Digestive Health

Medicines for acidity, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and overall gut health. Probiotics and digestive enzymes included.

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.

Digestive Health — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best medicine for acidity?
For quick relief, antacids like Gelusil or Digene work within minutes. For persistent acidity, PPIs like omeprazole (20mg before breakfast) are more effective. Lifestyle changes like avoiding spicy food, eating smaller meals, and not lying down after eating also help.
Should I take probiotics daily?
Probiotics are generally safe for daily use and can support digestive health. They are especially helpful during and after antibiotic courses. Choose products with at least 1-10 billion CFUs of well-studied strains.
What helps with bloating and gas?
Simethicone (Gas-O-Fast, Gasex) breaks up gas bubbles for quick relief. Digestive enzymes help if bloating occurs after meals. Peppermint oil capsules and fennel tea are natural options. Persistent bloating may need medical evaluation.
Is ORS enough for diarrhea?
ORS is the most important treatment for diarrhea to prevent dehydration. It replaces lost fluids and electrolytes. Loperamide can reduce frequency but should not be used if there is blood in stools or high fever. Seek medical help if diarrhea persists beyond 2-3 days.
