Benefits of Eupep Syrup
Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease
Eupep Syrup is used to treat peptic ulcers. It reduces the amount of acid your
stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals
naturally. You may be given other medicines depending on what caused the
ulcer. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be
effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear. It may also be prescribed
to prevent ulcers from forming by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach.
Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disease of the large
intestine (colon) that usually needs long-term management. This can lead to
bleeding, frequent diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, cramps and stomach pain.
Eupep Syrup relaxes the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine) and
relieves these symptoms effectively. Usually, it is used along with other
medicines for the management of your condition. Continue taking it for as long
as the doctor may advise you to. You need to take this medicine regularly to
get the most out of it. Take a fiber-rich diet, avoid oily or spicy food and
drink plenty of fluids while taking it to make sure you stay hydrated.
Pain relief
Eupep Syrup reduces secretions in the stomach such as acid secretions and
improves movement of muscles of the stomach and gut (intestine). This
effectively relieves pain, sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach
and intestine, thereby relaxing the muscles and improving movement of food. It
helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating
and discomfort. Take it as it is prescribed to get the most benefit.
Eventually, it will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and
have a better, more active, quality of life.
