Pancreatin 150mg Capsules

Product Introduction

Pancreatin 150mg is a pancreatic-enzyme replacement preparation used when the pancreas does not provide enough digestive enzymes. It supports digestion of fat, protein and carbohydrate in established exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

How to use

Take the capsules during or immediately after each meal or snack so the enzymes mix with food. Swallow intact with water, without crushing or chewing. Enzyme doses are matched to the meal and the degree of pancreatic insufficiency rather than the capsule mass alone.

How it works

Lipase, protease and amylase act within the intestine to replace deficient digestive-enzyme activity.

Side effects

Abdominal discomfort, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea may occur; chewing granules can irritate the mouth.

Important information

Tell your doctor about a pork allergy, gout or persistent abdominal pain. Very high enzyme doses, especially in cystic fibrosis, have been associated with fibrosing colonopathy, a serious narrowing of the bowel.
