Pancreatin 300 mg Capsules

Pancreatin 300 mg Capsules: Pancreatin is a supplement to pancreatic enzymes used for the treatment of pancreatin enzyme deficiency caused by cystic fibrosis (a genetic disorder that destroys the lungs and digestive tract), chronic pancreatitis (pancreatitis), or other causes.

Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes including porcine-derived proteases, lipases, and amylases. Pancreatin is used for the digestion of food. Pancreatin is well mixed with food and assists in digestion while passing through the gut.

In a few instances, Pancreatin can have side effects including nausea, small stomach ache, diarrhoea, and small skin rash. These side effects are not serious and will fade over time. Consult your physician if any of the side effects continue. 

Medical Benefits:

• Pancreatin is a pancreatic enzyme supplement that is employed in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a disorder in which the pancreas is unable to produce adequate digestive enzymes.
• It substitutes for deficient digestive enzymes to assist in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from food efficiently.
• Relieves enzyme deficiency due to diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or surgical pancreatectomy.
• Relieves symptoms including bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea resulting from impaired digestion.
• Assists in fat digestion and lowers fatty, smelly stools (steatorrhea), a frequent symptom of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
• Enhances absorption of required nutrients, thus preventing malnutrition and maintaining overall well-being.

Applications:

• Treatment of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: Pancreatin makes up for the lack of digestive enzymes and maintains digestion in diseases like chronic pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation), cystic fibrosis (an inherited disease affecting the lungs), and pancreatic cancer.
• Treatment of Steatorrhea (Fatty Stools): Pancreatin facilitates fat breakdown, lowering fat level in stools and avoiding malnutrition.
• Support following Gastrointestinal Surgery: Pancreatin can be employed to support digestion when flow or output of digestive enzymes is compromised following procedures such as pancreatectomy (surgical excision of the pancreas) and gastric bypass.
