PANZCEBIL 200mg / 25mg / 5mg gastro-resistant sugar-coated tablets medication leaflet

A09AN02 • pancreatin + bovine bile + hemicellulase • Alimentary tract and metabolism | Digestives, incl. enzymes

The combination of pancreatin, bovine bile, and hemicellulase is used to support digestion and treat digestive disorders associated with enzymatic or bile insufficiency. It is particularly indicated for patients who have difficulty digesting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as those experiencing abdominal discomfort, bloating, or indigestion.

Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) that helps break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, facilitating digestion and nutrient absorption. It is commonly used in cases of pancreatic insufficiency, such as chronic pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis.

Bovine bile contains bile salts that aid in emulsifying fats, making them easier to digest and absorb in the intestine. It is useful in cases of bile insufficiency, such as after gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) or in biliary dysfunction.

Hemicellulase is an enzyme that breaks down hemicellulose, a component of plant fibers, into simpler sugars. It helps improve the digestion of fiber-rich foods and reduces bloating and abdominal discomfort caused by excessive fermentation of fibers.

This combination is administered in the form of tablets or capsules, usually during or immediately after meals, to support digestion. The exact dosage is determined by the doctor, depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient’s needs.

Side effects are rare and include nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. In very rare cases, allergic reactions to any of the components may occur. It is important for patients to follow their doctor’s instructions and avoid long-term use without medical supervision.
