Contact UsWhat Is DigestBalance Compound
DigestBalance Compound is the name Voshell's Pharmacy uses for a compounded preparation related to digestive enzyme, bile salt, probiotic, and acid co-factor support. Compounded medications are not reviewed by FDA for safety or effectiveness before dispensing and are prepared by a licensed pharmacist only in response to a valid prescription for an individual patient.
What It Contains and How It Works
- Digestive enzymes: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, proteases, amylases, and lipases are involved in the breakdown of proteins, starches, and fats into absorbable components. A qualified prescriber should determine whether inclusion in a compounded preparation is appropriate for an individual patient.
- Bile salts: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, bile acids play a role in fat emulsification and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Clinical use should be directed by a qualified prescriber.
- Targeted probiotics: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains have been studied for their role in supporting microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract. A qualified prescriber should evaluate whether these strains are appropriate for a given patient.
- Acid co-factors: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, betaine HCl and pepsin are involved in stomach acid–dependent digestive processes; vitamins and minerals may play a role in enzymatic function. Dosing and suitability should be assessed by a qualified prescriber.
Considerations, Safety, and Customization
- Potential benefits: According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, digestive enzyme preparations have been studied for their role in reducing post-meal bloating and supporting nutrient absorption. A qualified prescriber should determine whether this preparation is appropriate.
- Safety considerations: This preparation may not be appropriate for individuals with active pancreatitis, unexplained abdominal pain, bile duct obstruction, or known allergy to any ingredient. It may interact with acid-suppressing medications. Consult a qualified prescriber before use.
- Compounded customization: Compounding allows a licensed pharmacist to adjust dose, form (capsule or powder), and ingredient selection based on an individual patient's symptoms and laboratory findings, as directed by a qualified prescriber.
