Dosage & Usage
mg = milligrams · mcg = micrograms (1,000× smaller) · IU = International Units
Dosaggi di uso comune
- general:
- 25,000-40,000 lipase units per meal
- epiadults:
- 25,000-50,000 lipase units with meals, 10,000-25,000 with snacks

Limite massimo: 10,000 lipase units/kg/day (higher doses associated with fibrosing colonopathy)

Safety & Side Effects
Effetti collaterali segnalati
- ⚠ 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)
Interazioni note
- ● 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)
Livello di assunzione massimo tollerabile: 10,000 lipase units/kg/day (higher doses associated with fibrosing colonopathy)
