Aptiplex Tablet 10's

Aptiplex Tablet is used to replace digestive enzymes when the pancreas cannot produce enough of them on its own. It helps improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients in people with conditions that affect pancreatic function, including:

• Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency: Aptiplex Tablet helps replace missing digestive enzymes, allowing your body to properly break down and absorb nutrients from the food you eat.
• Chronic Pancreatitis: It supplements the reduced enzyme production caused by long-term inflammation of the pancreas, preventing malnutrition.
• Cystic Fibrosis: It assists in digesting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates when thick mucus blocks the natural flow of enzymes from the pancreas into the small intestine.
• Post-Pancreas Surgery: It serves as a vital replacement for enzymes when a portion of the pancreas, or the entire organ, has been surgically removed.

By supporting the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, Aptiplex Tablet provides several important digestive and nutritional benefits, including:

• Improves Food Digestion: Helps the body break down nutrients more effectively, supporting normal digestive function.
• Reduces Digestive Discomfort: Helps relieve symptoms such as bloating, excess gas, abdominal discomfort, and indigestion after meals.
• Enhances Nutrient Absorption: Improves the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from food.
• Helps Prevent Weight Loss: Supports proper calorie and nutrient uptake, reducing the risk of unintended weight loss associated with poor digestion.
• Reduces Greasy or Oily Stools: Helps improve fat digestion, decreasing symptoms such as fatty, foul-smelling stools.
• Supports Overall Nutritional Health: By improving nutrient utilisation, it can help reduce fatigue and nutritional deficiencies linked to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency.

• Aptiplex Tablet should be taken immediately after a meal or snack.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Swallow Aptiplex Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• You may also open the capsules and mix the granules (do not crush them) with soft foods like yoghurt or applesauce, or with an acidic liquid such as apple, pineapple, or orange juice. Consume the mixture immediately.
• Do not crush or chew this medication.

• Eat smaller, more frequent meals: Eating five to six small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones can make food easier to digest and reduce stomach strain.
• Manage fat intake: Work closely with a dietitian to ensure you are consuming healthy fats in amounts that your prescribed dose of Aptiplex Tablet can manage.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support healthy digestion and help prevent constipation.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking: Both alcohol and tobacco can irritate your pancreas, worsen your digestive symptoms, and lower the effectiveness of your therapy.

• Never skip food: Always take Aptiplex Tablet with food; taking it without food can cause severe irritation to your stomach lining.
• Do not chew the beads: If you open the capsules to mix them with soft food, swallow the mixture immediately without chewing to prevent mouth irritation.
• Do not switch brands: Different brands of this medication may not work the same way in your body. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before changing products.
• Keep the bottle sealed: These enzymes are highly sensitive to moisture and can lose their strength quickly if the container is left open.
• Watch for severe stomach pain: Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe, persistent stomach pain, as this can be a sign of a rare but serious bowel issue.
