Chymoral Forte is a prescription medication that contains pancreatin, a digestive enzyme. It helps your body digest food, particularly fats and proteins.
Here's how it works:
- Pancreatin is a mixture of enzymes naturally produced by the pancreas.
- These enzymes break down food into smaller molecules that your body can easily absorb.
- Chymoral Forte is used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition where the pancreas doesn't produce enough digestive enzymes.
Common uses of Chymoral Forte include:
- Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system.
- Chronic pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas.
- Pancreatic cancer: Cancer of the pancreas.
- Post-pancreatectomy: After surgery to remove part or all of the pancreas.
Important Note: Chymoral Forte is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
