ZENPEP® offers a single-capsule starting dose for almost all adults with EPI

ZENPEP 40K,60K Capsule

High-strength capsules like ZENPEP 40K or 60K
can help you start treatment with a single
capsule—while still getting enough enzymes

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is available in a wide range
of lipase units per capsule, but most adults with exocrine pancreatic
insufficiency (EPI) can start ZENPEP with just one high-strength capsule
taken with each meal.

Average weight of adults

Male: ≈200 lb

Female: ≈171 lb

Depending on the response, some people may need more lipase units to help relieve symptoms. Everyone is different, so your doctor will calculate your individual PERT dose based on your:

Body weight
Steatorrhea icon
EPI symptoms

(especially steatorrhea)

The types of food you eat
The most common reason for EPI treatment failure is not taking enough enzymes or not taking them at the right time.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about your treatment options.

ACG GUIDELINE

at least 40K-50K lipase units per meal*

The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) is a professional association for gastroenterologists. The ACG guidelines were developed by leading experts to provide clinical guidance with evidence-based recommendations and best practices for gastrointestinal conditions.

For patients with EPI and CP, the ACG-recommended adequate dosage of PERT is at least 40K to 50K lipase units per meal—and ZENPEP is the only PERT that meets this guideline in a single capsule.

CP=chronic pancreatitis.
