Festal N Tablet is a pancreatic enzyme supplement indicated for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (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. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs in people whose bodies do not make enough of their enzymes.

Festal N 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. Festal N Tablet mixes thoroughly with the food and helps in digestion as it passes through the gut.
