Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes (proteins) that are normally produced by the pancreas. These enzymes play a crucial role in digesting fats, proteins, and sugars. Pancreatin is used to replace digestive enzymes when the body does not produce enough of its own. Certain medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or previous pancreas surgery, can lead to a deficiency of these enzymes. Additionally, pancreatin may be used to treat a condition called steatorrhea (loose, fatty stools). It’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and usage.
