Brief Summary
Modification(s)

The
primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of MOLEQURE-Gastrointestinal
Health in improving gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal bloating,
indigestion, acidity, discomfort, altered appetite, and bowel irregularity
after 28-days who were under clinical diagnosis of Functional Gastrointestinal
Disorder (FGID). The mean change in the composite GI symptom score,
Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GI-QoLI) and laboratory safety
parameters (CBC, liver, and kidney function tests) were assessed after 28 days
of treatment with MOLEQURE-Gastrointestinal Health Capsule, twice daily before
meals.
Out
of 28 participants, 24 have been selected, enrolled and finished the trial. All
participants were male and had an average age of 45.91 years. All participants
reported experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort and functioning issues. The most common
complaints include nausea, indigestion, heartburn, early satiety, stomach pain,
discomfort, bloating, and abdominal distension, as well as changed bowel habits
such as constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between the two. The test drug therapy
resulted in a considerable improvement in GSRS score (65%), acid reflux (65%), abdominal
discomfort (65.3%) and indigestion (65.2%).
The overall
GI-QLI score was 101.08 at baseline, but it improved to 144.91 after treatment.
The improvement rate was 43.3 per cent.
After treatment, other GI-QLI subsections, such as
physical score, were improved by 25.2%; large bowel function by 50.7%; upper
tract function by 68.4%; and psychological or emotional score by 22.2%. All hematological and biochemical
indicators were within normal ranges and did not change during treatment. MOLEQURE- Gastrointestinal Health
Capsule treatment improved GI functional disorders and boosted Gastrointestinal
Quality of Life without causing any side effects. It may be recommended for
long-term use for general gastrointestinal dysfunctions such as abdominal pain,
bloating, indigestion, acidity, discomfort, disturbed appetite, and stool
irregularity. |
