Indication 

Pancrease MT 10 is indicated for use in cases of inadequate pancreatic enzyme production or release into the small intestine, as seen in conditions like chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, post-pancreatectomy, and post-gastrointestinal bypass surgery. 

Pancrease MT 10 comprises three enzymes: lipase, protease, and amylase. It functions by supplementing the natural pancreatic enzyme production, aiding in the breakdown and digestion of fats, starch, and proteins in food. 

Uses and Dosage 

Prior to initial use and with each prescription refill, carefully read the accompanying patient information leaflet for Pancrease MT 10. If any section is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance. 

The dosage of Pancrease MT 10 may differ per individual based on medical conditions, diet, weight, and treatment response. 

Typically, Pancrease MT 10 is taken along with meals and snacks as prescribed by the doctor. Do not crush, chew, or retain the capsules in your mouth; swallow them whole with a full glass of water. 

If unable to swallow a capsule whole, open it and mix its contents with applesauce. Ingest the mixture promptly without chewing, followed by a glass of water or juice to ensure complete ingestion. Do not store the mixture for future use. 

Do not mix the capsule’s contents with alkaline items like milk, ice cream, or tea. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance on foods or liquids to avoid, including infant formula or breast milk. 

Avoid breathing in the powder from a Pancrease MT 10 capsule or allowing it to come into contact with your skin, as it may cause irritation, particularly to the nose and lungs. 

For optimal results, take Pancrease MT 10 exactly as directed. Do not take more than recommended as it will not improve condition faster but may heighten the risks of side effects. 

Contact your doctor if a long-term pancreatic issue has worsened.
