Triferment, 30 tablets, Biofarm

Triferment contains the active substance pancreatin made up of pancreatic enzymes (lipase, amylase, protease).These enzymes are useful for patients whose pancreas can no longer produce enough enzymes to digest food.

Pancreatic enzymes ingested orally are necessary to break down nutrients for digestion. Lipase breaks down fats, amylase breaks down sugars (carbohydrates), and protease breaks down proteins, ensuring proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Composition:

• The active substance is pancreatin
• One gastro-resistant tablet contains pancreatin 275 mg
• The pancreatin contained in one gastro-resistant tablet is equivalent to a minimum enzyme activity of 2970 amylase units, 3720 lipase units and 250 protease units
• The other components are: core - corn starch, talc, sugar; film - hypromellose 15 cP (E 464), lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide (E 171), macrogol 4000, citric acid monohydrate (E 330), methacrylic acid copolymer type C, talc, triethyl citrate (E 1505), colloidal silicon dioxide anhydrous, sodium hydrogen carbonate (E 500), sodium lauryl sulfate, partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, macrogol 3350, Ponceau 4R (E 124), twilight yellow FCF (E 110).
