Pharmacodynamics
Enzistal-P is a digestive enzyme preparation that replenishes the deficiency of pancreatic enzymes and has amylolytic, proteolytic and lipolytic effects. The pancreatic enzymes included in the composition of the product, such as alpha-amylase, lipase, chymotrypsin, trypsin, are involved in the breakdown of fats to fatty acids and glycerol, proteins to amino acids, starch to monosaccharides and dextrins. The active substance Enzistal-P contributes to the normalization of digestion processes, improvement of the functional state of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), provides complete and rapid digestion of food, reduces the severity of symptoms resulting from indigestion (feeling of fullness and heaviness in the stomach, diarrhea, flatulence).
