[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has reduced physical activity, making indigestion symptoms more likely to occur, Dong-A Pharmaceutical's digestive medicine 'Benachio' is gaining attention.


Benachio is an over-the-counter medicine that helps relieve indigestion. Since its release in 2009, this product has been consistently loved, and in 2016, its annual sales surpassed 10 million bottles, establishing it as a leader in the liquid digestive medicine market.


It improves indigestion symptoms such as overeating, indigestion, upper abdominal bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, it contains no carbonation, minimizing the burden on the stomach.


In animal experiments conducted in 2008, Benachio demonstrated superior effects compared to existing liquid digestive medicines, including improved gastric emptying ability (moving food from the stomach to the small intestine, alleviating symptoms like bloating and indigestion), improved gastric accommodation (the stomach's ability to accept food easily, improving symptoms like early satiety), and promotion of bile secretion (increasing digestive fluid secretion from the gallbladder to aid in flour digestion).



The main ingredients are various herbal extracts such as Changchul, Cinnamomum cassia, Ginger, Chenpi, Fennel, Corydalis, and Licorice. It is taken three times a day after meals and is available for purchase at pharmacies.
