The drug "Acidin pepsin" is a fairly effective and good tool that contains digestive enzymes. At the same time, digestion in the stomach of those taking this medicine is significantly improved. The composition of the drug includes 2 active substances:
1. betaine. Thanks to this substance, sulfuric acid is formed in the stomach . She also takes an active part in the decomposition of the delivered food. It is a kind of activator of many processes.
2. pepsin. Initially, such a substance is an inactive proenzyme (pepsinogen), which is enclosed in the mucosa lining the stomach. Only when food enters there does it turn into active pepsin. Together with betaine, such a substance significantly increases not only the secretion of gastric juice, but also its acidity. Among other things, these 2 substances have a useful proteolytic property. All this contributes to good digestion.
Indications for use "Acidin Pepsin"
Self-medication is not recommended. Be sure to consult a doctor. However, the medicine is prescribed for such problems:
- gastritis of hypocidal and anacid types. The second option is a chronic disease in which acidity is greatly reduced. The thing is that the secretion of hydrochloric acid practically does not stand out. With hypocidal gastritis, it does not secrete enough. This is a rather complex and serious problem of the human body. After all, normal acidity provides a good bactericidal effect. And with such diseases, infection with microbes is possible, which means the manifestation of all kinds of inflammation of the stomach. Hence the development of a wide variety of pathologies. In addition, low acidity contributes to the accumulation of products that are obtained after the breakdown of proteins. This even leads to terrible oncological diseases. In the treatment of such diseases, it is necessary to use drugs that have the ability to replace hydrochloric acid. This medicine is Acidin Pepsin.
- Prescribe the drug and with inflammatory processes in the stomach.
- Achalia is also a disease in which the release of hydrochloric acid is completely absent , and enzymes are not observed at all.
