Pancreatic enzymes, also known as pancreases or pancrelipase and pancreatin, are commercial mixtures of amylase, lipase, protease and lactase.

[3] Common side effects include vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea.

[3] Other side effects include perianal irritation and high blood uric acid.

[citation needed] Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas.

[14] Some contact lens-cleaning solutions contain porcine pancreatin extractives to assist in the intended protein-removal process.

[18] Brand names include Creon,[19] Pancreaze, Pertzye, Sollpura[20] (Liprotamase[21][note 1]), Ultresa,[22] and Zenpep.

[26][27][28] This has led for alternative sources of enzymes to be studied and commercialised, mainly being of bacterial or fungal origin.
