Indigestion Tablets Investigation
Aim:
My aim of this investigation is to find out the composition of
tablets which are for indigestion and compare their prices. I will
find out the indigestion tablet which reacts and dissolves quickly
with Hydrochloric Acid and produces more bubbles.
Introduction:
Indigestion, also known as upset stomach or dyspepsia, is discomfort
or a burning feeling in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by
nausea, abdominal bloating, belching, and sometimes vomiting.
Indigestion might be caused by a disease in the digestive tract, but
for many people, it results from eating too much, eating too quickly,
eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations. Smoking,
drinking too much alcohol, using medications that irritate the stomach
lining, being tired, and having ongoing stress can also cause
indigestion or make it worse.
Some people have persistent indigestion that is not related to any of
these factors. This type of indigestion--called functional or nonulcer
dyspepsia--may be caused by a problem in the muscular squeezing action
of the stomach (motility). To diagnose indigestion, the doctor might
perform tests for problems, like ulcers. In the process of diagnosis,
a person may have x rays of the stomach and small intestine or undergo
endoscopy, in which the doctor uses an instrument to look at the
inside of the stomach.
Avoiding the foods and situations that seem to cause indigestion in
some cases is the most successful way to treat it. Excess stomach acid
does not usually cause or result from indigestion, so antacids are not
an appropriate treatment, although some people report that they do
help. Smokers can help relieve their indigestion by quitting smoking,
or at least not smoking right before eating. Exercising with a full
stomach may cause indigestion, so scheduling exercise before a meal or
at least an hour afterward might help.
To treat indigestion caused by a functional problem in the digestive
tract, the doctor may prescribe medicine that affects stomach
motility.
Because indigestion can be a sign of or mimic a more serious disease,

Multiple studies have demonstrated the prophylactic effect of rectal declophenate (5-9) and rectal indomethacin (10, 11) or combined diclophenate and indomethacin (12), but no studies have evaluated the prophylactic effect of oral NSAIDs. On the other hand, Almeida et al demonstrated data on the ...

•Jose symptoms is derived from a disorder called Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurring in the digestive system with the consumption of food, irritating the esophagus generally causing notable clinical symptoms such as the following: vomiting, chronic cough, angina, & regurgitation immediately after the consumed food. Jose's experience of the lump in his throat is caused by esophageal sphincter pressure.
IBS is a functional GI disorder, meaning it cannot be explained by any specific structural or biochemical abnormality. The disorder is subdivided into three different types, which are named on the basis of the predominant symptom – IBS-D (diarrhea-predominant), IBS-C (constipation-predominant), IBS-M (mixed diarrhea and constipation). Clinical presentation varies considerably with regard to the quality of the predominant feature and the overall severity of symptoms. Formal diagnosis is based on the most recent Rome III criteria, which require that a patient experience recurrent abdominal discomfort of at least 3 days per month over the previous 3 months, with a total symptom duration of at least 6 months, in...
Digestive juices are produced daily in the amount of about 2 to 3 quarts, which could explain the gurgling noises heard at times. As food enters, the gastric juices are then released and begin working on proteins. the salivary amylase continues working in your stomach. Within the action of the gastric juices are helped by the churning in the stomach walls. The semiliquid food is called chyme, as the chyme leaves the stomach through the pyloric sphincter, as it acts as the gatekeeper. This allows a small squirt of chyme into the duodenum from time to time. Pizza takes around 2-4 hours to leave your stomach. As food moves through your stomach by peristalsis; vomiting is an action that occurs due to reverse . Therefore, the only known substances absorbed in the stomach are alcohol and some
Digestion is defined as the process of transforming foods into unites for absorption. The Digestive System is a complex network of organisms that have six major processes: The digestion of food, the secretion of fluids and digestive enzymes, the mixing and movement of food and waste throughout the body, the digestion of food into smaller pieces, the absorption of nutrients, and the excretion of wastes (Inner Body (1).)
The digestive system is a very large system in our bodies. This system runs all the way from the mouth, where we put whole food in, to the large intestine that includes the rectum and anus, where waste exits. The digestive system is composed of the mouth, esophagus, liver, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus (Diseases). The gastrointestinal (GI) tract that makes up the digestive system includes all of these organs other than the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, which are digestive accessory organs that food does not have to pass through to be broken down (The Digestive Sytem and Body Metabolism). The study of this system is called gastroenterology which broken down translates to the study (ology) of the stomach (gastro-) and intestines (entero-) (The Digestive Sytem and Body Metabolism). The

To take the Alka-Seltzer tablet you have to dissolve it in water causing a chemical reaction to form and the whole solution begins to fizz. The fizz occurs
Pre-clinical testing is performed to Good laboratory practice (GLP) and covers pivotal toxicology & safety pharmacology studies. In preclinical research, scientists test their ideas for new biomedical prevention strategies in laboratory experiments or in animals.
In conclusion, I have learnt the acid in our digestive system and how it helps towards digestion and our other body system without damaging them. Moreover, I was able to figure the components of the gastric juice (HCl) I was also able to see the positives and negative effects towards us and the prevention of it. In my opinion, to make this research better, I would like to experiment and see the acidity of the gastric juice and to later on do more research with more knowledge about this topic.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal syndrome characterized by chronic pain and irregular bowl movement with the absence of organ cause. IBS could be diarrhea-predominate or constipation-predominate. One of the pathophysiology that thought to cause IBS diarrhea-predominate (IBS-D) is a high level of serotonin especially after the meals. There are two type of serotonin that involve in the gastrointestinal system, type 3 (HT3) and type 4 (HT4). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ondansetron, which is a selective 5-HT3-receptor antagonist that have been used as antiemitc agent, in the treatment IBS-D.
Over the years barium sulfate has proven to be a successful contrast agent for examination of the gastrointestinal tract. Though the road to discovery was long and relentless at times, when it finally found its niche in medicine it was only to the advantage of the physicians and patients today. There are many new diagnostic tools in radiology today that have led to the questioning of barium studies’ place in medicine and whether it will remain there long. And to what cost it will take to keep barium around, only time will tell some say. Will it prove to be an obsolete and unnecessary step in viewing, finding and diagnosing pathology or will the scanning technology of the modern radiology day find its diagnostic qualities outdated and pointless compared to its more detailed and less time consuming counterparts.
A supplement that is progressively becoming more popular in the United States are diet Pills. The purpose of consuming these pills is to help individuals lose weight in a easy manner. Diet pills come in many different variations that contributes to certain tasks in the body. Diet pills alone can have a dangerous effect on the body let alone being knowledgeable in knowing what diet pills are best for your body is very important. People who are consuming or looking into consuming diet pills often forget to look further into the product due to desperation. Everyone already knows that the best way to lose weight is by exercising and eating healthy; but since people are not taking that into consideration, it’s best to believe they are to the point
