Buy Viokace Online

(Lipase/Protease/Amylase)

The active ingredients in Vioacke are lipases, proteases, and amylases made from pig pancreas. When these enzymes are released in the small intestine, they break down our food into smaller and more digestible pieces that our body can use as nutrition for energy and support.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Viokace. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Viokace:

• Viokace should be used exactly as prescribed.
• Your total daily dose will be determined by your prescriber. If you eat more fatty foods, your dose may be different than others. Viokace should be taken with a meal or snack and a full glass of water. Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Because Viokace is sensitive to acid, your doctor will also prescribe a PPI or proton pump inhibitor alongside the Viokace. These medications decrease stomach acid, preventing the medication from breaking down in the stomach.
• Other pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies, like Viokace, are also available on the market, such as Creon or Zenpep. However, do not switch to the other ones without first talking to your doctor.
• Viokace, when taken appropriately, will help correct your stomach issues. However, if you continue to have signs and symptoms of malabsorption (not absorbing nutrients from food) such as abdominal pain, abdominal distention, bloating, fatty stools, or weight loss, talk to your doctor. This may be a sign that the medication is not right for you or that your dose may need to be changed.
• If you miss a dose, wait until your next meal and then take your usual number of tablets. Do not double your doses to make up for a missed dose.

Some mild or common side effects of Viokace include:

• Gallstones

• Signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, eyes, or tongue
