Panlipase UC Tablet is a digestive enzyme supplement used to manage exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to digest food properly. It aids in the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, improving nutrient absorption. This medicine falls under the category of digestive enzyme supplements.
In addition to managing pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, it is also beneficial for conditions such as maldigestion and malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, post pancreatectomy (or after the surgical removal of the pancreas), post-gastrointestinal bypass surgery, and ductal obstruction due to tumour growth. As a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), it assists in the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Before starting this medicine, it is important you consult your doctor who will guide you on the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your body weight, symptoms, and diet. Make sure to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications that you are taking.
