About Zymocoal Tablet 10's

Zymocoal Tablet 10's contains digestive enzymes. It is primarily used to treat digestive disorders. Generally, indigestion or stomach upset can occur from various factors such as food allergy, overeating, greasy or spicy food consumption, and some medicines. Zymocoal Tablet 10's helps in treating conditions such as dyspepsia (indigestion), loss of appetite, flatulence (gas), and abdominal distention (bloating and swelling in the stomach area). Indigestion/dyspepsia can be defined as the inability to digest food that is associated with pain and discomfort in the stomach.

Zymocoal Tablet 10's is a combination medicine containing Pancreatin (digestive enzyme), Simethicone and Activated charcoal (antiflatulent). Pancreatin works by breaking down or digesting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Simethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through burping. Activated Charcoal helps to reduce the volume of intestinal gas and produces relief. 

Zymocoal Tablet 10's is generally safe for use. It rarely causes side effects like nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. These effects resolve over time. However, if these side effects worsen, please consult your doctor. Zymocoal Tablet 10's should be given as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Zymocoal Tablet 10's.
