Indicated for: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency; digestive disorders
Route of administration: oral
Substance: pancreatin + trypsin + chymotrypsin + bromelain + papain + amylase + lipase + rutoside (digestive enzymes + flavonoid vasoprotector)
ATC: M09AB52 (Musculo-skeletal system | Other drugs for disorders of the musculo-skeletal system | Enzymes)
The combination of pancreatin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, bromelain, papain, amylase, lipase, and rutin is used to support digestion and reduce inflammation in various conditions. This combination contains digestive enzymes and substances with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it suitable for digestive disorders and some inflammatory conditions.
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 used in cases of pancreatic insufficiency, such as chronic pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis.
Trypsin and chymotrypsin are proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and are used to reduce swelling and inflammation associated with trauma or surgery.
Bromelain and papain are plant-based enzymes derived from pineapple and papaya, respectively, that aid in protein digestion and have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. They are useful in reducing inflammation and pain in conditions such as arthritis or muscle injuries.
Amylase and lipase are enzymes that break down carbohydrates and fats, supporting digestion and preventing symptoms such as bloating or abdominal discomfort. These are essential for patients with enzyme deficiencies.
Rutin is a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps protect blood vessels, reducing capillary fragility and inflammation, and is useful in venous disorders or edema.
This combination is administered in the form of tablets or capsules, usually before meals, to support digestion and reduce inflammation. Side effects are rare but may include nausea, diarrhea, or allergic reactions. It is important for patients to follow their doctor’s instructions and avoid long-term use without medical supervision.
