Used to treat pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery recovery, and other conditions causing maldigestion and malabsorption of nutrients.
The enzyme combination works in the stomach and small intestine—amylase breaks down carbohydrates, lipase digests fats, and protease processes proteins—replacing or supplementing insufficient natural enzymes to improve food digestion and nutrient absorption.
Typically taken with meals; dosage is individualized based on condition and severity. Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. Tablets should not be crushed or chewed. Inform your doctor about all medications, as enzyme supplements may interact with certain drugs and acid-reducing medications.
