Description

Pancreatin is a mixture of enzymes that is made by the pancreas. It contains amylase, lipase, and proteases. Pancreatin is used as a digestive aid to people who cannot produce enough pancreatic enzymes due to cystic fibrosis or pancreatectomy. Pancreatin also aids in the digestion of proteins. Pancreatin is usually taken orally with water, but can also be mixed with food. Pancreatin has minimal toxicity and physiological levels are maintained by the body's feedback mechanisms. The activity index for pancreatin varies depending on the enzyme studied, but ranges from 0-4.
