Enterpass is a brand name soft capsule containing digestive enzymes (Alpha amylase and Papain) and Simethicone.
1. What effect does the drug have?
Enterpass has three ingredients with the following effects:
Simethicone is a surfactant, which will reduce the bubbles on the lining of the digestive tract, so it reduces the feeling of flatulence, indigestion, and abdominal distension. Simethicone does not affect the gastrointestinal mucosa, so it is quite safe.
Alpha amylase enzyme helps to hydrolyze starch to increase starch absorption. And Papaine is an enzyme that helps break down proteins in food into amino acids and peptides for easier absorption.
Therefore, the indications of Enterpass are: Treatment of symptoms of flatulence, indigestion, loss of appetite, feeling of abdominal distension, malabsorption due to fermentation or the influence of other digestive diseases.
2. How to take Enterpass
