PANZYMAX 25000 10 S

About

PANZYMAX 25000 is a potent pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy designed to aid digestion in individuals with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). EPI occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, and protease) to break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins effectively. This leads to maldigestion, malabsorption, and symptoms such as steatorrhea (fatty stools), abdominal pain, bloating, and weight loss. PANZYMAX 25000 provides a concentrated dose of these essential enzymes, derived from porcine pancreatic extracts, to supplement the body's natural production. By taking this medication with meals, patients can significantly improve their ability to digest food, absorb nutrients, and alleviate the debilitating symptoms associated with pancreatic enzyme deficiency, thereby improving their nutritional status and quality of life.

• Treating exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)
