Gastigo Tablet 10's

Gastigo Tablet 10's belongs to the class of 'digestive enzymes' primarily used to treat gas, bloating, and stomach pain. Gas is the build-up of air in the digestive tract. Bloating is the swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen due to gas in the stomach and intestines.

Gastigo Tablet 10's contains Alpha Galactosidase and Simethicone. Alpha Galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars to easily digest starch, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Simethicone is an anti-gas (anti-flatulence) medicine that 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.

Gas is the build-up of air in the digestive tract that leads to abdominal discomfort. It is caused due to overeating, swallowing more amount of air, smoking, and foods that cause excess gas like beans, lentils, dairy products, and carbonated drinks. Symptoms include belching/burping, stomach cramps, increased abdomen size, and chest pain.

Bloating is the swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen due to gas in the stomach and intestines. Symptoms of bloating include stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. Bloating makes a person burp or belch. It is usually caused due to problem foods that produce more gas and lactose intolerance.
