제 동생도 베나치오를 자주 먹더라구요. 소화가 잘 안된다며 식구들의 상비약이래요
If you experience indigestion symptoms, discomfort due to overeating, or symptoms of indigestion caused by eating the wrong food, you purchase and take digestive medicine.
In my case, I often have to do a lot of burping, and during those times, I feel extremely uncomfortable as if my chest is about to burst. The digestive medicine recommended by the pharmacy I frequently visit is Benachio. Before I got married, I used to take a lot of Gasshwalmyungsoo. Now, it's a nostalgic digestive medicine, but I still occasionally take Gasshwalmyungsoo from time to time.
There are various liquid forms of medications, but the most representative liquid digestive medicines are probably Gas-Hwanmyeongsu and Benachio.
Venachio is said to originate from the abbreviation of the phrase "painful stomach, not healed."
It was first released in 2007, and after going through various processes and adapting to modern people, it is said to have been released in 2014 as the current Venachio F-Aque.
Since then, Mr. Lee Kyung-kyu has become well known to the public as a model in advertisements, and now it has established itself as one of the liquid digestive aids that many people carry in their daily lives.
The Benachio effect literally helps with indigestion and is not only for symptoms of poor digestion but also for vomiting, nausea, various discomforts in the stomach after overeating, and bloating.
Since it is a medication that can be administered according to the dosage starting from 1 year old, it is a drug that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can easily and conveniently take, and many people keep it as a household remedy.
The ingredients contained in Venachio include various herbal-based components.
L-Menthol 8mg/20ml
Licorice 167mg/20ml
Health 100mg/20ml
Huihyang 150mg/20ml
Blue cohosh 167mg/20ml
Ginseng extract 230mg/20ml
Broiler chicken 150mg/20ml
Creatine 40mg/20ml
This contains active ingredients based on herbal medicine components. Benacchio exerts pharmacological effects due to these active ingredients, along with menthol, which provides a cool minty flavor. Several active ingredients exhibit pharmacological actions that regulate gastrointestinal digestion and promote digestion.
A single vial of Benaxio contains 75ml.
What are the differences between Gas Hwal Myeong Su and others?
Venachio and Gasshwalmyeongsu are indeed composed of herbal-based ingredients, but they show slightly different components.
Gasshwal-myeongsu is composed of Asenyak, Gochutin-ke, Hyeonhosae, Jampi, Jeonghyang, Yukgye, Geongang, Hubak, Yudugu, and L-Menthol.
The common active ingredients here can be identified as L-menthol, citrus peel, health, cinnamon bark, and Corydalis.
Because it is a medication made with the same herbal ingredients, it is effective in improving indigestion, overeating, bloating, and discomfort after overeating, just like Benacio.
The most obvious difference can be seen in the presence or absence of carbonation.
Benachio does not contain carbon dioxide, but Gas Hwal Myeong Su does contain carbon dioxide.
Therefore, after meals, it is recommended to take Benachio for symptoms like nausea or indigestion, and if you feel bloated or gassy, drinking carbonated mineral water with gas may help improve the condition.
Is it safe for pregnant women to take Benachio?
The ingredient called Hyeonhosuk, which is commonly found in Venachio liquid and Gas Hwalmyeongsu, can be problematic. Since this ingredient can affect pregnant women, it is advisable to avoid taking these medications.
This ingredient is officially mentioned by the Korea Food and Drug Administration as it is known to cause changes in progesterone (female hormone), so caution is advised when taken by pregnant women to prevent potential issues.
Therefore, pregnant women should remember that it is preferable not to take Benacchio or Gas-Hwalmyeongsu, and if indigestion occurs and you need to take digestive medication, you should do so under the guidance of a specialist and take the prescribed digestive medicine.
What are the precautions?
Since the main active ingredient is composed of herbal components, there is no significant risk involved.
However, for those taking other medications, please consult with a doctor or pharmacist before taking this medication, as it may affect the drugs you are already taking. Habitual use is prohibited; it should only be taken when absolutely necessary. During use, avoid consuming stimulating spices or caffeine.
