Pancreatin 25IU pills, 60pcs – Biosintez

Composition

Active ingredients:  

pancreatin 25 U (100 mg).

Pharmacological action

Enzyme agent.

Contains pancreatic enzymes-amylase, lipase and proteases, which facilitate the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which contributes to their more complete absorption in the small intestine.

In diseases of the pancreas, it compensates for the insufficiency of its external secretory function and improves the digestive process.

Indications

Insufficiency of external secretory function of the pancreas (chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, etc. ).

Chronic inflammatory and dystrophic diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, and gallbladder; conditions after resection or irradiation of these organs, accompanied by impaired digestion, flatulence, and diarrhea (as part of combination therapy).

To improve food digestion in patients with normal gastrointestinal function in cases of nutritional errors.

Preparation for X-ray and ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, acute pancreatitis, exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis.

Side effects

From the digestive system:  in some cases-diarrhea, constipation, a feeling of discomfort in the stomach, nausea. A causal relationship between the development of these reactions and the action of pancreatin has not been established, since these phenomena relate to symptoms of external secretory pancreatic insufficiency.

Allergic reactions:  in some cases – skin manifestations.

From the side of metabolism:  with prolonged use in high doses, hyperuricosuria may develop, and in excessively high doses-an increase in the level of uric acid in blood plasma.

Other services:  when using pancreatin in high doses in children, perianal irritation may occur.

Interaction

When used concomitantly with antacids containing calcium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide, the effectiveness of pancreatin may decrease.

With simultaneous use, it is theoretically possible to reduce the clinical effectiveness of acarbose.

With simultaneous use of iron preparations, iron absorption may decrease.

How to take, course of use and dosage

The dose (in terms of lipase) depends on the age and degree of pancreatic insufficiency. The average adult dose is 150,000 U/day. With complete insufficiency of the external secretory function of the pancreas-400,000 units/day, which corresponds to the daily need of an adult for lipase.

The maximum daily dose is 15,000 units/kg.

Children under 1.5 years of age – 50,000 units/day; older than 1.5 years-100,000 units/day.

The duration of treatment can vary from several days (if the digestive process is disrupted due to errors in the diet) to several months or even years (if permanent replacement therapy is required).
