Medzyme 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). Medzyme 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.
Medzyme 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, Medzyme Syrup treats digestive disorders and gastric problems.
Please take Medzyme Syrup in the dose and duration advised by your doctor based on your medical condition. Medzyme 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.
