Doctors Call The Reason Why Gen Z Is Easily Attacked By Lambung Acid During The Fasting Month

In this program, the Promag cooperates with the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI).

JAKARTA - Fasting is basically very good for stomach health and people with ulcers, if carried out properly.

But unfortunately, almost 60 percent of Indonesians break their fast with stomach-friendly foods, such as fried foods, saturates, fatty, sour, and spicy, so as to increase the work of the stomach.

Head of Category Digestive & Skin Kalbe Consumer Health, Revi Octaria said, Kalbe through the Promag brand as a Lambung Expert, is committed to reducing the number of maag diseases, especially in the month of Ramadan.

Moreover, the lifestyle of the younger generation (Gen Z) is currently more prone to suffering from ulcers and tends to ignore it.

Therefore, Promag plays a role in educating the importance of eating stomach-friendly foods and drinks. This is especially during fasting, so that good intentions in the month of Ramadan continue to run well.

"Promag itself is a market leader in the category of disease medicine, which has been present in Indonesia for more than 50 years and is trusted from generation to generation," said Revi Octaria as quoted by VOI from a media broadcast, Tuesday, March 18.

Knowing this, the Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI), dr. Ulul Albab, Sp.OG recommends food that can help maintain the stomach during fasting.

"Maintaining the comfort of the stomach is very important when fasting. Choose low-fat foods, eat fresh foods, and avoid drinks that contain soda or caffeine when the stomach is empty," he explained.

The pharmaceutical company PT Kalbe Farma Tbk (Kalbe) through its subsidiaries, Kalbe Consumer Health, and the brand of Promag, held the #Open JalanKEbaikan Bareng Promag throughout the month of Ramadan 2025.

This program is in the form of giving takjil donations worth 1.5 billion rupiahs throughout Indonesia, so that people can enjoy stomach-friendly takjil.
