Pharmacodynamics

Refers to the group of antacid preparations. Includes magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, providing rapid and long-term neutralization of excess amount of hydrochloric acid in the composition of gastric juice. Has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.
Achieving a therapeutic effect within three to five minutes is due to the rapid solubility of chewable tablets and a high calcium content.

After the interaction of Rennie with gastric juice, magnesium and calcium salts are formed. The degree of absorption of these salts depends on the dose used. The maximum degree of absorption is up to 20% of magnesium and up to 10% of calcium.
A small amount of absorbed calcium and magnesium ions are excreted by the kidneys. In the intestine of soluble derivatives of the preparation insoluble substances are formed, which are excreted with feces.

Interaction

Reducing the acidity of gastric juice due to the use of antacids leads to a decrease in the degree and rate of absorption of other drugs used simultaneously. Therefore, pharmaceutical preparations must be taken an hour and a half before or after taking Renny.
When combined, antacids reduce the absorption of fluoroquinolones, tetracycline-type antibiotics, levothyroxine, cardiac glycosides, phosphates, iron preparations, fluorides.
When used simultaneously with thiazide diuretics, it is recommended that the content of calcium ions in the blood be monitored regularly.
