Pharmacodynamics

A medicine is a balanced complex of digestive enzymes that are involved in the breakdown of proteins with fats, carbohydrates and fiber.

Papain is an enzyme from the hydrolase subgroup. The substance is isolated from papaya juice. Helps protein hydrolysis (effectively acts in the breakdown of meat proteins).

Pepsin is an animal enzyme that is a catalyst for protein and peptide decay.

Sanzim-2000 is a multienzyme complex containing proteases with amylases and lipases, which can be obtained from plant tissues with bacteria, and in addition to animal fungi and yeast.

The cellulose enzyme (derived from soil microbes) hydrolyses this component. Ribonucleases are a catalyst for RNA hydrolysis prior to the formation of some peptides.

Dosing and administration

Infants up to 12 months of age take 8-15 drops (taking into account the strength of the severity of digestive disorders) 3 times a day.

Reviews

Digestin was used in children and patients of other age categories during clinical tests (patients complained of discomfort and pain in the upper abdominal region, weakened appetite, dyspepsia, flatulence and colic). After 14 days of use, all of them showed disappearance of digestive disorders, normalization of digestion processes and improvement of appetite.

Because there is no alcohol in the drug, it is often used in children (this also contributes to a convenient dosage form). Most of the comments on the forums are related to the use of the drug for children. Mostly parents are satisfied, but there are also reviews that the effect was not observed.
