About Panstal Forte Capsule

Panstal Forte 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. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs in people whose bodies do not make enough of their enzymes.

Panstal Forte Capsule contains Pancreatin, which is a combination of digestive enzymes such as porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases. These enzymes help in the digestion of food. Panstal Forte Capsule mixes thoroughly with the food and helps in digestion as it passes through the gut.

You are advised to take Panstal Forte Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Panstal Forte Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Panstal Forte Capsule if you have gout, asthma, or any other medical condition. Consult your doctor before taking Panstal Forte Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Panstal Forte Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. It is unknown whether alcohol interacts with Panstal Forte Capsule ; please consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding this. Panstal Forte Capsule can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor; the dose depends upon the child’s age and body weight.

  • Maintain a balanced diet that includes proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. 
  • Stay hydrated by drinking enough water, as it helps the digestive system function smoothly.
  • Avoid highly processed foods that contain trans-fat, hydrogenated fats, and saturated fats. Instead, include foods containing monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids. Include olive oil, peanut oil, seeds, nuts, salmon, and tuna fish as they contain healthy fats.
