Cotazym Information:
Cotazym (generic name: Pancrelipase) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas and blockage of the pancreatic ducts. Cotazym contains pancrelipase, which is combination of three enzymes lipase, protease and amylase. These three enzymes are normally produced naturally by the liver, and they are very important for the digestion of fats, proteins and sugars in the body. Cotazym is prescribed to replace these enzymes when the body does not make enough on its own. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease, and is very common. It is caused by a gene which controls the movement of salt in the body, and the internal organs including the pancreas become clogged with thick, sticky mucus which leads to infections and inflammation making it difficult to breath and digest food. The enzyme pills such as Cotazym helps cystic fibrosis patients to get more energy from the food that they eat. It does the same for people who have blockages and inflammation of the pancreas, helping them to digest food better.
Cotazym Side Effects:
