MEZYM FORTE 20000V, 20 GASTRO-RESISTANT TABLETS

Ingredients: PANCREATIN

This medicine contains the active ingredient pancreatin which consists of digestive enzymes of the pancreas (pancreatic enzymes – pancreatin). This replacement for digestive enzymes is prescribed for the treatment of digestive disorders (maldigestion) caused by inadequate or reduced supply of digestive enzymes by the pancreas or reduced influence of digestive enzymes in the intestines.

Pancreatin contains amylase, lipase, and protease.
PANCREATIN is a combination of digestive enzymes (proteins). These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars. Pancreatin is also known as pancreatic acid.
Pancreatin is used to replace digestive enzymes when the pancreas does not produce enough on its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, pancreatic cancer, or pancreas surgery.
Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that is used to supplement loss of or low levels of digestive enzymes, and is often used in people with cystic fibrosis. It has been claimed to help with food allergies, celiac disease, autoimmune disease, cancer, and weight loss. Pancreatin may also be used to treat a condition called steatorrhea (loose, fatty stools) and helps to digest fat food. Pancreatin is an effective enzyme supplement for replacing missing pancreatic enzymes used in a number of essential body processes. Pancreatin enzymes are primarily helpful in digestion of foods and routine cancer eradication.
