How to treat digestive disorders with over-the-counter medicines?
In most cases, digestive disorders are benign and self-limiting.
In France - which is not the case in all countries - poor digestion is traditionally attributed to liver or biliary problems (the traditional " liver crisis "), although there are no clinical studies to confirm this hypothesis. Bloating, nausea, gas, constipation, diarrhea... these are all symptoms of poor digestion, or what is medically known as dyspepsia.
However, some symptoms can be uncomfortable and require appropriate treatment to improve digestive well-being. Drugs available from pharmacies can effectively relieve disorders such as constipation, bloating, nausea, heartburn and diarrhea.
Medication treatments aim to soothe symptoms and restore optimal digestive comfort. They include laxatives, antispasmodics, antacids and antidiarrheals, depending on the specific needs of each patient.
Discover over-the-counter medicines to soothe everyday digestive ailments: difficult digestion, stomach aches, nausea and vomiting, heartburn and acidity, constipation, diarrhea, bloating and flatulence.

Your pharmacist's advice on taking good care of your digestive system
- However, there is no miracle cure for good digestion. Our body is like a car: just as it needs the right fuel, maintenance and an oil change to run and last over time, our body needs a good diet, a healthy lifestyle and a detox phase to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
