Nutrizym as a pancreatic enzyme replacement


M.G. Moshal

Abstract

Twenty courses of Nutrizym or placebo were administered to patients with steatorrhoea due to pancreatic insufficiency. Stool fat excretion fell significantly in all patients while on Nutrizym (P<0.001). On placebo, a mean (±SD) of 27,6 ± 18,3 g/24 h of fat was excreted in the stools. On Nutrizym a mean of 12,4 ± 9,9 g/24 h of fat was excreted. All patients felt subjectively better and weight loss was arrested.
