Indigestion is considered one of the most important problems in the world today. That is why many drugs are produced today that restore the deficiency of enzymes in the stomach and intestines.
Definition
Pancreatin refers to digestive enzyme agents, which are an extract of the contents of the pancreas. It contains pancreatic enzymes protease, lipase, amylase, which are involved in the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Pancreatin is used for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or for errors in nutrition, it allows you to compensate for the insufficient activity of the body's own enzymes, and in addition, significantly improves the digestion process. Pancreatin is produced under various trade names, including Mezim.
Mezim is a digestive enzyme agent that replenishes the deficiency of pancreatic enzymes in the body. In addition, it has amylolytic, proteolytic and lipolytic effects. The preparation contains pancreatic enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase and alpha-amylase. The drug is responsible for improving the functional state of the gastrointestinal tract, and also normalizes the digestive process. Mezim-forte is one of the most popular drugs for the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract. This is one of the many analogues of Pancreatin, it belongs to the category of digestive enzymes.
Comparison
Both of these drugs contain the active ingredient pancreatin, but in different dosages. The largest amount of the enzyme is found in Mezima, so it is used in more severe cases. The drug has a specific dosage and is used as an enzyme, depending on the severity of the disease. Pancreatin contains a smaller amount of active substance (which is not subject to mandatory dosage), it is prescribed for mild digestive disorders.
Conclusions TheDifference.ru
- Pancreatin is an enzyme preparation that is used to improve the functioning of the digestive system. Mezim is an analogue of Pancreatin.
- Pancreatin contains enzymes (amylase, protease, trypsin, chymotrypsin) in free dosage. In Mezima, the amount of active substances is strictly taken into account.
- Pancreatin is a cheap drug; Mezim is somewhat more expensive.
