Composition

Lactase (3000 Cfu)

Mactase Drops are a dietary supplement aimed at aiding individuals with lactose intolerance. This product is part of the category of digestive enzyme supplements.

The drops also help alleviate discomforting symptoms like bloating, gas, stomach pain, and diarrhoea that can occur after consuming dairy products. By enhancing the body's natural lactase production, it supports the digestion of lactose, which allows you to consume dairy products without experiencing these uncomfortable symptoms.

Before starting to take this medicine, it's important to consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. It's also crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions or medicines you're currently taking. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Ensure you continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Gas
Mild gastrointestinal discomfort: This refers to an upset stomach or belly, which may include symptoms like gas, bloating, or a feeling of fullness.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Mactase Drops. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Bloating: If you experience bloating after taking Mactase Drops, consider taking it with meals.
Mild gastrointestinal discomfort: If mild discomfort occurs after taking this medicine, try taking it during or immediately after meals to lessen this effect.

Mactase Drops contain lactase (3000 CFU) and work on your body as follows:

Hydrolysis of Lactose: Lactase present in Mactase Drops breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, into two simpler sugars, glucose and galactose.
Facilitates Absorption: These simple sugars – glucose and galactose – are easily absorbed by your body. This reduces the chances of undigested lactose reaching your large intestine.
Alleviates Discomfort: By aiding the digestion of lactose in your small intestine, Mactase Drops help manage the discomforting symptoms associated with lactose intolerance like bloating, gas, stomach pain, and diarrhoea.
