Festal is used to normalize the absorption of food. It is a drug based on enzymes that are normally secreted into the duodenum during the digestion of food. It can be used in case of enzyme deficiency and other conditions manifested by stool retention, increased gas production and other unpleasant symptoms. It is prescribed for patients over three years old.
    An external source of enzymes helps to normalize the activity of the gastrointestinal tract in various pathological conditions.

Composition and form of release

It is a drug based on several active components required for the breakdown and assimilation of food substrates.
Active ingredients and their content in pills:
    Pancreatin, formed by four and a half thousand amylase units, three hundred protease units and six thousand lipase units (one hundred ninety-two milligrams.)
    Bile-Forming Substances (twenty-five milligrams.)
    Hemicellulose (fifty milligrams.)
Produced in the form of pills.

Festal's action

The medicine normalizes the digestive functions of the gastrointestinal tract in violation of the secretion of enzymes by the pancreas. The enzymes included in the capsule play an important role in the absorption of proteins and carbohydrates. An additional component, bile, helps the body absorb fatty substances as these chemicals are needed to emulsify. Improves the breakdown and absorption of the most important food substrates in the digestive tract of patients suffering from pathologies of the pancreas, gallbladder and / or biliary tract.

Additional properties

    An external source of bile components facilitates the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and stimulates the production of an enzyme required for the breakdown of lipids.
    Festal improves the breakdown of cellulose contained in plant products. This action normalizes the formation of feces and prevents the development of flatulence, which occurs due to the activity of colon microorganisms.
    The product has complex medicinal properties.

Indications for Festal's use

The medicine is sold freely, but it is advisable to be examined by a doctor before therapy.

These diseases are manifested by stool retention, increased gas production in the intestines, a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen after eating, and other characteristic symptoms.

    The appearance of stool retention and increased gas production in the intestine against the background of the condition described above.
    Damage to the liver tissue by ethanol and other toxic substances.
    Disruption of the regulation of the formation and release of bile into the duodenum against the background of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach, intestines and / or gallbladder.
    Disorder of bile acid metabolism in violation of the biliary tract, changes in the gastrointestinal tract microbiome, impaired absorption of substances in the intestine.
    Lack of bile components in patients who have undergone gallbladder removal.
    Ineffective digestion associated with insufficient chewing of food, non-compliance with a healthy diet and low physical activity in people with intact digestive system functions.
    Preparation for ultrasound or X-ray of the abdominal organs.

    Undesirable consequences of the simultaneous use of Festal and other medicines are possible. The possibility of complex drug therapy should be discussed with your doctor.
    Against the background of treatment, the absorption of antimicrobial agents of the sulfanilamide group, para-aminosalicylic acid, and antibiotics increases.

    The active components of Festal reduce the effectiveness of acarbose, therefore, these medicines should not be used at the same time.
    Long-term therapy sometimes results in decreased absorption of iron-based drugs.
    Cimetidine increases the effectiveness of the enzyme components of the pills.
    During therapy, impairment of the absorption of folic acid is possible.
