Diapepsin Syrup belongs to the class of 'digestive enzymes', primarily used to treat digestive disorders. It is used to digest starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Diapepsin Syrup effectively treats dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulence (gas), anorexia (eating disorder), heartburn, and post-meal abdominal distension (bloating and swelling in the stomach). Indigestion is the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Diapepsin Syrup contains Alpha-amylase and Papain. Alpha-amylase is an enzyme that works by breaking down or digesting proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It treats stomach fullness and indigestion problems. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down protein. It improves digestion and treats infections, diarrhoea and allergies. 

Please take Diapepsin Syrup in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Diapepsin Syrup is generally safe to use. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Please inform your doctor if you have any allergic reactions to medicines before starting Diapepsin Syrup . Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended to improve digestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use the medicine with proper consultation and caution. It is advised to limit alcohol intake since it can further affect your digestion whilst taking this medicine.

• Please take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi, miso, kombucha, buttermilk, natto, and cheese.
• Eat fibre-rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas, and bananas to aid digestion.
• Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Diapepsin Syrup as it can make you dehydrated and increase acidity. 
• Avoid overeating, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations that can burden your stomach.
• Eating small meals at regular intervals so that stomach does not have to work as hard or as long.
• Smoking can irritate the stomach lining; hence please avoid it.
• Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet and use pillows. This helps digestive juices to flow into the intestines rather than to the oesophagus.

Dyspepsia (indigestion): Indigestion is the inability to digest the food associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Flatulence: It is the build-up of gas in the digestive system that can lead to abdominal discomfort.

Heartburn: It is a burning sensation that occurs when the acid in the stomach travels upwards to the oesophagus or mouth. This usually occurs due to overeating, alcohol, spicy foods, and tight clothes.

Abdominal distension: This condition is caused when the air/gas or fluid is accumulated in the stomach, causing it to swell and resulting in bloating.
