Abstract :
Pancreatic enzymes are the mainstay treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency related to chronic pancreatitis and post pancreatic surgery. Other potential but controversial uses are treatment of abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis, treatment of weight loss in advanced pancreatic cancer and for dyspepsia. Appropriate dosages, preparations, adjuvant therapy and schedules of administration for pancreatic enzymes in each indication are addressed and summarized.
