Rennies can be taken to relieve indigestion and heartburn. The general recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years is 2 tablets to be chewed or sucked, preferably 1 hour after meals and before bedtime. For heartburn, an extra 2 tablets may be taken between these times, but you should not take more than 10 tablets in a day. Rennies should be used only in the short term, and if symptoms persist for more than 14 days, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted. Prolonged use is not advised. It is also important to take only one Rennie product at a time and avoid drinking alcohol as it can worsen symptoms.
In summary:
- Take 2 tablets after meals and before bed.
- Up to 10 tablets per day max.
- Extra 2 tablets may be taken for heartburn between meals.
- Use short term only (avoid use beyond 14 days).
- Consult a doctor if symptoms last longer than 2 weeks.
This guidance applies to adults and children aged 12 and above; Rennie is not recommended for children under 12 years.
