so most people feel relief within a few minutes of chewing or sucking a tablet.
Can I take Rennie Peppermint while pregnant?
Rennie Peppermint can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when taken as directed, but it's always sensible to check with your doctor, midwife or pharmacist first, as they can advise based on your individual circumstances.
How many Rennie tablets can I take in a day?
The maximum recommended dose is 10 tablets in a 24-hour period, spaced out as needed - for example, 2 tablets after meals and before bed. Do not exceed this amount.
Does Rennie Peppermint contain sugar?
Yes, each tablet contains sucrose and glucose, which give the tablets their chewable texture and flavour. People managing diabetes should factor this into their overall sugar intake.
Can children take Rennie Peppermint?
Rennie Peppermint is only suitable for children aged 12 and over. It is not recommended for younger children.
