Introduction
Celsius Dizest is a prescription medication containing the active ingredients Alpha-galactosidase, Lipase, Alpha-amylase, Protease, and Lactase. It is commonly prescribed under this brand name for the management of digestive disorders related to enzyme deficiencies.
Uses
Celsius Dizest is primarily used to improve the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in individuals with enzyme deficiencies. It is often prescribed for conditions such as lactose intolerance, pancreatic insufficiency, and other digestive disorders where the body’s natural enzyme production is compromised.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Celsius Dizest may vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual patient factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Generally, the capsules should be taken with meals or snacks, swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsules unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.
Mechanism of Action
Celsius Dizest contains a combination of enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the digestive system. Alpha-galactosidase aids in the digestion of complex carbohydrates, while lipase helps break down dietary fats. Alpha-amylase and protease assist in the breakdown of starches and proteins, respectively. Lactase helps break down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. By supplementing these enzymes, Celsius Dizest improves the body’s ability to digest and absorb essential nutrients.

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.
Drug Interactions
Celsius Dizest may interact with certain medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products.

Your healthcare provider will be able to provide specific guidance regarding potential drug interactions.
