Although people often use the terms interchangeably, there is a difference between heartburn and indigestion.
Heartburn is an unpleasant condition that occurs when acid from the stomach leaks into the oesophagus and rises upwards to cause pain and discomfort in the chest.
Indigestion is a general term for pain or discomfort felt in the stomach and under the ribs. It is often triggered by eating or drinking things that make the stomach produce large amounts of acid e.g. spicy foods or alcohol.
Rennie Extra is different and contains both an antacid and alginate formulation, working in two ways to quickly soothe the burning pain in your chest by forming a protective raft over the contents of the stomach and by rapidly neutralising excess acid in the stomach.
Rennie ICE is available from all leading supermarket and pharmacy stores.
However, please be informed that the Codes of Practice governing the Pharmaceutical Industry prevent us from giving medical advice to individual patients.
