Let Your Patients Know
Supplements are complementary to PERT
Supplements do not treat EPI but may provide the additional nutrients that your patients with EPI need.1
Many patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) may eventually develop deficiencies in certain essential nutrients.2,3 Even before developing steatorrhea — or after it's resolved with treatment — patients with CP may be at risk for nutritional deficiencies.1 Normalization of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) following pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) does not rule out potential nutritional challenges, such as those relating to maintaining healthy bone density and digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.1 Nutritional deficiency from EPI is also known to increase morbidity and mortality and reduce quality of life in patients with CP.‡4,5
