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.
Do not use Pancrehenz 25000 IU capsule if you are allergic to pancreatin, pork, pig-derived products, or any ingredient in this formulation. Inform your doctor if you experience any unusual abdominal symptoms or changes in existing abdominal symptoms. Notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or suspect you may be pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Disclose your complete medical history to your doctor before use.
