Pancreatin Other names: Pancrelipase Pancreases Pancreatic enzymes

Pregnancy

For pancreatic enzymes no clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available. Animal studies show no evidence for any absorption of porcine pancreatic enzymes. Therefore, no reproductive or developmental toxicity is to be expected. Caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women.

Nursing mothers

No effects on the suckling child are anticipated since animal studies suggest no systemic exposure of the breast-feeding woman to pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic enzymes can be used during breast-feeding.

If required during pregnancy or lactation pancreatin enzymes should be used in doses sufficient to provide adequate nutritional status.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Pancreatin enzymes have no or negligible influence on the ability to drive or use machines.
