Fitzyme Syrup 200 ml

Fitzyme Syrup is a digestive aid primarily used to treat digestive disorders. It is also an appetite stimulant (increases hunger) that effectively treats acid indigestion (heartburn), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and eructation (burping). Fitzyme 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 a sour stomach, gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.

Fitzyme Syrup contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Fungal diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates (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, Fitzyme Syrup treats digestive disorders and gastric problems. 

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

Let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines, herbal or vitamin supplements before you take Fitzyme Syrup . Inform your doctor if you have any allergic reactions to pork protein before starting Fitzyme Syrup . If you have a history of inflammation/swelling of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your doctor know about it. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Fitzyme Syrup with proper consultation and caution.

Fitzyme Syrup helps in relieving digestive disorders like indigestion, heartburn, gas, and abdominal discomfort. It contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Fungal 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, Fitzyme Syrup promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the intestine's essential nutrients. 

• Abdominal pain

• Feeling of sickness

• Skin rash

• Stomach upset

• Diarrhoea

• Painful urination

• Heartburn

• Nausea

• Vomiting

If you have a history of swelling/inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your doctor know about it before starting Fitzyme Syrup . 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. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Fitzyme 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: Fitzyme Syrup may interact with anti-diabetic drugs (acarbose and miglitol).

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

Drug-Disease Interaction: Fitzyme Syrup should be cautiously administered when 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 Fitzyme 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 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.

Dyspepsia (indigestion): Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, burning sensation in the stomach, gas, and belching.

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.
