What is Pancreaze ?

Pancreaze is an orally administered pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy used for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis or other conditions. It contains a mixture of digestive enzymes, including lipases, proteases, and amylases, which aid in the digestion and absorption of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Pancreaze is designed to mimic the enzymatic activity of a normally functioning pancreas, helping to improve nutrient uptake and manage associated symptoms.
