Panlipase 150 Capsule 15's is a pancreatic enzyme supplement indicated for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (pancreatin enzyme deficiency) due to cystic fibrosis (an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system), chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or other conditions. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs in people whose bodies do not make enough of their own enzymes.

Panlipase 150 Capsule 15's contains Pancreatin, which is a combination of digestive enzymes such as porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases. These enzymes help in the digestion of food. Panlipase 150 Capsule 15's mixes thoroughly with the food and helps in digestion as it passes through the gut.

You are advised to take Panlipase 150 Capsule 15's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Panlipase 150 Capsule 15's may cause certain common side-effects such as nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency: Pancreas play an important role in the digestion of food. It produces enzymes which help in the breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs in people whose bodies do not make enough of their own enzymes. This leads to the inability of proper food digestion due to the pancreas' lack of a digestive enzyme. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency could occur due to various conditions such as cystic fibrosis (an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), diabetes, celiac disease (inability to digest gluten), pancreatic cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, Zollinger-Ellison disease, pancreatic or stomach surgery. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, flatulence, weight loss, and steatorrhea (loose, fatty, smelly stools).
