Onotón: what is it for and how is it taken?

The Onoton is composed of four fundamental elements that allow it to act effectively in different situations:

1. Hemicellulase is an enzyme that is responsible for hydrolyzing a polysaccharide, hemicellulose.
2. The extract of ox bile allows the digestion of fats and, in addition, promotes pancreatic secretion.
3. The simethicone is responsible for breaking the surface tension of the bubbles along the gastrointestinal tract to form belching and flatulence.
4. The pancreatin is formed by three enzymes (lipase, protease, and amylase) responsible digest fats, sugars, and proteins.

Onoton is an easily obtained drug that is used to:

1. Eliminate flatulence.
2. Encourage the easy absorption of food after its previous degradation.
3. Treat conditions related to insufficiency of the pancreas, such as pancreatic fibrosis, where there is a loss of function of the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis is sustained inflammation of the pancreas after pancreatectomy, which removes part or all of the pancreas.
4. Treat chronic gastroenteritis and dyspepsia.
5. Treat esophageal heartburn or heartburn due to the properties of the enzymes.
6. Eliminate gas before taking an abdominal X-ray.

Onoton is available in tablets of 175 mg of pancreatin, 50 mg of hemicellulase, 25 mg of simethicone, and excipients, in boxes of 20, 50, and 100 tablets.

The proper way to administer it will depend exclusively on the condition. However, taking 1 or 2 tablets orally after each meal is recommended.

It is not recommended to chew them, crush them, or keep them in the mouth for a long time. In addition, they should be taken with enough water since they can even irritate the oral mucosa.

This medicine should not be administered with hot food or hot drinks.

In the case of eliminating gases before an abdominal X-ray, the patient will require two tablets before each meal at least 24 hours before the X-ray.

If you forget a dose of Onoton, take it as soon as possible as you remember it but without doubling the dose.

Despite being a relatively safe drug, it is essential to be vigilant if the person has hypersensitivity to any of the elements that make up Onoton.

In addition, it is also contraindicated in patients suffering from acute pancreatitis, in case there is any obstruction in the biliary tract, and in patients who have allergic reactions to pork protein.

People who suffer from clotting problems, liver failure, or kidney failure should take special precautions before indicating and administering this drug. These situations should be discussed with the specialist.

Fortunately, its use is not contraindicated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Despite this, it will depend on the doctor’s judgment to indicate it or not.

Among the possible side effects after the administration of Onoton, we find skin rashes in sensitive patients, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, swelling, itching, stomach pain.

Onoton effectively treats all digestive disorders. Despite its safety, it is most advisable that you go to the specialist after any discomfort or condition, and they will suggest whether or not the use of this drug is recommended.
