Hectic lifestyles, coupled with unbalanced diets, take a toll on gastrointestinal health and if left unchecked, could lead to stomach problems.
Aiming to improve the quality of life of those affected, and looking to provide better access to safe and effective medication, Hong Kong’s Kin Fung Weisen-U created Weisen-U, an over-the-counter (OTC) drug developed to address gastrointestinal and stomach issues.
Weisen-U has almost 60 years of history. First developed in the 1960s, Weisen-U relieves discomfort caused by indigestion, heartburn, lack of appetite, hyperacidity, and more. Formulated as a unique dual-layer tablet, Weisen-U’s outer antacid core neutralises excessive gastric acid. Its inner layer reacts and facilitates the rapid healing of damaged parts of the stomach.
“From the 1960s to 1980s, Weisen-U became the trusted OTC gastrointestinal drug in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and mainland China. By the 1990s, Chinese communities in Australia, Canada, the United States and Europe made Weisen-U a household name,” said director Joseph Lun.
