PANKREOFLAT

Pankreoflat belongs to the group of medicines known as pancreatic enzymes and their combinations. It is specifically formulated to help when certain digestive discomforts are linked to insufficient production of pancreatic enzymes and are accompanied by gas, a feeling of bloating or heaviness.

Each film-coated tablet contains 172 mg of pancreatin and 80 mg of dimethicone. Pancreatin provides amylase, lipase and protease activity – enzymes involved in the digestion of the main nutrients in food.

The main feature of Pankreoflat is that it combines two complementary mechanisms in a single medicine. On the one hand, pancreatic enzymes aid the digestion and absorption of nutrients when there is an enzyme deficiency. On the other hand, dimethicone helps to break down gas bubbles accumulated in the digestive tract, promoting their elimination.

This combination allows symptoms such as slow digestion, flatulence, aerophagia and a heavy feeling in the stomach to be addressed together when they are related to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency.

At Farmaciasdirect you can find Pankreoflat 172 mg/80 mg, 50 coated tablets. Each tablet contains pancreatin equivalent to 6,000 units of amylase, 6,000 units of lipase and 400 units of protease, as well as 80 mg of dimethicone.

The tablets should be swallowed whole, without chewing, with sufficient water, and during or after main meals.

Pancreatin: a mixture of porcine pancreatic enzymes including lipase, amylase and protease. These enzymes are involved, respectively, in the digestion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, helping to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.

Dimethicone: an anti-foaming agent that alters the surface tension of gas bubbles, encouraging them to coalesce and be eliminated. In this way, it helps to relieve the discomfort caused by excess gas.

Pankreoflat is indicated for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age who experience digestive disturbances involving aerophagia or flatulence, such as a heavy feeling in the stomach and slow digestion associated with pancreatic enzyme insufficiency.

It must not be used in cases of acute pancreatitis or by people who are allergic to porcine pancreatin, dimethicone, milk proteins or any of its other ingredients. The medicine contains lactose, so the specific warnings in the patient information leaflet must also be taken into account.

For adults and adolescents over 12 years of age, the usual dose is 1 or 2 tablets with each main meal. They should be swallowed whole with water during or after meals. Do not exceed the dosage stated in the package leaflet and consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist after 10 days. Eating balanced meals, eating slowly and avoiding overeating can help reduce some digestive discomfort.

When considering reviews of Pankreoflat, it is worth bearing in mind that the response may vary depending on the cause of the digestive discomfort.
