What is pancreatin?

Generic Name: pancreatin
Other Brand Names: Hi-Vegi-Lip, Pancreatin 4X
Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes (proteins). These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.
Pancreatin is used to replace digestive enzymes when the pancreas does not produce enough on its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, pancreatic cancer, or pancreas surgery.
Pancreatin may also be used to treat a condition called steatorrhea (loose, fatty stools).
Pancreatin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
