Orpase DS Suspension 200mg Ingredients and Usage

Orpase DS (Double Strength) Suspension is a liquid formulation containing Pancreatin enzymes. This medication is clinically used to manage digestive disorders caused by a lack of pancreatic enzymes. It is particularly suitable for children and elderly patients who have difficulty swallowing capsules. It helps in the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, thereby relieving symptoms of indigestion, flatulence, and malabsorption. PakMeds provides this easy-to-dose suspension to ensure that patients can maintain proper nutrition and digestive health with a palatable liquid option.

How Does Orpase DS Suspension 200mg Work?

The suspension works by providing a concentrated dose of lipase, amylase, and protease enzymes. Once ingested with food, these enzymes mix with the stomach contents and enter the small intestine. They catalyze the hydrolysis of complex food molecules into simpler forms that the body can easily absorb through the intestinal wall. The "Double Strength" formulation allows for smaller dosing volumes to achieve the required therapeutic effect, making it a convenient clinical choice for those with significant enzyme deficiencies.

Orpase DS Suspension 200mg Side Effects

Possible side effects include mild nausea, stomach cramps, or a change in stool consistency. In rare cases, high doses can lead to an increase in uric acid levels in the blood and urine. Some patients may experience perianal irritation if the dose is too high for the amount of fat ingested.

List of Warnings:

• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the enzymes are evenly distributed.
• Take the suspension during or immediately after meals as directed by your physician.
• Do not mix the suspension with very hot foods or liquids, as heat can destroy the enzymes.
• Ensure the patient drinks plenty of water throughout the day.

Orpase DS Suspension 200mg Storage Conditions

Store Orpase DS Suspension in a cool place, preferably below 25°C. Protect from direct sunlight and do not freeze. Keep the bottle cap tightly closed after each use to maintain the activity of the enzymes and store in a safe place away from children.
