Using Rennie's Tablets in Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the most long-awaited and happythe moment in the life of almost every woman. However, very often it is accompanied by heartburn, which, in most cases, immediately disappears after delivery. The main causes of its occurrence are hormonal changes in the body and increased intra-abdominal pressure during pregnancy.

In the body of a pregnant woman,hormone progesterone, responsible for maintaining pregnancy. This hormone relaxes the smooth muscles, including the esophageal sphincter (the muscle that is responsible for the acid from the stomach not getting into the esophagus), which leads to the transfer of hydrochloric acid from the stomach into the esophagus and, thereby, causes a feeling of heartburn.

The same happens with increasing intra-abdominal pressure, created by a growing uterus, that is, gastric juice is thrown into the esophagus.

To combat heartburn created drugs (antacids), which not only relieve the problem, but also contribute to suppress the formation of hydrochloric acid.

The drug, the active components of which are calcium and magnesium carbonate, quickly has a therapeutic effect, ensuring a long-term neutralization of hydrochloric acid. When Rennie interacts with gastric juice, water-soluble calcium and magnesium salts are formed, so that after 5 minutes relief comes.
