Medicinal Benefits:

Panlipase Capsule is a pancreatic enzyme supplement indicated for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (pancreatin enzyme deficiency) due to cystic fibrosis (an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system), chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or other conditions. Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes such as porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases. These enzymes help in the digestion of food. Panlipase Capsule mixes thoroughly with the food and aids in digestion as it passes through the gut. Panlipase Capsule may also be used to treat steatorrhea (oily, smelly stools due to a lack of fat absorption).

FAQs

Panlipase Capsule is used to treat Pancreatic insufficiency (pancreatin enzyme deficiency).

Panlipase Capsule contains pancreatin enzymes that break down food and convert it into energy. Panlipase Capsule is a combination of amylase (to digest starch), protease (to digest protein), and lipase (to digest fat). Together, it fulfils the digestive enzymes' requirements in conditions such as pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), cystic fibrosis (a genetic disorder that damages the lungs), pancreatic cancer, pancreatectomy (surgical removal of the pancreas), and steatorrhea (loose fatty stool due to poor fat absorption).
