Astozyme Syrup is a digestive aid primarily used to treat the digestive disorder and proper digestion of starch or carbohydrate in the die into a simpler form of sugar/carbohydrate. It is also an appetite stimulant (increases hunger) that effectively treats acid indigestion (heartburn), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and eructation (burping). Astozyme Syrup can also be used to relieve other digestive disorders like pancreatic insufficiency (inability to produce pancreatic enzymes) and abdominal discomfort. Indigestion is the inability to digest the complex form of food associated with the sour stomach, gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.

Astozyme Syrup contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Diastase and Pepsin. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrate (polysaccharides, i.e. starch) into simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides, i.e. simple sugar). It promotes digestion in cases of chronic illness, stomach fullness, flatulence, and indigestion. On the other hand, Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps break down larger protein molecules into smaller units of protein (amino acids). Thus together, Astozyme Syrup aid digestive disorder and gastric problems. 

Take Astozyme Syrup in the dose and duration advised by your physician based on your medical condition. Astozyme Syrup is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like abdominal pain, feeling of sickness, skin rash, stomach upset, diarrhea, painful urination, heartburn, nausea and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention.

Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Astozyme Syrup with proper consultation and caution.

Astozyme Syrup helps in relieving digestive disorders like indigestion, heartburn, gas, and abdominal discomfort. It contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose) for easy digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller proteins (amino acids). Thus, Astozyme Syrup promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the intestine's essential nutrients.

Shake the syrup bottle well before use. Check the label for directions and take Astozyme Syrup after a meal or as advised by the physician with a measuring cup.

• Abdominal pain
• Feeling of sickness

If you a history of swelling/inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your physician know about it. Oral syrup of Astozyme Syrup is to be cautiously administered in diabetic patients since it may contain sucrose, instead, you can try sugar-free formulations. Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet can decrease the acid reflux symptoms. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. It is not known if Astozyme Syrup is excreted into the breast milk. So, pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Astozyme Syrup with proper consultation and caution. Alcohol consumption and smoking can make the stomach produce more acid, leading to heartburn, so avoid its usage during treatment. 

Drug-Drug Interaction: Astozyme Syrup may interact with anti-diabetic drugs (acarbose and miglitol).

Drug-Food Interaction: Alcohol consumption makes the stomach to produce more acid, which can further lead to heartburn.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Astozyme Syrup should be used cautiously if you have any liver or kidney diseases, diabetes, and swelling/inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis).

• ACARBOSE
• MIGLITOL

• Please take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi, miso, kombucha, buttermilk, natto, and cheese.
• Eat fibre-rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas, and bananas to aid digestion.
• Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Astozyme Syrup as it can make you dehydrated and increase acidity.
• Avoid eating too much, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations that can burden your stomach.
• Eating small meals at regular intervals so that the stomach does not have to work as hard or as long.
• Smoking can irritate the stomach lining, hence please avoid it.
• Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet, and use pillows. This helps digestive juices to flow into the intestines rather than to the oesophagus.

Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly since sucrose levels in the syrup may affect your glucose levels in diabetes. Instead, ask your physician to advise sugar-free formulations.

Dyspepsia (indigestion): Indigestion is the inability to digest the food associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Eructation: Also known as belching or burping. It releases gas from the upper digestive tract (oesophagus and stomach) through the mouth.

Pancreatic Insufficiency: It is a digestive disorder characterized by a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes to break down food in the intestine.
