Unless otherwise indicated, adults are advised to take 2-4 capsules of PangrolЃ 10000 with each meal, swallowing the capsules whole (do not chew), drinking plenty of liquid (for example, a glass of water). If it is difficult for a patient to take a whole capsule (for example, in young children or elderly patients), you can pour its contents, for example, into a glass, opening the capsule by separating the cap from the body, and then take the contents (mini-tablets), drinking some liquid or added to liquid foods that do not require chewing (such as applesauce or fruit juice). Mixture of mini-tablets with food or liquid cannot be stored (take immediately after preparation).
An increase in the dose of the drug should be carried out only under the supervision of a physician, focusing on the dynamics of symptoms (for example, a decrease in steatorrhea, a decrease in abdominal pain).
It is not recommended to exceed the daily dose of enzymes, which is 15,000-20,000 lipase units / kg of body weight.
The duration of the course of treatment is set by the doctor and depends on the course of the disease.
For children, the dosage regimen and duration of treatment is set by the doctor depending on the severity of the disease and the composition of the food at the rate of 500 - 1000 lipase units / kg of the child's body weight for each meal.
