A small amount of calcium and magnesium may be absorbed, but in healthy subjects is usually rapidly excreted by the kidney. No increased risks of congenital defects have been observed after the use of this product during pregnancy. Long term use of high doses can cause high blood levels of calcium and magnesium, especially in people with kidney conditions. Symptoms of this may include nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, constipation, diarrhoea, tiredness, muscular weakness, headache, kidney problems and impaired sense of taste.

Long term uses at high doses can result in undesirable effects such as hypercalcaemia, hypermagnesaemia and milk-alkali syndrome, especially in patients with renal insufficiency.

Rennie Spearmint - Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) - (emc)

Calcium and magnesium carbonates react with excess acid in the gastric medium to produce soluble chlorides. Changes in gastric acidity, such as that caused by the ingestion of antacids, can affect the rate and degree to which some concurrently administered medicines are absorbed. Drink plenty of water and consult your doctor or pharmacist. Symptoms of an overdose include nausea and vomiting, tiredness, constipation and muscular weakness. The stated dose should not be exceeded. If, after 14 days of treatment, symptoms persist or only partly disappear the patient should consult a doctor.Calcium carbonate has a rapid and powerful neutralising action. This effect is increased by the addition of magnesium carbonate which also has a strong neutralising action. The maximum recommended daily dose should not be exceeded and should not be taken for more than 2 weeks. If symptoms persist or only partly disappear after 2 weeks, medical advice should be sought. Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity. It has been shown that antacids which contain calcium or magnesium may form complexes with certain substances e.g. antibiotics (such as tetracyclines and quinolones), and cardiac glycosides (e.g. digoxin), bisphosphonates, dolutegravir, levothyroxine, and eltrombopag, resulting in decreased absorption. This should be borne in mind when concomitant administration is considered.
