As indicated by the summary of product characteristics, these are: disorders of the exocrine function of the pancreas, as well as conditions after removal of the pancreas or stomach; That is, situations when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes needed to digest the assimilated food. This medicine contains pancreatin, a mixture of pancreatic enzymes obtained from pork pancreas. This mixture consists of enzymes with lipase, amylase and protease activity, which enable the digestion of fats, sugars (mainly starch) and proteins contained in the food consumed. If you have not been diagnosed with these ailments, there is no need to use this preparation.
