    Pancrelipase is a medication containing lipase, protease, and amylase enzymes that is given to patients with cystic fibrosis to replace digestive enzymes that are deficient. It must be taken with every meal and snack by opening the capsule and sprinkling the contents on food, as it helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into smaller components to aid digestion. Taking it before or after eating would reduce its effectiveness. An expected outcome is a reduction in fatty stools.
