Pancreatin

Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme supplement that contains enzymes naturally found in the pancreas.These enzymes include lipase, protease, and amylase, which help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, respectively.

Pancreatin is used to treat conditions where the pancreas is not producing enough digestive enzymes, such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatic insufficiency.

It is also used to aid digestion in individuals who have had a portion of their pancreas removed or have difficulty digesting certain foods.

Creon 40000mg Cap (Pancreatin) works by supplementing the body's natural digestive enzymes. When taken orally, the enzymes in pancreatin are released into the small intestine, where they help break down food into smaller particles that can be easily absorbed by the body.

Pancreatin should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of pancreatin will vary depending on the individual's condition and the severity of their symptoms.

It is typically taken with meals or snacks, and the capsules or tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Do not crush, chew, or break the capsules or tablets as this may reduce the effectiveness of the medication.

Common side effects of pancreatin include nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and bloating.

More serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, are possible but rare.
