What is pancreatic enzyme

Pancreatic enzymes are medicines that help the intestines to break down and absorb food and facilitate the digestion of food. Pancreatic enzymes contain a large number of active enzymes related to the pancreas, such as amylase, protease and lipase. When the pancreas does not work properly and the amount of active enzymes in the body decreases, the food in the gastrointestinal tract cannot be decomposed and digested, and food accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract will reduce food intake, and long-term indigestion will lead to poor nutrition, gradual wasting and lower immunity, resulting in various diseases. It needs to be taken with warm water before meals, and pregnant women need to take it only under the guidance of a physician, and it is prohibited for patients in the early stages of pancreatitis. Avoid foods that are not easily digestible and irritating to the stomach and intestines, such as large fish, meat, hot pot, cold drinks, etc., during the period of taking the medicine.
