Hi,

You can take it as it is a non prescription drugs and it helps in digestion; you can take it twice a day after food when you feel abdominal distension.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dr XXXXXXX

I wanted to know, should I take this regularly ? or as SOS?

If regularly - is there a dosage period for how long I should take?

Also - why did Pantocid not help ?

Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,


Thanks for your question.



As per your question I want to say that you can take UNIENZYME tabs which is given as 1-2 tabs maximum twice a day only.you do not need to take it regularly only when you have distention then take it.



You need to change your life style like this:-



1)Avoid foods that trigger your problems, avoid over eating and quick eating

2)Take small meals 5-6 times rather large one 3 times

3)Try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, or carbonated beverages and smoking

4)Avoid painkillers like NSAIDS without doctors advise

5)If you take any drugs prescribed by doctors tell them for alternative medications if you got problems like bloating and gas

6)Try to control stress and anxiety and do regular exercise



Finally, I want to clarify that the drug Pantocid is used if gas and bloating is due to secondary peptic causes only.



'Hope i have answered your question. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health”
