Fungal Diastase (50 mg) & Pepsin (10 mg) Syrup is a digestive enzyme preparation commonly used to support digestion and improve appetite in cases of indigestion, loss of appetite, heaviness after meals, bloating, and digestive discomfort. It contains two important enzymes: Fungal Diastase IP 50 mg and Pepsin IP 10 mg in each 5 ml dose.
Fungal Diastase is an enzyme obtained from fungal sources. It helps in the digestion of carbohydrates and starches by converting them into simpler sugars, making food easier to digest. It is useful when the body’s natural digestive enzyme activity is insufficient or when digestion becomes weak due to illness, irregular eating habits, or poor appetite.
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that helps in the digestion of proteins. It breaks down protein molecules into smaller peptides, supporting better digestion and nutrient absorption. The combination of Fungal Diastase and Pepsin makes the syrup effective as a digestive aid for both carbohydrate and protein digestion.
This syrup is usually available as an oral liquid formulation and may be flavored to improve palatability. It is generally taken after meals or as directed by a physician. The dose should be followed strictly according to medical advice, especially in children, elderly patients, pregnant women, or patients having ulcers, acidity, gastritis, liver disease, kidney disease, or any chronic illness.
The formulation may also contain excipients such as sucrose, sorbitol, preservatives, permitted colours, flavouring agents, and purified water. During manufacturing, pH, clarity, filtration, enzyme addition, and final volume make-up are important process controls to maintain product quality and consistency.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
Caution: This syrup is for oral use only. Do not use it without medical advice if allergic to any ingredient. Shake well before use and follow the physician’s instructions.
