About Wegazyme Syrup

DIASTASE+PEPSIN+SIMETHICONE is a digestive aid primarily used to treat digestive disorders. It effectively treats dyspepsia (indigestion), diarrhoea, 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 that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

DIASTASE+PEPSIN+SIMETHICONE 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.

Uses of Wegazyme Syrup

Dyspepsia, flatulence, colic pain, chronic diarrhoea, and abdominal distention. 

Medicinal Benefits of Wegazyme Syrup

DIASTASE+PEPSIN+SIMETHICONE helps relieve digestive disorders and contains Diastase, Pepsin, and Simethicone. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the 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, DIASTASE+PEPSIN+SIMETHICONE promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the essential nutrients in the intestine.
