This medication is used to treat digestive enzyme deficiencies, pancreatic insufficiency, and general digestive problems including bloating, gas, and indigestion after meals. It may also be used in conditions such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis-related pancreatic insufficiency, or post-surgical digestive issues.
The three enzymes work together to break down food components: amylase breaks down carbohydrates and starches into sugars, papain (a plant-based protease) and protease break down proteins into amino acids, facilitating nutrient absorption in the intestines.
Should be taken with meals and swallowed whole without crushing or chewing. Patients with pork allergies should exercise caution as some enzyme products are pork-derived. Side effects may include nausea, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea. Always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
