Enzygut Forte, Pancreatin/ Bile Constituents/ Simethicone

Pancreatin is used in the treatment of decreased or no enzyme secretion in the body pancreas, or pancreatitis

Pancreatin works by replacing the enzymes which normally come from the pancreas, and will help the body digest fats, starch and protein. The pancreas normally makes digestive juices which contain enzymes. These enzymes are greatly reduced in people with cystic fibrosis, pancreatic problems, or in people who have had their pancreas removed. This can result in food not being digested or absorbed properly - in particular, fatty foods and fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K). Therefore Pancreatin works by replacing these much needed enzymes and helps with digestion

Patients who take Pancreatin may suffer from such side effects;

Stomach pain,
Abdominal bloating,
Flatulence,
