Epizyme™ Powder

Generic Pancrezyme Powder is used to treat dogs and cats with deficient exocrine pancreatic secretions. Uses enzyme replacement therapy to aid in the digestion of carbohydrate, protein and fat due to Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI).

Symptoms of EPI may include chronic diarrhea, weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite, frequent or greater amounts of stool and gas; and coprophagia.

With regular therapy, diarrhea will stop and the animal's weight and haircoat will return to normal.

EPI is most commonly caused when the pancreatic acinar cells fail to function properly causing insufficient digestion of starches, fats and proteins. This is called idiopathic pancreatic acinar atrophy (PAA).

The second most common cause is pancreatitis or chronic inflammation of the pancreas. If this is the cause, your pet may have diabetes.

Disposal of Unused Prescription Medications

1. Return unwanted or unused medications to Revival Animal Health in person, or visit www.disposemymeds.org to find a pharmacy near you.
2. A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
3. Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps

1. When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
2. Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
3. As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.

Disposal of Sharps Container

1. When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
2. Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
3. Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
