My cat ate Rennie indigestion tablets. Should I take him to the vet?

Question

Hi my cat ate 2 of my Rennie indigestion tablets. It says on the box that its 680mg/80 mg Calcium carbonate and Magnesium carbonate sparemint tablets. It also contains sucrose 250 mg, glucose 250mg, flavouring, providone, saccharin sodium and magnesium stearate. ( that's i think for each tablet, he ate 2.) He is about 8 lbs. He ate it about an hr ago now and he seems fine. Just wandering if i should worry or get him to the vet? Thank u. Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 7 months old | 10 lbs

Other than vomiting and/or diarrhea I wouldn't expect any real problems in most cases. Since he ingested it about an hour or so ago, chances are the medication is already absorbed so there is no use in inducing vomiting. I would say just monitor him for now and if you notice any abnormal behavior or illness then you should then get him to a vet ASAP. I don't think this is a huge issue but you never know how an individual will react to any medication.
