Digestin – Digestive Enzyme Tablets
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Intro: Digestin is a reliable digestive aid produced by Pharco Pharmaceuticals. It is a direct enzyme supplement containing Papain (100 mg) and Sanzyme (30 mg). While Papain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya that specializes in breaking down proteins, Sanzyme is a multi-enzyme complex that helps digest carbohydrates and fibers. This combination is designed to support a struggling digestive system by mimicking the natural enzymes produced by the body.
Indications:
Functional Dyspepsia: Relief from the heavy "stone in the stomach" feeling after high-protein or heavy meals.
Chronic Gastritis: Supporting digestion in patients with long-term stomach lining inflammation.
Indigestion and Bloating: Reducing the fermentation of undigested food that leads to gas and abdominal discomfort.
Loss of Appetite: Helping restore interest in food by ensuring existing meals are processed efficiently.
How to Use:
Dosage: Typically 1 to 2 tablets three times daily.
Timing: For maximum benefit, take the tablets immediately before, during, or after meals.
Flexibility: Because it is a supplement of natural enzymes, it is often used as needed for particularly heavy meals.
Crucial Rules:
Sugar-Free Benefit: Digestin tablets are generally suitable for those monitoring sugar intake, but always check with your doctor if you are diabetic.
Consistency: While it can be used occasionally, patients with chronic digestive issues see the best results when taken consistently with every main meal.
Storage: Keep the strip in a cool, dry place. Enzymes can lose their "activity" if exposed to high heat or moisture for long periods.
Contraindications: Do not use if you have a known allergy to papaya or any of the enzyme components. It is not recommended during acute attacks of pancreatitis.
