Pharmacological properties
pancreatin is a complex of pancreatic enzymes that take part in the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the digestive tract. It is used for replacement therapy in case of deficiency of the exocrine function of the pancreas. The acid-fast coating of tablets protects enzymes from their inactivation by gastric juice. Only under the influence of neutral or slightly alkaline medium of the small intestine dissolution of the membrane and release of enzymes occurs. Digestive enzymes that are part of pancreatin are not absorbed, but act only in the lumen of the intestine.
Indications for use
