Unique Japanese medicine


Comprehensive gastrointestinal medicine is a medicine unique to Japan.

Commercially available gastrointestinal drugs can be broadly divided into those that suppress excessive gastrointestinal function and those that activate gastrointestinal function. Therefore, if you choose a medicine that does not suit your symptoms, it may not only be ineffective, but may even make your symptoms worse.

So, what kind of over-the-counter gastrointestinal medicine should you choose for what kind of symptoms?

Gastrointestinal problems can be classified into three types: hyperacidity, indigestion, and an unspecified type.


If you choose to do so, it may not only be ineffective, but may even make your symptoms worse.

So, what kind of over-the-counter gastrointestinal medicine should you choose for what kind of symptoms?

Gastrointestinal problems can be classified into three types: hyperacidity, indigestion, and an unspecified type.

Hyperacidity is a condition where too much stomach acid is produced due to overeating, drinking too much, stress, etc. Symptoms are more likely to appear on an empty stomach, and include a sharp pain in the stomach, nausea, heartburn, and a feeling of gluttonous food.


For symptoms of excessive gastric acid production, it would be best to choose H2 antagonists that suppress gastric acid secretion, medications that neutralize gastric acid, or gastric mucosal protectants that protect chapped stomach mucosa. H2 antagonists include famotidine and ranitidine, antacids include sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide, and gastric mucosal protectants include teprenone, sucralfate, and azulene.

Indigestion type is a condition in which the body is unable to digest food properly due to constitutionally weak gastrointestinal function, stress, or overeating. After eating, you may experience symptoms such as feeling like the food you ate has not been digested, feeling heavy in your stomach, feeling queasy, or not having an appetite.

For people with weak stomach function, it would be best to choose stomach medicines or digestive enzyme medicines that activate the weak stomach. Stomach-promoting medicines include turmeric and turmeric, and digestive enzyme medicines include lipase and diastase. It is best to choose medicines that contain these ingredients.


If you are not sure whether you have too much stomach acid or indigestion, you may want to try taking a comprehensive gastrointestinal medicine that contains a comprehensive combination of several ingredients.


Comprehensive gastrointestinal medicine is a comprehensive combination of several types of ingredients such as antacids, gastric mucosal protectors, stomach health medicines, and digestive enzymes, and is effective against overdrinking, heartburn, heavy stomach pain, loss of appetite, etc. It is a gastrointestinal medicine that is like a panacea. The same drug contains an ingredient that suppresses the stomach to relieve heartburn caused by excessive drinking, and an ingredient that stimulates gastric lining and enzyme secretion to relieve stomach heaviness and loss of appetite.


This comprehensive gastrointestinal medicine seems like a very mysterious medicine. Since it contains ingredients that suppress gastrointestinal function and ingredients that promote it, I feel like the plus or minus will be zero. In fact, it seems that the ingredients are designed to prevent them from interacting with each other.


By the way, there are very few countries where this comprehensive gastrointestinal medicine is sold commercially, so it can be said to be a medicine unique to Japan. Because Japanese people have had a staple diet of foods that are easy to digest, they have relatively weak stomachs, so comprehensive gastrointestinal medicines are often suitable for them.
