Pancreatin

Pancreatin is a combination of enzymes naturally produced by the pancreas. These enzymes include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase (breaks down fats), and protease (breaks down proteins).Specific formulations may contain varying amounts of these enzymes and may include other inactive ingredients like fillers and coatings.

Treatment of pancreatic insufficiency (the pancreas doesn't produce enough enzymes to digest food properly)

Symptoms of cystic fibrosis, which often involves pancreatic insufficiency

Improving digestion of food in patients with other conditions affecting digestion

Assisting in the digestion of highfat meals

Panzynorm Hs Tab (Pancreatin) supplements the body's natural enzyme production. By supplying amylase, lipase, and protease, it aids in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the digestive tract, improving nutrient absorption and reducing symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea associated with enzyme deficiency.
