Rennie Antacidum Spearmint - Lozenges

RENNIE ANTACIDUM SPEARMINT lozenges can be taken to treat complaints of excess stomach acid (e.g. heartburn).

Application

What are Rennie Antacidum Spearmint sugar-free - lozenges and what are they used for?

Rennie Antacidum Spearmint sugar-free - lozenges can be taken to treat symptoms of excess stomach acid (e.g. heartburn). They neutralise the stomach acid and thus act against over-acidification of the stomach.

Excess stomach acid can be caused by a stressful everyday life, but also by too heavy and too fatty meals, by excessive consumption of alcohol, coffee and nicotine. The excess stomach acid can irritate the stomach lining and cause discomfort, such as heartburn, stomach pain, sour taste in the mouth and reflux (which is the rising of stomach acid through the oesophagus)
