Could giving a child (13 months) a higher dose of Pangrol than recommended by a doctor for two weeks have a negative effect on his health?
Child age 13 months . The doctor ordered to give PANGROL 3/4 microcapsules (i.e. what is inside), I gave 3/4 whole capsules for 2 weeks. Could it have caused any damage in the body? This is a very high dose..

It is difficult for me to give an unambiguous answer, because I have not found Pangrol in microcapsules in the official list of medicines.
Pangrol is available in two doses, i.e. 10,000 U lipase and 25,000 U lipase. Giving a child at 13 months of age Pangrol at a dose higher than recommended by the doctor may raise concerns about potential side effects.

Pangrol contains pancreatin, which is a mixture of porcine digestive enzymes used to treat digestive disorders. Excessive administration of digestive enzymes can lead to various health problems such as irritation of the stomach and intestinal mucosa, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.
In this situation, it is important to contact your child's doctor as soon as possible and inform them of the situation. The doctor will be able to assess the child's health and take appropriate steps to prevent possible health complications.
