Hi,

Panlipase contains pancreatic enzymes. It is taken in pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), wherein digestion is affected because of damage to pancreas. It does not reduce cholesterol or blood sugar. It is not helpful for gallbladder function dysfunction too.

Discuss with your doctor whether he has prescribed it with the diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in mind.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Doctor,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The Nuclear Medicine test shows GB function of only 30%. Doctor has prescribed both Panlipase and Ursetor 300. How can GB dysfunction problem be solved once for all or does it remain throughout my life?
Dear Doctor,

One more thing. I have AF also and Doctor has prescribed Diltiact cream. I do not know how to use it?

Dear XXXXXXX Ayyar,

I am happy that you have got answers for all the other questions and have decided to ask more.

You GB Ejection fraction are lower than the optimal value. So you are more prone for cholecystitis (inflammation of GB), bile stasis and stone formation. Sometimes removal of gallbladder is advised if the ejection fraction is very low. You can discuss with your doctor about removing it laparoscopic XXXXXXX and you may get relief once for all.

Regarding the other question, kindly clarify whether by AF you mean atrial fibrillation (because the topical form of diltiact is used only for anal fissure).

Dear Mr XXXXXXX

For relief from anal fissures four things need to be done -

1. Eat high fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids which will help ease your bowel movements
2. Take fiber supplements. Many different brands are available in the market
3. Do sitz bath. This involves sitting in a tub of warm water for 10 minutes twice a day so the anal part touches the warm water. This relieves symptoms of anal fissure
and finally
4. Applying diltiact over the anal verge. This will relax the anal sphincter ( which has become tight in anal fissure).

Regarding the side effects -
The side effects of panlipase are -stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and allergic reactions.
Ursetor is a very safe medication and its side effects include nausea, vomiting and loose stools.

Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini

Hi Doctor,

Actually I underwent Angioplasty in April this year. Because of this I am taking Brillianta, Diovan, Concor and Aspirin. THis is apart from Janumet and Crestor. Because of these many tablets, Cardio Doctor advised me to tame Pantazole and since I was taking Raciper D for quite some time, Doctor advised me to change to Raciper D.

Since I had server stomach upset (i.e constipation, flatulance and stinking smell during stools and gas, I went to Gastro. He did the nuclear test and advised Panlipase and Ursetor (all dtls are in above communication). He also advised me to stop Racifer D.

Now for the past 1 week I am having severe flatulance and like yesterday I felt as if I am pain in Heart (just like I faced in April which forced me to go to Hospitla where 2 blocks were found in RCA). I just took Glaviscon to reduce the gas but the heartburn and gas continues.

Can you kindly advise me on what to do please?

Answered by Dr. Dr.P.Ratnakar Kini (31 hours later)
Brief Answer:
You may have to start taking Raciper D again.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for contacting me again.
The heartburn is due to acid reflux.
You may have to start taking Raciper D again.

Increased flatulence could occur due to infection and malabsorption.
Get a stool analysis done to rule out infection. You are already on digestive enzymes ( panlipase). Continue taking the enzyme supplements.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr.Ratnakar Kini
