How to use:

The dose depends on how bad the enzyme deficit is and how well the medication works.
Your doctor may change the dose based on how much fat you eat and how you feel.
Always do as the doctor says and don't quit taking the medicine all at once.
How it works:
Panstal Plus 10000 Capsule DR has Pancreatin, which is a natural blend of digestive enzymes like lipase, amylase, and protease.
Lipase breaks down lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.
Amylase changes starch into sugars that are easy to digest.
Protease breaks proteins down into their building blocks, amino acids.
These enzymes assist digestion get back to normal by making up for the lack of pancreatic enzymes. The delayed-release (DR) capsule keeps the enzymes safe from stomach acid so they can act well in the colon.
