Lypex is a supplement of digestive enzymes that assist food breakdown and thus improve absorption in the gut. It is used for dogs and cats suffering from Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). EPI is a disease where the pancreas looses it’s ability to produce digestive enzymes. When the food cannot be digested, it will not absorbed into the body. This will lead to chronic diarrhoea and lose of condition. Lypex can also be used to help control chronic pancreatitis.
In the old days, dog owners used to harvest pig’s pancreas from the abattoir for enzyme supplementation. This had some effect and controlled some of the clinical symptoms of EPI but the respond was by no mean satisfactory. Lypax is easy to apply and give very consistent respond.
For dogs over 10kg one capsule should be given with each meal (twice a day) For cats and dogs under 10kg, half a capsule with each meal. The capsule can either be given whole or sprinkled and mixed with the food.
