About Vivozyme Syrup

Vivozyme Syrup is used to treat digestive disorders. It effectively treats dyspepsia (indigestion), diarrhoea, and colic pain in infants due to indigestion and poor appetite, flatulence (gas), and abdominal distention (bloating and swelling in the stomach area). Indigestion is the inability to digest food, which is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Vivozyme Syrup contains Diastase, Pepsin, and Simethicone. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars for easy digestion of starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides (a short chain of amino acids). Simethicone lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Use Vivozyme Syrup in the dose and duration suggested by your doctor. Vivozyme Syrup is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like chills, constipation, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, please seek medical attention if they occur persistently.

If you or your child 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 suffer from indigestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Vivozyme Syrup with proper consultation and caution. Vivozyme Syrup is recommended for children when the doctor has advised it.

Uses of Vivozyme Syrup

Treatment of Dyspepsia, flatulence, colic pain, chronic diarrhoea, and abdominal distention

Medicinal Benefits

Vivozyme Syrup helps relieve digestive disorders and contains Diastase, Pepsin, and Simethicone. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars (maltose) to digest starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins easily. It is used to aid digestion in chronic illness, stomach fullness, and indigestion. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller peptides (a short chain of amino acids). Simethicone lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating gas expulsion through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract. Thus, Vivozyme Syrup promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the essential nutrients in the intestine.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • 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 alcoholic beverages with Vivozyme 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.
