This section highlights medicines related to alimentary system, known as digestive system in common language, of the human body, which is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and expelling waste to keep the body in good health. All this is done as the food enters the body through mouth and then progressively passes through esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and other organs that collaborate with each other to aid digestion and nutrient uptake. All these require a healthy alimentary canal for them to have lead a healthy life.
