Information About Pancreatin

Available as enteric-coated oral minimicrosphere capsules taken with each meal and snack, dosed by lipase units based on fat intake and stool response, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Capsules must not be crushed or chewed as the enteric coating is essential to prevent gastric acid degradation of the enzyme contents before reaching the active absorption site in the duodenum.
