mg = milligrams · mcg = micrograms (1,000× smaller) · IU = International Units
Dosagens Comumente Utilizadas
- general:
- 25,000-40,000 lipase units per meal

Safety & Side Effects
Efeitos Colaterais Relatados
- ⚠ 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)
Interações Conhecidas
- ● 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)
Ingestão máxima tolerável: 10,000 lipase units/kg/day (higher doses associated with fibrosing colonopathy)
