Taking Rennie with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicine.

Before taking Rennie, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they may affect the efficacy of these medicines:

  • calcitonin,
  • sodium phosphate and other phosphates,
  • oral contraceptives,
  • thiazide diuretics (medicines used to increase urine excretion rate),
  • fluorides (medicines for the prevention of tooth decay),
  • amphetamines or quinidine,

  • levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone),
  • eltrombopag (a medicine used to increase platelet count),

It is recommended to space the administration of antacids and other medicines by 1 or 2 hours.

Interference with laboratory tests

If you are going to undergo any laboratory tests (including blood tests, urine tests, skin tests using allergens, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine, as it may alter the results.

Taking Rennie with food and drinks

Like all antacids that contain calcium, it should not be taken with large amounts of milk or dairy products, as it may cause increased calcium or magnesium levels in the blood and milk-alkali syndrome.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take more than the recommended amount of medicine (see section 3, How to take Rennie) and should not take large amounts of dairy products and milk at the same time (1 liter of milk contains 1.2 grams of elemental calcium), as this medicine provides a significant amount of calcium in addition to their daily intake.
