Viokace contains pancrelipase, a mixture of digestive enzymes. It is a prescription medication used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

EPI happens when the pancreas does not make enough digestive enzymes.

Without enough enzymes, your body may have trouble breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

Viokace may be used in people with EPI caused by conditions such as:

  • Chronic pancreatitis
  • Pancreatic surgery
  • Other conditions that reduce pancreatic enzyme production

How Viokace Helps Digestion

Viokace replaces some of the digestive enzymes that the pancreas would normally produce.

It contains:

  • Lipase, which helps digest fats
  • Amylase, which helps digest carbohydrates
  • Protease, which helps digest proteins

These enzymes help your body break down food more effectively and absorb nutrients.

Important Note

Viokace is a non-enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablet and is generally taken together with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

The PPI helps reduce stomach acid so the enzymes in Viokace can remain active long enough to work properly.

Viokace should be taken exactly as prescribed and with meals or snacks so the enzymes are available when food is being digested.

Viokace is taken by mouth with every meal and snack.

Take it exactly as prescribed so the enzymes are present while your food is being digested.

Swallow the Tablets Whole

Swallow Viokace tablets whole.

Do not crush, chew, or hold the tablets in your mouth because this can irritate your mouth and throat and may reduce how well the medication works.

Take Viokace With a Proton Pump Inhibitor

Viokace is usually taken together with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), such as omeprazole or lansoprazole.

The PPI lowers stomach acid and helps protect the pancreatic enzymes from being broken down before they can work.

Take the PPI exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Your Dose Is Individualized

The dose of Viokace depends on factors such as:

  • Your body weight
  • The amount of fat in your diet
  • Your medical condition
  • Your digestive symptoms
  • How well you respond to treatment

Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose over time.

Do not increase the number of tablets on your own. Taking more than prescribed will not make Viokace work faster and may increase the risk of side effects.

Drink Enough Fluids

Drink enough fluids while taking Viokace unless your healthcare provider has told you to limit your fluid intake.

Good hydration can help support normal digestion and bowel function.

Follow Your Diet Plan

For the best results, take Viokace regularly and follow any diet recommendations from your healthcare provider or dietitian.

Contact your healthcare provider if you continue to have greasy stools, stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss, as your dose may need to be adjusted.

Pork Allergy

Viokace is made from porcine (pig) pancreatic enzymes.

Do not take Viokace if you have had a serious allergic reaction to pork proteins or pancrelipase.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop:

  • Hives
  • Severe rash
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing

Bowel Narrowing or Obstruction

High doses of pancreatic enzymes have been linked to a rare condition called fibrosing colonopathy, which can cause narrowing of the intestines.

The risk may be higher in people who already have:

  • Intestinal strictures
  • A history of bowel obstruction
  • Certain long-term digestive disorders

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, or difficulty passing stool.

High Uric Acid Levels

Viokace can increase uric acid levels in the blood or urine.

Use extra caution if you have:

Your healthcare provider may monitor your uric acid levels if you are at increased risk.

Kidney Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease.

Higher uric acid levels may increase the risk of kidney problems in some people, especially when large doses of pancreatic enzymes are used.

Mouth and Throat Irritation

Do not crush, chew, or hold Viokace tablets in your mouth.

The enzymes can irritate the lining of your mouth and throat.

Swallow the tablets whole with enough liquid.

Take Viokace With a Proton Pump Inhibitor

Viokace is a non-enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablet, so it is normally prescribed together with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

The PPI lowers stomach acid and helps protect the enzymes from breaking down before they can work.

Take both medications exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Some medicines may affect digestion or stomach acidity and could change how well pancreatic enzyme therapy works.

Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can check for important interactions.

Use the Prescribed Dose

Do not take more Viokace than prescribed.

Very high doses of pancreatic enzymes can increase the risk of serious intestinal problems and high uric acid levels.

Your healthcare provider will choose the dose based on your body weight, diet, symptoms, and response to treatment.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, constipation, worsening digestive symptoms, signs of gout, or symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Seek emergency medical attention for difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction.

How should I store Viokace?

Store Viokace at room temperature in a dry place away from excess heat and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed and store the medication out of the reach of children and pets.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Viokace?

Viokace should be taken with meals and snacks. If you forget to take a dose with food, skip that dose and take your usual dose with your next meal or snack. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed one.

How long does it take for Viokace to start working?

Viokace works while food is being digested. When you take it with a meal or snack, the pancreatic enzymes help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates from that food. You may notice an improvement in symptoms such as greasy stools, bloating, or digestive discomfort after treatment begins, but the timing can vary from person to person. Contact your healthcare provider if your digestive symptoms do not improve, as your dose may need to be adjusted.

Can Viokace be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Pancrelipase enzymes mainly work inside the digestive tract and are not expected to be absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. Your healthcare provider will consider your need for pancreatic enzyme replacement and your overall health before recommending treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
