This medication is used to treat digestive enzyme insufficiency, malabsorption conditions, pancreatic disorders, and symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, and indigestion associated with enzyme deficiency. It may also be prescribed following pancreatic surgery or for chronic pancreatitis patients.
Pancreatin provides lipase, protease, and amylase enzymes to break down fats, proteins, and starches. Bile salts help emulsify dietary fats for easier digestion and absorption. Activated charcoal acts as an adsorbent to reduce intestinal gas and bind certain toxins in the GI tract.
Should be taken with meals. Activated charcoal may reduce absorption of other medications - separate doses by at least 2 hours. Do not take for acute abdominal pain without medical supervision. Patients with bile duct obstruction should avoid bile salt-containing products. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve enzyme activity.
