PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE
Product Description
PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE tablet is a digestive enzyme medicine used to improve food digestion in people with pancreatic enzyme deficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic surgery, pancreatic cancer, or poor pancreatic function. It contains PANCREATIN, a combination of lipase, amylase, and protease enzymes that helps break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for better nutrient absorption and reduced digestive discomfort. PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE tablet is commonly prescribed for bloating, oily stools, indigestion, weight loss due to malabsorption, and steatorrhea. It is available in different enzyme strengths based on lipase units, allowing individualized dosing with meals and snacks. The PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE tablet dosage depends on age, body weight, meal size, fat intake, and the severity of pancreatic insufficiency.
Pharmacist Note
Take PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE tablet with every main meal and snack, because the enzymes work only when mixed with food. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not crush or chew, as this may irritate the mouth and reduce effectiveness. If symptoms such as oily stools or bloating continue, your doctor may adjust the PANATIN 25000 CAPSULE tablet dosage.
