Oral use

This medicine is often used to treat individuals with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Approved uses may differ by country. Always refer to the locally approved product information.

This product contains a mixture of digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, and protease) derived from porcine pancreas. It is formulated to help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the digestive tract.
It is typically prescribed for individuals whose pancreas does not produce enough enzymes, which may occur in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or following pancreatic surgery.

This medicine works by providing enzymes that help digest food. These enzymes are released in the small intestine, where they assist in breaking down fats, starches, and proteins so the body can absorb nutrients more effectively.
