Pancrease MT Information

Pancrease MT at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of brand-name Pancrease MT (pancreatic enzymes: lipase, protease, amylase) is VIVUS Pharmaceuticals (originally developed by Janssen Inc.). It is available in several countries worldwide, including Canada.

The generic pancreatic enzymes (lipase, protease, amylase) are currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Pancrease MT is available in the following oral strengths (lipase-amylase-protease, in USP units):
• Pancrease MT 4: 4,200-10,000-17,500 USP units.
• Pancrease MT 10: 10,500-25,000-43,750 USP units.
• Pancrease MT 16: 16,800-40,000-70,000 USP units.

Capsules are taken with meals and snacks, and your doctor will determine the right strength and number of capsules based on your body weight, the fat content of your diet, and the severity of your condition.

Usage:

Pancrease MT is used to replace digestive enzymes in patients whose pancreas does not produce enough of them on its own, a condition called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This can occur in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or after certain pancreatic surgeries. By supplying lipase, amylase, and protease, Pancrease MT helps the body break down fats, starches, and proteins from food so nutrients are properly absorbed.

Mechanism of Action
Pancrease MT capsules contain tiny, enteric-coated microtablets of pancrelipase, a mixture of digestive enzymes derived from pancreatic tissue. The enteric coating protects the enzymes from stomach acid, so they remain inactive until they reach the small intestine, where the higher pH allows the coating to dissolve. Once released, the lipase, amylase, and protease enzymes act directly in the gut to help digest fats, starches, and proteins, mimicking the enzymes a healthy pancreas would normally supply.

Take Pancrease MT exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the highlights of the prescribing information. Swallow capsules whole with meals or snacks; do not crush or chew the microtablets inside, as this can reduce their effectiveness. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, they may be opened, and the microtablets sprinkled onto a small amount of soft, acidic food, such as applesauce, and swallowed right away without chewing. Do not mix the microtablets with dairy products or non-acidic foods (pH greater than 5.5) such as milk, yogurt, or custard, as this can dissolve the enteric coating prematurely and irritate the mouth or throat.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Pancrease MT, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Pancrease MT (pancreatic enzymes). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These are common side effects of Pancrease MT; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Stomach pain or discomfort

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Fibrosing Colonopathy: Severe abdominal pain, bloating, or a change in bowel habits, particularly in children taking high enzyme doses.
• Severe Allergic Reaction: Rash, itching, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat.
• Signs of Gout or High Uric Acid: Joint pain or swelling.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Pancrease MT, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Pancrease MT if:
• Acute Pancreatitis: You have acute pancreatitis or an acute flare-up of chronic pancreatic disease.
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to pancrelipase, pork products, or any of the capsule's ingredients.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Pancrease MT. This is crucial as certain conditions affect the drug's safety.
• A History of Fibrosing Colonopathy or Bowel Strictures (as high doses can increase the risk of bowel complications).
• Gout or Hyperuricemia (as porcine-derived pancreatic enzymes contain purines that may elevate serum uric acid levels).

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Pancrease MT, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the product monograph at https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00072337.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Pancrease MT. Because Pancrease MT works within the digestive tract, tell your doctor about any other medications you take so they can watch for any changes in how well those medications are absorbed.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Because pancreatic enzymes act mainly within the gut and are not meaningfully absorbed into the bloodstream, they are generally not expected to pose a significant risk during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Still, your doctor can confirm what's best for your situation.

Use in Children:

Pancrease MT can be used in children, including those with cystic fibrosis, under a doctor's supervision. Doses in children are carefully calculated based on body weight to reduce the risk of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare but serious bowel complication linked to very high enzyme doses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pancrease MT at Canada Pharmacy Online

Why is Pancrease MT more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Pancrease MT, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
