Bayer Rennie Mint is indicated for adults (ages 15 and older) to treat heartburn and acid reflux. It is available at a low price in a box of 48 chewable tablets at our online pharmacy.
For warnings, precautions, and contraindications, please refer to the package insert.
This medication contains locally acting antacids. They work by neutralizing the acids secreted by the stomach. It is used to treat heartburn and acid reflux.
The main causes of heartburn are increased stomach acid production and acid reflux into the esophagus. Specifically, four groups of patients can be identified:
It is important to note that obese patients and smokers have an increased risk of experiencing heartburn.
This class of antacids neutralizes stomach acid.
FOR ADULTS ONLY (ages 15 and older).
The usual dosage per 24 hours is:
Treatment should not exceed 10 days.
Rennie sugar-free lozenges are taken without water; suck on them at the first signs of heartburn. Suck on 1 or 2 lozenges; repeat as needed. For rapid relief, chew the first lozenge. Do not exceed a maximum dose of 8 lozenges per day, and do not continue this dose for more than a few days.
What lifestyle tips can help prevent heartburn?
Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large amounts of food at once.
Avoid fatty, fried, and spicy foods that can irritate the stomach.
Do not eat right before bedtime, and wait at least 2 hours after a meal before going to bed.
Avoid drinking large amounts of coffee, tea, or carbonated beverages, which can cause acid reflux.
Avoid smoking or using tobacco products, which can irritate the stomach and worsen heartburn symptoms.
Maintain a healthy weight to avoid putting pressure on the stomach.
Avoid wearing tight clothing around the waist that can put pressure on the stomach.
Use pillows to elevate the head of the bed to help prevent acid reflux at night.
See a doctor if you have frequent heartburn symptoms that aren’t relieved by lifestyle changes or over-the-counter medications.

Precautions for Use
Box of 48 sugar-free lozenges
This medication may be available over the counter at some pharmacies; however, do not hesitate to ask your pharmacist for advice. A balanced diet, chewing slowly, and avoiding hard-to-digest foods and alcoholic beverages can often help alleviate symptoms caused by acid reflux or stomach inflammation. If you smoke, continuing to smoke significantly hinders treatment: nicotine increases stomach acidity and reduces the effectiveness of the muscle that closes the junction between the esophagus and the stomach. For more details, see our advice section: Gastroesophageal Reflux.
Please note: Medications are not like other products. Read the medication guide carefully before ordering. Keep medications out of the reach of children. If heartburn symptoms persist, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Be aware of potential interactions with your current medications.
