Pharmacological action

Pharmaceutical group:

antacid agent.

Pharmaceutical action:

Rennie is a topical antacid.

It contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which provide fast and long-lasting neutralization of excess hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, thereby exerting a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.

The achievement of the therapeutic effect within 3-5 minutes is due to the good solubility of the tablets and the high calcium content.

Indications

Symptoms associated with increased acidity of gastric juice and reflux esophagitis (including those caused by errors in diet, medication, alcohol abuse, coffee, nicotine): heartburn; acid belching; periodic pain in the stomach; feeling full or heavy in the epigastric region; dyspepsia; dyspepsia of pregnant women.

Contraindications

hypersensitivity to the components of the drug; severe renal failure; hypercalcemia; hypophosphatemia; nephrocalcinosis; children under 12 years of age.

Side effects

If the recommended doses are observed, the drug is well tolerated, however, in very rare cases, allergic reactions are possible — rash, angioedema, anaphylactic reactions.

Interaction

Changes in the acidity of gastric juice during the use of antacids can lead to a decrease in the rate and degree of absorption of other drugs when taken simultaneously, so medications should be taken 1-2 hours before or after taking antacids.

Tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, cardiac glycosides, levothyroxine, iron preparations, fluorides, phosphates-when used simultaneously, antacids reduce the absorption of these drugs.

Thiazide diuretics — when taken concomitantly with antacids, the concentration of calcium in the blood serum should be regularly monitored. Anticholinergic drugs enhance and prolong the action, slowing down the emptying of the stomach.

How to take, course of use and dosage

Inside, chew or hold in the mouth until completely absorbed.

Adults and children over 12 years of age (unless otherwise recommended by the doctor) if symptoms occur — 1-2 tablets.

If necessary, you can repeat the drug after 2 hours.

The maximum daily dose is 11 tablets.
