Pangrol contains pancreas powder derived from porcine sources and is used as an oral enzyme supplement to aid digestion in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, including those with cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis.
How does pancreas powder from porcine work?+
The powder provides a blend of lipase, amylase and protease enzymes that mimic natural pancreatic secretions. These enzymes break down dietary fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the gastrointestinal tract, improving nutrient absorption for individuals whose pancreas does not produce sufficient enzymes.
What is the usual dose of Pangrol?+
The appropriate dose of Pangrol is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s clinical condition, severity of enzyme deficiency and nutritional needs. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety of Pangrol in pregnancy or lactation has not been fully established. It should be used only if clearly needed and after a risk‑benefit assessment by a qualified healthcare provider.
