Doctor’s Review – Dr. Nadia Hasan, Consultant Gastroenterologist:
Gastrocure-V is a supportive herbal option for acidity, bloating, and indigestion. Ingredients like liquorice, peppermint, and ginger help soothe the gastric lining and reduce spasms. It can be useful in mild cases, but persistent or severe symptoms require proper evaluation to exclude ulcers or structural disease. With correct dosage and guidance, it is generally safe and well tolerated.
