Pancreatin

Description:
Pancreatin is a complex mixture of digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas, primarily containing amylase, lipase, and proteases. It is derived from the pancreatic tissue of animals, typically pigs or cows, and is used therapeutically to aid digestion in individuals with pancreatic insufficiency or other digestive disorders. The enzymes in pancreatin facilitate the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into smaller molecules that can be easily absorbed by the body. This substance is typically available in powder or tablet form and is administered orally. Pancreatin is characterized by its enzyme activity, which is measured in units such as USP (United States Pharmacopeia) or Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia). It is generally considered safe for use, although potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. As a biological product, pancreatin's composition can vary based on the source and processing methods, making standardization important for consistent therapeutic efficacy.
