WHAT ENZEPI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Enzepi
is a pancreatic enzyme replacement medicine for people whose bodies do
not make enough of
enzymes to digest food.
Enzepi contains a mixture of natural digestive enzymes which are used

digestions carbohydrates. The enzymes are
taken from pig pancreas glands.
Enzepi is for use by adults, adolescents, children and infants with
