INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2017.
PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Enzyme preparation. Compensates the insufficiency of the exocrine function of the pancreas due to pancreatin and bile excretory function of the liver due to the bile component. Festal В® has a proteolytic, amylolytic and lipolytic effect. Enzymes included in pancreatin: amylase, lipase and protease facilitate digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which contributes to their full absorption in the small intestine.
The presence of bile acids in the preparation of Festal В® gives additional possibilities for correction of biliary insufficiency, which often accompanies chronic pancreatitis. Bile extract has a choleretic effect, facilitates the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins A, E and K, promotes the release of lipase by the pancreas.
The enzyme hemicellulase promotes the cleavage of plant fiber, which also improves digestive processes, reduces the formation of gases in the intestine.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug are not available.
INDICATIONS
Insufficiency of the exocrine function of the pancreas in chronic pancreatitis in combination with biliary insufficiency due to various pathological conditions, clinically manifested by digestive disorders, flatulence, propensity to constipation.
In the combination therapy with:
- diffuse liver diseases - alcohol and toxic liver damage, liver cirrhosis;
- large losses of bile acids (in patients after cholecystectomy);
- violation of bile acid circulation, observed with dyskinesia of bile ducts, dysbiosis, malabsorption;
- Violation of the neurohumoral regulation of the processes of bile formation and bile secretion in chronic gastrointestinal diseases - chronic gastritis, chronic duodenitis, chronic cholecystitis.
To improve the digestion of food in patients with normal gastrointestinal function in the event of errors in nutrition, as well as violations of the masticatory function, forced long-term immobilization, sedentary lifestyle.
Preparation for X-ray and ultrasound of the abdominal organs.
DOSING MODE
The drug should be taken orally, without chewing, during or immediately after eating, with a small amount of liquid.
Adults appoint 1-2 tablets 3 times / day. A higher dose is prescribed by the doctor.
Use of the drug in children as directed by a doctor.
The duration of treatment can vary from several days (if the digestive process is disturbed due to inaccuracies in the diet) to several months or years (if necessary, permanent replacement therapy).
Before x-ray or ultrasound examination - 2 dragees 2-3 times / day for 2-3 days before the study.
SIDE EFFECT
Allergic reactions: flushing of the skin, sneezing, lacrimation.
From the digestive system: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain (including intestinal colic).
With prolonged use in high doses: possibly - hyperuricemia, hyperuricosuria.
When used in high doses in children: it is possible - perianal irritation, irritation of the oral mucosa.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
acute pancreatitis;
- exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis;
- liver failure;
- hepatic coma or precoma;
- Hepatitis;
