Metazym

Metazym[edit | edit source]

Metazym is a medication commonly used to treat digestive disorders and enzyme deficiencies. It belongs to a class of drugs known as digestive enzymes. Metazym works by supplementing the body with enzymes that aid in the digestion of food, particularly proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Metazym contains a combination of enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and protease. These enzymes help break down complex nutrients into simpler forms that can be easily absorbed by the body. Amylase aids in the digestion of carbohydrates, lipase helps in breaking down fats, and protease assists in the digestion of proteins.

Indications[edit | edit source]

Metazym is commonly prescribed for individuals with conditions such as pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis, and other digestive disorders that result in enzyme deficiencies. It is also used to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.

Dosage and Administration[edit | edit source]
