What is pancrelipase?

Pancrelipase is a combination of three enzymes (proteins): lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes are produced naturally in the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.

Pancrelipase is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Pancrelipase reduces the pain associated with disorders of the pancreas. Conditions for which pancrelipase may be used include cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, and blockage of the pancreatic ducts. In addition, pancrelipase may be used following removal of the pancreas.

Pancrelipase may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
