About Unienzyme XT Tablet

Unienzyme XT Tablet is a digestive aid. It is indicated as symptomatic relief of functional dyspepsia and other gastrointestinal disorders, which usually manifest with bloating, belching, flatulence, abdominal discomfort or feeling of abdominal fullness.

Unienzyme XT Tablet combines Fungal Diastase, Papain, and Activated charcoal. Papain is an enzyme that digests protein and catalyses the breakdown of proteins by hydrolysis. It is sparingly soluble in water. Fungal Diastase is a starch-degrading enzyme. It helps digest starch and carbohydrates from the diet into simple polysaccharides and sugar. On the other hand, activated charcoal is a gas adsorbent of high capacity, and it reduces the volume of intestinal gas, providing relief of symptoms and reducing or eliminating flatulence.

Please take Unienzyme XT Tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Unienzyme XT Tablet is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like constipation, dark faeces, excruciating micturition (painful urination), skin irritation, and nausea. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, please seek medical attention if they occur.
