PANCREATIN

Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) that are naturally produced by the pancreas. It is used as a supplement to improve digestion and treat conditions such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, and other digestive disorders. Pancreatin is available in tablet or capsule form and is taken orally to help the body break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food.

Pancreatin medicine is an enzyme-replacement therapy used to treat digestive disorders caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. It works by replacing the natural enzymes needed for proper digestion, reducing abdominal pain and bloating associated with digestive disorders. It is important to consult your doctor regarding dosage and potential side effects.
