1. Uses of Enzystal
Enzystal is a pharmaceutical product that treats diseases of the digestive tract. Therefore, patients can consider using the drug when they have problems with the digestive system. However, there are several digestive diseases, so it is necessary to consult a doctor for instructions. In some common cases, doctors often advise patients to use Enzystal when they are in the following cases:
- Bloating
- Overeating due to consuming excess food or other causes
- Loss of appetite
- Difficulty digesting food leading to constipation
Digestive diseases are quite diverse and there are many types of treating medications. However, each type of medicine will treat a different disease and cannot be used interchangeably. Therefore, patients need to determine the suitability of Enzystal with the disease before using it to reduce side effects or cause loss of drug effectiveness. If the gastrointestinal diseases are not listed above but are still prescribed by a doctor, you should ask for more information for explanation.
2. Dosage and way to use Enzystal
Enzystal is not a prescription drug, but it cannot be used arbitrarily if patients do not fully understand the product information. Doctors will give the best advice because they directly examine and evaluate the disease condition before prescribing the drug. If you only refer to the information on how to use it, pharmacists can support you.
The dosage form of Enzystal is sugar-coated tablets. Enzystal will dissolve in the intestines after you swallow it. To avoid side effects, when taking the drug, consider the time before or after meals as prescribed by the doctor.
Normally, Enzystal will be used for patients over 7 years old. Patients under 7 years old should not use the drug, except in special cases under the direction of a doctor. The common time to take this drug is after meals. For patients over 7 years old, the drug should be taken 3 times a day. Depending on the disease, the amount of medicine taken each time can vary from 1 to 2 pills. If the disease is severe, the dose should be increased, while if the disease is mild, the lowest dose should be given priority.
The dosage of the drug used must be accurate to avoid side effects. Each time using the drug, the condition must be monitored, and the schedule must always be remembered. Patients must not forget to check the dosage before taking the drug. The treatment time may be longer or shorter depending on the patient's condition. You can also ask your doctor for advice on the treatment period using Enzystal.
3. Notes before using Enzystal
Before using Enzystal, you should carefully check the risk of drug interactions that may occur due to allergies or sensitivities to the medicinal ingredients. In case of mild allergies, patients can consider using it by adjusting the dose and monitoring when using it. In case of severe irritation with the risk of serious effects, it is essential to change to another drug with the same effect for treatment. However, the patient should not decide but should discuss it with the doctor. If the patient has a history of allergies to the drug ingredients, notify the doctor early for an alternative plan.
The drug can be overdosed if the patient ignores to check the amount of medicine taken. In addition, forgetting to take the drug is also a cause of drug overdose that needs to be prevented. To avoid this effect, you need to pay attention to the time of taking the drug, and enough space for 3 doses per day. In addition, make an appointment and check the amount of medicine taken before taking it.
If having any unusual reactions or suspect an overdose after taking the drug, it is necessary to notify the doctor. At the same time, quickly go to the hospital for examination to avoid severe effects. Early diagnosis and treatment will minimize the serious effects due to an overdose.
Before using Enzystal to treat digestive diseases, checking the medicine can help reduce side effects. For medicines with packaging that is no longer intact or broken, consider not using them, because the content and properties of the medicine may have changed. After using Enzystal, store them in a dry, airy place away from strong light to limit the transformation of the ingredients.
4. Side effects of Enzystal
According to patients who have used Enzystal, most of them have symptoms similar to allergies if drug interactions occur. Therefore, you need to pay attention if you experience symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Itchy rash
The above side effects often occur according to measurements from previous research. However, not all patients using Enzystal have them. First of all, if the patient experiences side effects or suspects that it is a side effect, you need to call the doctor immediately and take the patient to the nearest hospital.
Note that side effects can change and cause the patient to lose vigilance and not be aware of the disease. To minimize the impact when side effects are dangerous, identify common symptoms. If there is any abnormality, report it to the doctor for advice and help.
