QUROZYME TAB 10

About

Qurozyme is a digestive enzyme supplement, typically formulated with a blend of key enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease. These enzymes are essential for the proper breakdown of complex carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively, into smaller, absorbable molecules within the gastrointestinal tract. This supplement is primarily indicated for individuals experiencing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) or other conditions that lead to maldigestion, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or after certain gastrointestinal surgeries. By providing exogenous enzymes, Qurozyme helps to compensate for the body's insufficient natural enzyme production, thereby improving nutrient absorption, reducing digestive discomfort, and alleviating symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and steatorrhea (fatty stools) that result from inadequate digestion. The formulation is designed to ensure optimal enzyme activity across the varying pH levels encountered throughout the digestive process.

Uses

• Treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
• Management of maldigestion symptoms.
• Support for nutrient absorption in cystic fibrosis.
