About Pancretol Tablet 10's

Pancretol Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medicine called 'digestive enzymes' or 'pancreatic enzyme supplement' prescribed to treat indigestion and bloating due to pancreas problems. Pancretol Tablet 10's is prescribed for people whose bodies do not make enough of their own enzymes to digest their food. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is the inability to digest food properly due to the pancreas' lack of a digestive enzyme. 

Pancretol Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Pancreatin (digestive enzyme) and Dimethicone (anti-flatulent). Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that helps in the digestion of food. Pancreatin contains ‘pancreatin enzymes’ that break down food and convert it into energy. On the other hand, Dimethicone works by decreasing the surface tension of gas bubbles, thereby facilitating the expulsion of gas through flatus or belching (burping). It also prevents the accumulation and formation of gas in the digestive tract.

Take Pancretol Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Pancretol Tablet 10's as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience nausea, stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and bloating. Most of these side effects of Pancretol Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor before taking Pancretol Tablet 10's if you have gout, asthma, cystic fibrosis (a disease that affects the lungs and digestive system), or any disease condition. Please also inform the doctor if you have a history of rapid onset of pancreatitis or worsening of long-term difficulty with your pancreas. Pancretol Tablet 10's might interfere with the absorption of folic acid and iron; maintain a minimum gap between both. Consult your doctor before taking Pancretol Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pancretol Tablet 10's may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Pancretol Tablet 10's can be given to children if prescribed by the doctor; the dose depends upon the child’s age and body weight.
