PERT experience with the
high-strength ZENPEP capsules
Capsules not actual size.
Only ZENPEP meets the ACG-recommended dose
in
a
single capsule per meal.1-3*
- This illustration is intended to be an example. ZENPEP capsules represent nearest capsule count within recommended dosing range.
- For patients on the lower end of the weight range, a lower dose may be appropriate.
- Do not exceed 2,500 lipase units/kg/meal, 10,000 lipase units/kg/day, or 4,000 lipase units/g fat ingested/day in adult and pediatric patients greater than 12 months of age without further investigation.
- ZENPEP 40K and/or 60K may not be appropriate for all patients. ZENPEP is available in 3K, 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 40K, and 60K USP units of lipase.
- Therapy should be initiated at the lowest recommended dose and gradually increased.
- ZENPEP capsules and capsule contents should not be crushed or chewed. ZENPEP should be taken with every meal and snack. Usually half the prescribed dose for an individualized full meal should be given with each snack.
- Capsules not actual size.
- * For patients with EPI and CP, the ACG-recommended adequate dosage of PERT is at least 40,000 to 50,000 lipase units per meal.
- † Based on 3 meals and 2 snacks.
- ZENPEP capsules and capsule contents should not be crushed or chewed.
- ZENPEP should be taken with every meal and snack. Usually, half of the prescribed dose for an individualized full meal should be given with each snack.
- Therapy should be initiated at the lowest recommended dosage and individualize the dosage based on clinical symptoms, the degree of steatorrhea present, and the fat content of the diet.
