Pancrehenz 25000 Strip Of 10 Capsules
Pancrehenz 300 MG Description
Pancrehenz capsule is a prescription medication. It contains digestive or pancreatic enzymes. The main use of Pancrehenz capsules is to treat malabsorption due to the deficiency of pancreatic enzymes
as well as to boost digestion. The enzyme deficiencies happen when the pancreas is unable to make them; they are essential for the breaking down and absorption of food. This capsule contains Pancreatin as its single main ingredient. The mode of action of Pancrehenz capsules is to break down the complex structure of the food and convert it into energy. This medicine is able to digest starch foods, fat, and proteins. It is also used in conditions such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, where people’s bodies cannot make enzymes and digest food. It is also used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, after pancreatic surgery and steatorrhea (fatty stool due to poor fat absorption). Follow your doctor’s directions for using Pancrehenz capsules. Take this medicine during or after food to avoid any stomach irritation. Nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash in some cases are some common side effects of Pancrehenz capsules. Mostly, these side effects do not require medical attention and will subside by themselves. This medicine may lower the absorption of iron and folic acid; hence, be cautious of their levels in the body. Consult your doctor before giving this medicine to children.
