AMINASE CAPSULE

Introduction:

Aminase capsule is a health supplement containing a combination of proteolytic enzymes. It helps in digestion of food. It is used to treat protein energy wasting (PEW), and improves health conditions of patients with chronic kidney disease and cancer. Protein energy wasting is state of decreased protein and energy fuels, and is associated with low functional capacity and impaired quality of life. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding before taking this medicine. Talk to your doctor about all the medicines you are taking recently, including supplements and herbal medicines before taking this medicine.

Uses of Aminase Capsule:

• Protein energy wasting  (PEW) in elderly patients
• Cancer induced cachexia (weight loss and muscle wasting)
• Patients on Maintenance and Peritoneal dialysis (to reduce the incidence of PEW in chronic kidney disease patients)

How Aminase Capsule works:

It works by helping the body in breaking proteins into smaller fragments of peptides and amino acids and they are important for cell division, blood clotting, immune function, protein recycling and other vital processes.

Interactions with other drugs:

Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or have taken before the treatment.

More information:

Store under less than 25° C protected from light. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
