AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE
About AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE
AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE is a digestive aid primarily used to treat digestive disorders. It is used to digest starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE effectively treats dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and abdominal distension (bloating and swelling in the stomach area). Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.
AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE contains Amylase, Papain, and Simethicone. Amylase is an enzyme that works by breaking down or digesting proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down protein) that is extracted from the raw fruit of the papaya plant. It helps improve digestion. Simethicone works by lowering the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.
Please take AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE in the dose and duration advised by your doctor based on your digestive disorder. AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like stomach cramps, diarrhoea, skin rash, itching, and nausea. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention.
If you have a history of inflammation/swelling of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your doctor know about it. The oral syrup is to be cautiously administered in diabetic patients since it may contain sucrose. You can also try opting for sugar-free formulations. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use AMYLASE+PAPAIN+SIMETHICONE with proper consultation and caution.
