Pepfiz Orange Tablet is a digestive medicine. It is indicated for symptomatic relief from heartburn, flatulence (gas) and dyspepsia (indigestion). Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest, behind the breastbone. It happens when stomach acid flows back up your oesophagus. Flatulence or Gas is the movement of gas from the digestive system through the back passage. Indigestion is the inability to digest the complex form of food associated with a sour stomach, and gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.

Pepfiz Orange Tablet combines Fungal Diastase, Papain, and Simethicone. Fungal Diastase is a starch-degrading enzyme. It helps digest starch and carbohydrates from the diet into simple polysaccharides and sugar. Papain is an enzyme that digests protein and catalyses the breakdown of proteins by hydrolysis. It is sparingly soluble in water. On the other hand, Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that decreases the surface tension of gas bubbles, causing them to combine into larger bubbles in the stomach that can be passed more easily. It increases the rate at which gas exits the body. Thus, Pepfiz Orange Tablet relief from gas, heartburn, flatulence and indigestion.
