Rennie® Antacid Spearmint lozenges, 36 ST

Rennie® Spearmint Antacid Lozenges can be taken to relieve symptoms of excess stomach acid (e.g. heartburn). They neutralise stomach acid and thus counteract stomach acidity.

Excess stomach acid can be caused by a stressful daily routine, as well as by eating food that is too heavy or too fatty, and by excessive consumption of alcohol, coffee and nicotine. Excess stomach acid can irritate the stomach lining and cause symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, a sour taste in the mouth and reflux (the rising of stomach acid up the oesophagus).

Rennie® Antacid Spearmint is sugar-free and therefore suitable for people with diabetes.
