Pankriodax Tablet is a pancreatic enzyme supplement indicated for the treatment of pancreatin enzyme deficiency due to cystic fibrosis (an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system), chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or other conditions.

Pankriodax Tablet contains Pancreatin, which is a combination of digestive enzymes such as porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases. These enzymes help in the digestion of food. Pankriodax Tablet mixes thoroughly with the food and helps in digestion as it passes through the gut.

In some cases, Pankriodax Tablet may cause side effects such as nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist.

Inform your doctor if you have gout, asthma, or any other medical condition. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pankriodax Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines or have pre-existing medical conditions.

Pankriodax Tablet is used in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (pancreatin enzyme deficiency). The detailed uses of Pankriodax Tablet are as follows:

• Treatment of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: Pankriodax Tablet compensates for the deficiency of digestive enzymes and supports digestion in conditions such as chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), cystic fibrosis (a genetic disorder that affects the lungs), and pancreatic cancer.
• Treatment of Steatorrhea (Fatty Stools): Pankriodax Tablet helps break down fats, reducing fat content in stools and preventing malnutrition.
• Support after Gastrointestinal Surgery: Pankriodax Tablet may be used to assist digestion when the flow or production of digestive enzymes is impaired after procedures like pancreatectomy (surgical removal of the pancreas) and gastric bypass (a weight-loss surgery that reduces stomach size).

• Pankriodax Tablet should be taken immediately after a meal or snack.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Swallow Pankriodax Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• You may also open the capsules and mix the granules (do not crush them) with soft foods like yoghurt or applesauce, or with an acidic liquid such as apple, pineapple, or orange juice. Consume the mixture immediately.
• Do not crush or chew this medication.
