Brief Summary   Dyspepsia is a common disease that accounts for ~5% of patients who visit their primary health care provider and functional dyspepsia (FD) accounts for 60-80% of all patients with dyspepsia (Jung HK et al., 2016). The FGID with upper abdominal pain and discomfort is the hallmark feature of functional dyspepsia. One of the unique features of functional dyspepsia is transient deficiency of digestive enzymes in the system. The global prevalence of FD varies from 11-30%, and Indian prevalence is reported to be 30.4% (Soni NK et al., 2020).

Digestive enzyme supplementation are from the natural source and required by the body to metabolize and digest complex food to prevent indigestion and for better GI heath. Some conditions (such as diarrhoea, constipation, dyspepsia, etc.) can change the normal balance of bacteria (flora) found in the stomach and intestines. For better improvement of digestion and restoring normal gut flora; probiotics are beneficial. Digestive enzymes and probiotics are essential for normal digestive function. The addition of probiotics to enzymes helps promote a healthy intestinal tract environment. Combination of digestive enzymes and probiotics exhibits beneficial action in metabolism and utilization of nutrients. Probiotics with digestive enzymes have been used to prevent bowel symptoms (such as gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, etc.) and to treat lactose intolerance. Thus, the combination of digestive enzyme and probiotics would help in digestion and restore the normal flora which in turn would also aid digestion. Together, the combination would be useful in relieving GI discomfort as seen in dyspepsia, constipation, diarrhoea, lactose intolerance, etc. and thereby may even prevent IBS. (Soni NK et al., 2020).
Thus, the combination of digestive enzyme and probiotics like Digifine capsule along with PPIs or prokinetics may facilitate in better relief to patients with functional dyspepsia.
