Digestion & bowel function

Reflux, constipation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea concern different digestive functions. Gastric secretion, intestinal movement, water exchange and the nerve signals involved in vomiting do not share one mechanism. Antacids, laxatives, antiemetics and antidiarrhoeals consequently have distinct targets and formulations. Powders, liquids, chewable tablets and gastro-resistant forms help explain those differences beyond the broad expression digestive comfort and the nutritional products sometimes associated with the same setting. Anatomy provides a connection while each medicine retains its particular pharmaceutical function.

Reflux & acidity

Medicines for reflux and acidity belong to several classes addressing different processes. Acidity is a property of gastric contents, whereas reflux describes their movement back towards the oesophagus. This distinction explains terms such as antacid, alginate and proton pump inhibitor. The professional category brings together references in this digestive field, with particular attention to composition, formulation and the difference between a local effect on stomach contents and a reduction in the secretion of gastric acid.

Constipation

The Constipation category brings together laxative medicines and presentations assigned to this bowel-function disorder. Constipation may involve stool frequency, consistency or difficulty passing stools, which are distinct dimensions. Families differ through action and pharmaceutical form, with oral and rectal preparations using different designs. It helps explain terminology used in pharmacy without confusing a laxative medicine with a dietary fibre product or a preparation intended for another digestive procedure, even where similar words appear in their descriptions.

Nausea & vomiting

Medicines for nausea and vomiting comprise several antiemetic families. Nausea is a sensation, whereas vomiting is a motor process; they often occur together but have different possible causes. This professional section presents the antiemetic field, including ATC class A04, through differences in mechanism, clinical context and pharmaceutical form. It preserves the distinction between a specific authorised indication and the broader observation that a substance has antiemetic properties, rather than treating all digestive symptoms as one interchangeable category.

Diarrhoea

This category brings together medicines assigned to diarrhoeal disorders, including antipropulsives and other antidiarrhoeals within the reference scope. Diarrhoea describes a change in stools rather than, by itself, a cause, duration or effect on hydration. Professional interpretation therefore distinguishes a medicine’s mechanism, authorised context and formulation. Rehydration solutions and nutritional products retain their own place in the catalogue, allowing pharmacy teams to understand related digestive roles without describing every product concerned as the same type of medicinal treatment.
