Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Pancreatin is derived from porcine pancreas and contains the enzymes amylase, protease and lipase. The enzymes have the same actions as pancreatic juice and when administered to patients with pancreatic insufficiency to improve the ability to metabolize starches, proteins and fats.
Pharmacokinetics: Pancreatin hydrolyzes fats to glycerol and fatty acids, changes proteins into proteases and derived substances, and converts starch into dextrins and sugars.
