Digestive Health in Anna Nagar

Digestive problems are among the most common reasons people seek medical help. From occasional indigestion to chronic conditions like acid reflux (GERD), the right medicines can provide significant relief.

Antacids containing aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium carbonate neutralize stomach acid for quick relief. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole and pantoprazole reduce acid production and are used for GERD and peptic ulcers.

Probiotics containing beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) support a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion, and may help with antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Digestive enzyme supplements help break down food more efficiently.

For constipation, osmotic laxatives (lactulose, polyethylene glycol), bulk-forming agents (isabgol/psyllium), and stool softeners offer different approaches. For diarrhea, oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are essential to prevent dehydration, while loperamide can reduce frequency.
