Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

The drug contains pancreatin from the pancreas of pigs in the form of enteric-coated (acid-resistant) microtablets in gelatin capsules. The capsules dissolve rapidly in the stomach, releasing micro-tablets on a multidose basis, which ensures good mixing with the stomach contents, transport from the stomach together with its contents and after release sufficient distribution of enzymes within the intestinal contents. When microtablets enter the small intestine, the shell dissolves rapidly (at pH> 5.5), releasing enzymes with lipolytic, amylolytic and proteolytic activity, which provides the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The products of pancreatic digestion are then absorbed either immediately or after further hydrolysis by intestinal enzymes.

Ermital (pancreatin) Pharmacokinetics.

Animal studies have shown no evidence of uptake of enzymes unchanged, and therefore classical pharmacokinetic studies have not been performed. Pancreatic enzyme supplements do not require absorption to achieve their effect. On the contrary, their full therapeutic effect is manifested in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, as proteins, they undergo proteolytic digestion by passing through the gastrointestinal tract before being absorbed as peptides and amino acids.

Preclinical data do not indicate an appropriate acute, subchronic or chronic toxicity. No studies on genotoxicity, carcinogenicity or toxicity to reproduction have been performed.

Indication
Treatment of exocrine insufficiency of the pancreas in adults and children, which is caused by various diseases, including the following, but not limited to this list:

chronic pancreatitis;
pancreatectomy;
gastrectomy;
operations with the imposition of a gastrointestinal anastomosis (eg gastroenterostomy by Billroth II);
Schwachmann-Diamond syndrome;
condition after an attack of acute pancreatitis and restoration of enteral or oral nutrition.

Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the active substance of pancreatin, pig / pork proteins or to any other component of the drug.
