FAQs
What is Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)?
EPI is a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes (like protease, lipase, and amylase) to properly break down food. This leads to poor nutrient absorption, often resulting in weight loss, diarrhea, and increased appetite.
How much Panzym should I give my pet?
For cats and dogs up to 10kg, the recommended daily intake is typically 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon per meal, twice daily. For dogs 10kg and upwards, it's 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per meal, twice daily. However, always follow your veterinarian's specific dosage recommendations, as individual needs vary.
Do I need a veterinary diagnosis before using Panzym?
Yes, Panzym is intended for pets diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. It is crucial to have your pet evaluated by a veterinarian to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential causes of digestive issues.
How long does my pet need to take Panzym?
For animals diagnosed with EPI, Panzym is generally intended for lifelong administration to manage the condition and maintain digestive health.
Can I mix Panzym with any type of food?
Panzym can be mixed with most pet foods. It is recommended to slightly moisten dry food to help the powder adhere. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about mixing it with specific diets or wet foods.
What are the main enzymes in Panzym?
Panzym Concentrated Pancreatic Enzyme Powder contains protease, lipase, and amylase.
How should Panzym be stored?
Store Panzym in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the container tightly sealed.
Troubleshooting
Pet refusing to eat food mixed with powder
Ensure the food is only slightly moistened, not soggy. Try mixing the powder more thoroughly. If the issue persists, consult your vet; a different administration method or a palatable alternative might be necessary.
Symptoms not improving after starting Panzym
Confirm you are using the correct dosage as recommended by your veterinarian. Ensure the powder is mixed thoroughly and consumed with each meal. Some pets may require a higher initial dose, or symptoms might be due to other underlying conditions. Veterinary re-evaluation is recommended.
Powder clumping or sticking to the container
Ensure the container is stored in a dry environment. Moisture can cause clumping. If clumping occurs, break it up gently before measuring. Always seal the container tightly after use.
