The main active ingredient of Pangrol – Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme. The drug has lipolytic, proteolytic and amiloliticescoy action, whereas deficiency of pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatin involved in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The activity of Pangrol is mainly determined by the activity of its constituent enzymes (lipase, trypsin, amylase, and chymotrypsin). The lipase activity and content of trypsin and starch-splitting activity is relevant only in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Pancreatic enzymes to normalize digestion and improve the functional condition of the digestive system. Trypsin has the ability to suppress the stimulated secretory activity of the pancreas and to provide analgesic effect. Capsule or tablet, as acid, prevents the enzymes from the action of hydrochloric acid in the period when they pass through the stomach. In the small intestine, the shell dissolves, releasing enzymes. The maximum activity of enzymes of Pangrol appears after 40-45 minutes after ingestion.

Indications for use:

Pangrol is prescribed for replacement therapy in various origins exocrine pancreatic insufficiency: chronic pancreatitis, dyspepsia, pankreatectomia, the state after irradiation, cystic fibrosis, diarrhea noninfectious origin flatulence. Pangrol is used for the correction of disorders of digestion (after resection of the small intestine and stomach), for improving the absorption of indigestible fatty, unusual or vegetable food, sedentary way of life, disorders of the functions of the masticatory apparatus, with prolonged immobilization. Pangrol is assigned when gastrocardiac syndrome (syndrome so on), as well as in preparation for carrying out x-ray and other studies of the abdominal cavity for degassing of the intestine.

Method of application:

Tablets or capsules of Pangrol should not be chewed. It is recommended to drink 1 Cup of water or juice. If necessary, the capsule containing mini-tablets may be opened and contents dissolved in liquids.

Pangrol is dosed individually, in accordance with the severity of digestive disorders. Typically, the drug is given before meals for 1-2 caps. (Pangrol 20 000 or 25 000) or 2-4 caps. (Pangrol 10 000). Increasing the dosage of Pangrol is possible only on prescription, depending on the severity of the digestive disorders. The maximum daily dosage of enzymes for children over 12 and adults is 1 kg of body weight 15 000-20 000 U of lipase, in the case of complete exocrine insufficiency – 400 000 IU per day. Dosing of Pangrol and duration of therapy in children from 3 to 12 years old must be a doctor. Generally, per 1 kg of weight of the child is assigned to no more than 1500 IU of lipase. Daily dose for children 1 to 5 years – 50 thousand UNITS, after 1, 5 years – 100 thousand UNITS.

Side effects:

When taking Pangrol may cause allergic reactions of immediate type, is rarely observed disorder of the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, epigastric discomfort). In the long admission in high doses may develop hyperuricosuria. When taking high doses of Pangrol with cystic fibrosis, the formation of strictures in the ileocecal Department or in the ascending Department of the colon.

Contraindications:

Pangrol  is contraindicated in acute pancreatitis, acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, in case of individual hypersensitivity.

Pregnancy:

Pangrol during pregnancy can be administered by a physician in cases where the expected therapeutic effect for the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Interaction with other medicinal products:

With simultaneous use of Pangrol , miglitol and acarbose may be a decrease in hypoglycemic action of the latter.
