Benefits

  • Fungal diastase breaks down dietary starch, easing the bloating and fullness that follow a heavy carbohydrate meal.
  • Pepsin assists protein digestion where gastric enzyme activity is reduced.
  • Relief of post-meal fullness often improves appetite in convalescent and elderly patients.
  • The syrup form is easily taken with or after meals and allows the dose to be adjusted.
  • Useful during convalescence and after illness, when digestion is temporarily sluggish.

Precautions

  • Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to pepsin, fungal enzymes or pork-derived products depending on the source of the pepsin.
  • Use with caution in active peptic ulcer disease and in acute pancreatitis.
  • Take with or immediately after meals — on an empty stomach the enzymes have no substrate and may irritate the mucosa.
  • This treats the symptoms of impaired digestion, not their cause. Persistent indigestion needs a diagnosis.
  • Alarm features — weight loss, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black stools, anaemia — need urgent investigation.
  • Shake well before each dose and use the measure supplied.
  • Use in children, pregnancy and breastfeeding only on medical advice.
