I have not used this product personally.
As you may know, it's made from enzymes derived from parts of the papaya & pineapple plants. These have a proteolytic effect, meaning that they may be effective in breaking down mucus. This effect is also thought to have an anti-inflammatory action in certain instances. For example, papaya enzyme is sometimes recommended to combat the allergic response to the protein complexes injected during some marine strings
It is recommend that the product be started the day before diving, and 3 days before diving if there is a history of equalization difficulty.

I don't believe I have seen this before. Are there any potential side effects? I have a history of ear problems with diving and my docotor has given me a few things to use before diving including decongestant and...I can't remember the name but it was a nasal spray. I haven't been diving since so I am not sure how well it will work and I am willing to try just about anything. I guess the sinus problems are just part of living in the Midwest though.

Not familiar with the product...I too have some ear issues at times-can you elaborate on the product? Is it a spray or drops?
I would be willing to try it!

It comes in tablet form, and these are slowly dissolved in the mouth, not simply swollowed.
Used as directed, side effects have not been an issue.
