Voltazyme Tablet belongs to a class of medicine called 'digestive enzymes' or 'pancreatic enzyme supplement' prescribed to treat indigestion and bloating due to pancreas problems. Voltazyme Tablet is prescribed for people whose bodies do not make enough of their own enzymes to digest their food. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is the inability to digest food properly due to the pancreas' lack of a digestive enzyme. 

Voltazyme Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Pancreatin (digestive enzyme) and Dimethicone (anti-flatulent). Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that helps in the digestion of food. Pancreatin contains ‘pancreatin enzymes’ that break down food and convert it into energy. On the other hand, Dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Take Voltazyme Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Voltazyme Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience nausea, stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and bloating. Most of these side effects of Voltazyme Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor before taking Voltazyme Tablet if you have gout, asthma, cystic fibrosis (a disease that affects the lungs and digestive system), or any disease condition. Please also inform the doctor if you have a history of rapid onset of pancreatitis or worsening of long-term difficulty with your pancreas. Voltazyme Tablet might interfere with the absorption of folic acid and iron; maintain a minimum gap between both. Consult your doctor before taking Voltazyme Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Voltazyme Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Voltazyme Tablet can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor; the dose depends upon the child’s age and body weight.

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency: Pancreas play an important role in the digestion of food. It produces enzymes that help in the breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs in people whose bodies do not make enough of their own enzymes. This leads to the inability of proper food digestion due to the pancreas' lack of a digestive enzyme.

Indigestion/ bloating: Indigestion is one of the common difficulties that has affected almost all of us at some point in time. Indigestion is defined as a discomfort feeling or a burning feeling in the upper abdomen. Flatulence and bloating occur due to the accumulation of gas or air in the digestive system.
