Pancreatin
PANCREATIN
Overview:
Pancreatin is a digestive aid that provides natural enzymes to help break down food. It’s often used when the pancreas isn’t making enough enzymes, making digestion easier and helping the body absorb nutrients better.By supporting digestion, it helps improve nutrient absorption and reduces problems like bloating, indigestion, or fatty stools, making daily eating and digestion more comfortable.
Classification: Digestive Enzyme
Uses:
Pancreatin is used to help people who have trouble digesting food because their pancreas doesn’t make enough enzymes. It makes it easier for the body to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, improving digestion and nutrient absorption.
How it works:
Pancreatin works by giving the body extra digestive enzymes—lipase, amylase, and protease—that the pancreas usually makes. They break food down into smaller, usable parts, allowing the body to absorb vitamins and nutrients better and maintain healthy digestion.
Dosage:
As prescribed by your doctor.
Side Effects:
- Stomach pain or discomfort
- Bloating or gas
- Nausea
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Mild irritation in the mouth
Precautions:
As you use Pancreatin, you should ensure that you listen to your physician carefully and strictly adhere to the instructions of this medicine. Never break, cut, or crush the tablets, or chew them because this may cause the mouth to get irritated. Individuals having gout, and high uric acid, or some bowel or stomach problems should be particularly careful, since on certain occasions Pancreatin can aggravate the problems. Additionally, tell your physician about any other medications you are using, which can keep the treatment process a little bit safe and successful.
