Action for hemorrhoids and heartburn
Heartburn can appear both in pathological conditions in the stomach and in a healthy person. It largely depends on what kind of food a person takes. Heartburn can be affected by alcohol intake, stress, and excess weight.

But for hemorrhoids, Iberogast is indicated only during a course of treatment with other drugs. Thanks to taking Iberogast, the patient can regulate his bowel movements, that is, eliminate dangerous constipation, which in turn aggravates the course of hemorrhoids. A doctor will help you choose a course of treatment.
