What stomach problems can digestive enzymes cure

We all know that our stomach absorbs nutrients mainly through digestive enzymes in our body. Our stomach can break down and digest nutrients, but digestive enzymes can help us absorb nutrients in the stomach. When patients have stomach problems, it is related to the secretion of digestive enzymes in the patient's body. Therefore, we can also consider digestion when treating them. So what stomach problems can digestive enzymes treat?

Digestive enzyme capsules, many patients with gastrointestinal diseases are not familiar with this medicine. It is used to treat lack of appetite and indigestion, including abdominal discomfort, belching, early satiety, postprandial bloating, nausea, excessive flatulence, and fatty stools. It can also be used for indigestion in patients with cholecystitis and gallstones, as well as those who have had their gallbladder removed.

This medicine is a compound preparation. Each tablet contains 25 mg of pepsin, 50 mg of papain, 15 mg of amylase, 25 mg of ursodeoxycholic acid, 15 mg of cellulase, trypsin, pancreatic amylase, and pancreatic lipase. Excipients are: microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, silica gel, magnesium stearate, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2910, and polyoxyethylene 6000.

Digestive enzyme capsules. The pepsin in this medicine can break down proteins into peptones and polypeptides; papain can hydrolyze animal and plant proteins to improve protein utilization; amylase can directly break down starch into easily absorbed dextrin and maltose; ursodeoxycholic acid can increase bile acid secretion, improve pancreatic enzyme activity, and promote fat emulsification in food; cellulase can degrade plant cell walls, promote digestion and absorption of nutrients, and activate pepsin; pancreatic enzyme and pancreatic esterase can break down fat into glycerol and fatty acids, break down proteins into peptones, and break down starch into dextrin and sugar, thereby promoting food digestion, expelling intestinal gas, and eliminating abdominal bloating.

Digestive enzyme capsules can promote food digestion, expel intestinal gas and promote bile secretion. They can enhance digestion and absorption and are effective for various indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension caused by pancreatic insufficiency. But many people have this question: Can compound digestive enzymes be taken with other medicines?

It is best not to take digestive enzyme capsules with other medicines, and they are usually taken alone after meals. Why do I say so? Pepsin, amylase, etc. in the compound digestive enzyme capsules are all digestive enzymes. The activity of enzymes in the human body needs a certain environment to survive and function, and the same is true for digestive enzymes. Environmental factors such as temperature, acidity, alkalinity, and metal ions can easily affect their activity. Drugs containing metal ions, such as aluminum preparations and bismuth preparations, will affect the action of digestive enzymes, which will affect the activity of compound digestive enzymes, so they should not be taken at the same time. After taking the compound digestive enzyme capsules, adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, and loose stools may occur, and adverse reactions such as oral discomfort may also occur.
