Safety & Side Effects
Efectos secundarios reportados
- ⚠ Abdominal pain and cramping
- ⚠ Nausea
- ⚠ Fibrosing colonopathy at very high doses (rare; primarily in cystic fibrosis patients)
- ⚠ Hyperuricemia (high doses of protease can increase uric acid)
Interacciones conocidas
- ● Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide antacids (may reduce enzyme activity)
- ● Acarbose and miglitol (pancreatic amylase may counteract alpha-glucosidase inhibitors)
- ● Iron supplements (protease may reduce iron absorption)
- ● Proton pump inhibitors (may improve enzyme efficacy by reducing acid denaturation)
Ingesta máxima tolerable: 10,000 lipase units/kg/day (higher doses associated with fibrosing colonopathy)
