CANTIZYME
CANTIZYME is a digestive aid primarily used to treat the digestive disorder and proper digestion of starch or carbohydrate in the die into a simpler form of sugar/carbohydrate. It is also an appetite stimulant (increases hunger) that effectively treats acid indigestion (heartburn), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and eructation (burping). CANTIZYME can also be used to relieve other digestive disorders like pancreatic insufficiency (inability to produce pancreatic enzymes) and abdominal discomfort. Indigestion is the inability to digest the complex form of food associated with the sour stomach, gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.
CANTIZYME contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Fungal diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down the complex carbohydrate (polysaccharides, i.e. starch) into simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides, i.e. simple sugar). It promotes digestion in cases of chronic illness, stomach fullness, flatulence, and indigestion. On the other hand, Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps break down larger protein molecules into smaller units of protein (amino acids). Thus together FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN aid digestive disorder and gastric problems.
CANTIZYME is available in the form of liquid/syrup. Please take FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like abdominal pain, feeling of sickness, skin rash, stomach upset, diarrhoea, painful urination, heartburn, nausea and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, please seek medical attention.
Indications
Digestive disorder, Gastric problems, Appetite stimulation, Pancreatic insufficiency, Eructation.
Medicinal Benefits
CANTIZYME helps in relieving digestive disorders like indigestion, heartburn, gas, and abdominal discomfort. It contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Fungal diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose) for easy digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller proteins (amino acids). Thus, FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the intestine's essential nutrients.
Directions for Use
Shake the syrup bottle well before use. Check the label for directions and take CANTIZYME after meals with a measuring cup in the dose and duration prescribed by the doctor.

Warnings
If you a history of swelling/inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your doctor know about it. Oral syrup of FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN is to be cautiously administered in diabetic patients since it may contain sucrose, instead, you can try sugar-free formulations. Sleep with your head elevated (at least 6 inches) above your feet can decrease the acid reflux symptoms. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from indigestion. It is not known if FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN is excreted into the breast milk. So, pregnant and breastfeeding women should use FUNGAL DIASTASE+PEPSIN with proper consultation and caution. Alcohol consumption and smoking can make the stomach produce more acid, leading to heartburn, so avoid its usage during treatment.
