Rennie Pepermunt Antacid

originUnited Kingdom
manufacturedFrance

Rennie is a widely recognized brand of antacids used to treat heartburn and indigestion. The brand was originally created by John Rennie in the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. Over the decades, it has become a household name across Europe, particularly known for its peppermint-flavored chewable tablets.

Currently, the brand is owned by Bayer, the German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company. Bayer acquired the brand as part of its acquisition of Roche's over-the-counter business. While the brand has British roots and German ownership, the specific manufacturing for the European market, including the Dutch packaging shown, primarily takes place in France at dedicated pharmaceutical facilities. The product contains calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate to neutralize stomach acid quickly.
