ORBIZYME TAB

About

ORBIZYME TAB is a digestive enzyme supplement designed to aid in the breakdown of food and improve nutrient absorption. It typically contains a blend of enzymes such as pancreatin (which includes amylase, lipase, and protease), fungal diastase, and pepsin. Amylase helps digest carbohydrates, lipase breaks down fats, and protease and pepsin facilitate protein digestion. These enzymes work synergistically to support the body's natural digestive processes, especially when there is an insufficiency of endogenous enzyme production, ensuring more efficient nutrient extraction from meals.

This medication is indicated for individuals experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, indigestion, or malabsorption due to conditions like pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, or after certain gastrointestinal surgeries. It helps to alleviate symptoms and ensure proper nutrient utilization from meals, thereby improving overall digestive health and preventing nutritional deficiencies.
