Methods of using the drug for heartburn

The detailed interpretation of the "instructions for use" does not mention the direct purpose of getting rid of the symptoms of heartburn. However, it is used for fixed episodes of heartburn:

• Delay of consumed food in the superficial part of the gastrointestinal tract. These circumstances are triggered by a deficiency of natural, personal pancreatic enzymes, typically a disease like pancreatitis. Unprocessed food wanders, the result is hypostasis, then the stage of suppuration sets in, and further provokes heartburn.

• Increased eating of foods with high fat content, spiciness. Fried food has a tremendous burden on the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in heartburn. "Mezim Forte" helps to defuse the situation and ease the burning sensation, further accelerates digestion, simplifying the procedure for "heavy" dishes.
