Ingredient-level reference
Pancreatin (gastro-resistant reference)
Reference for: Pancreatin. Source presentation: GASTRO-RESISTANT GRANULES. Source route: oral.
The cited studies use delayed-release gastro-resistant granules. The catalogue entry has a different or unspecified release description; these study values do not establish its absorption profile.
Human pharmacokinetic measurements are not provided by this reference. The specific evidence limitation is explained below.
Mechanism of action
The referenced porcine pancreatin supplies lipase, amylase and protease activity. Its acid-resistant coating releases enzymes in the small intestine, where they break down dietary fats, starches and proteins. Enzyme activity units and pancreatin mass are distinct measures.
Pharmacokinetics
The label states that conventional pharmacokinetic data are unavailable because the enzymes act locally in the gastrointestinal tract and are subsequently digested. A systemic absorption percentage or plasma half-life should not be invented for this preparation. The gastro-resistant delivery findings do not demonstrate equal enzyme activity or performance for an unspecified tablet.
Ingredient-level summary of the cited reference product. Study formulation, route, strength and population govern interpretation; these data do not establish pharmacokinetics or bioequivalence for Walter's formulation or fixed combination.
