Uses / Indications:
Used to treat and manage:
Bloating and indigestion
A lack of pancreatic enzymes (for example, in chronic pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis)
Gas (flatulence)
Feeling heavy or stuffed after eating
Steatorrhea (fatty stool) because the body doesn't absorb fat well
After surgery on the gallbladder or pancreas to help digestion
Pregnancy interaction:
When a doctor prescribes it, the Pankreoflat Tablet is usually safe to use during pregnancy.
Pancreatin and dimethicone work in the stomach and intestines, but they don't get into the bloodstream very much.
But due to a lack of research on pregnant women, it should only be used if absolutely necessary and with a doctor's supervision.
Summary: ✅ Probably safe to use while pregnant (ask your doctor first).
⚠️ Only use with a doctor's permission.
Expert advice:
For optimal effects, use it with or just after meals or snacks.
Don't chew or crush the tablet; just swallow it whole with water.
Drink many fluids during the day.
Don't take iron supplements and antacids at the same time; wait at least an hour between doses.
Tell your doctor if you have pancreatitis, a blocked bowel, or severe stomach discomfort before using this prescription.
Stick to a healthy diet and stay away from fatty, oily, or spicy foods.
Side Effects:
Common:
Stomach cramps or mild pain
Feeling sick or throwing up
Having diarrhea or constipation
Gas or bloating (at first)
Not often, but serious:
Severe pain in the stomach
Irritation of the mouth or anus (at high doses)
Allergic response (rash, itching, lips or face swelling)
Most side effects are modest and disappear when your body gets used to the treatment.
How to use:
You can take one pill with or right after a meal or snack.
Do not chew or crush; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
Take it at the same time every day to keep things the same.
The amount you take depends on how harmful your digestive enzyme deficit is and how you eat.
Keep it cool and dry, below 25°C.
How it works:
Pancreatin has natural enzymes like lipase, amylase, and protease that help break down fats, carbs, and proteins. This makes it easier for your body to absorb nutrients and eases indigestion.
Dimethicone is an anti-foaming ingredient that breaks up gas bubbles that are stuck in the stomach and intestines, which makes you feel less bloated and uncomfortable.
They work together to improve digestion and ease feelings of fullness, gas, and stomach pain.
Faq for medicine:
1. What is the purpose of the Pankreoflat Tablet?
It helps those who have trouble digesting food because they don't have enough enzymes or have indigestion by making their digestion better and easing gas and bloating.
2. Is it okay for me to take Pankreoflat every day?
Yes, but only if your doctor says so. People with chronic pancreatic enzyme deficiency or digestive problems are generally told to take it with meals on a regular basis.
3. Is it safe to take with other drugs?
Yes, however, you should take it after meals and not with antacids, which can make it less effective. Always talk to your doctor about precise combinations.
4. How long does it take to work?
Taking the tablet with food will make it work in 30 to 60 minutes.
5. Is it safe to consume when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, but only if a doctor is watching. There isn't any known risk, although there isn't a lot of data on pregnant and breastfeeding women.
6. Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking Pankreoflat?
Stay away from alcohol because it might make indigestion worse and hurt the stomach lining.
Medicine interaction:
Use with care or not at all with:
Antacids (such as calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide) might make pancreatin work less well.
Acarbose or miglitol (anti-diabetic medications) may make them less effective.
Iron supplements may make it harder for enzymes to be absorbed. Take them 1–2 hours apart.
Avoid using other digestive enzymes unless your doctor tells you to.
Always tell your doctor about any vitamins or medications you are taking.
