1. What is Rennie Antacidum and what is it used for
Rennie Antacidum is a medicine that neutralizes excess stomach acid.
Rennie Antacidum is used for the symptomatic treatment of disorders associated with excessive acidity
of stomach juice, such as:
- heartburn,
- indigestion,
- bloating,
- nausea,
- feeling of fullness or heaviness in the upper abdomen,
- belching.
2. Important information before taking Rennie Antacidum
When not to take Rennie Antacidum:
- If the patient is allergic to the active substances or any of the other ingredients of the medicine (listed in section 6).
- If the patient has elevated calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia).
- If the patient has kidney stones with calcium.
- If the patient has severe kidney failure.
- If the patient has low levels of inorganic phosphates in the blood (hypophosphatemia).
Warnings and precautions
Before starting to take Rennie Antacidum, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
When taking Rennie Antacidum, the patient should be particularly cautious if:
- they have kidney failure; they should then regularly check their calcium, phosphate, and magnesium levels in the blood,
- they have excessive excretion of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria),
- they take the medicine for a long time and in high doses; this may cause (especially in people with kidney failure) an increase in magnesium and calcium levels in the blood and milk-alkali syndrome (a condition caused by excessive intake of calcium compounds orally). This, in turn, may cause nausea, vomiting, excessive urine production, increased thirst, dehydration, fatigue, and disturbances of orientation and thinking (so-called confusion); increased risk of kidney stone formation; muscle weakness.
