, All doses are taken immediately before or with meals
or snacks with a fatty component. Fruit, hard candy,
fruit juice like drinks, tea or coffee, or popsicles do
not require enzymes (CFF, 2009). Capsules may be
opened and sprinkled on food. Capsules with enteric-
coated beads should not be chewed. They may be
sprinkled on soft acidic food that is not hot and that
can be swallowed without chewing, such as
applesauce or gelatin. Swallow immediately because
the proteolytic enzymes may irritate the mucosa.

pancreatic enzymes contact with the mouth and esophagus for long
periods. Pancrelipase is destroyed by acid. Proton
pump inhibitors, sodium bicarbonate, or aluminum-
based antacids may be used with preparations
without enteric coating to neutralize gastric pH.
Calcium- and magnesium-based antacids should not
be used for this purpose because they interfere with
drug action. Enteric-coated beads are designed to
withstand the acid pH of the stomach. Enteric-coated
formulations should not be mixed with alkaline food
or the coating will be destroyed.

pain syndromes, vertigo, insomnia resulting in daytime
sleepiness and confusion, increased risk of blood
clots, and hair loss. A key concern is the loss of bone
mass. Bone loss can be significant when considering
the concurrent osteoporotic risks of postmenopause.

leukopenia can occur, but the incidence of viral and
bacteria infections is not considered greater than
matched groups (about 10%). Hypertension occurs in
10% of patients. A life-threatening increase in blood
clotting can result in MI, stroke, or pulmonary
embolus. Hot flashes can be intense.
