Uses of Pepzym Tablets .

Pepzym Tablets . is used for short-term relief of indigestion and related symptoms such as bloating, excess wind, a feeling of fullness after meals, nausea and discomfort caused by slow digestion or poor digestion of fatty or protein-rich food. It is usually prescribed when these symptoms occur together. Long-term use is not recommended because of the metoclopramide content.

How Pepzym Tablets . works

Metoclopramide helps the stomach empty more quickly and reduces nausea. Bromelain and pancreatin are digestive enzymes that help break down proteins, fats and starches. Simethicone breaks up gas bubbles to ease bloating, and sodium dehydrocholate stimulates the flow of bile, which helps with fat digestion.
