Product Introduction

Pancrehenz 25000 IU capsule contains pancreatin, a high-strength pancreatic enzyme supplement derived from pig pancreas glands. It is used to treat pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, a condition in which the pancreas does not produce sufficient enzymes for food digestion. This medication is indicated for patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, partial or total pancreatectomy (surgical removal of part or all of the pancreas), or pancreatic cancer.
