PERTZYE (pancrelipase) delayed-release capsules are for oral administration, include a two-piece hard gelatin shell containing light tan/cream-colored bicarbonate-buffered enteric-coated microspheres ranging in size from 0.8 to 1.4 mm in diameter for 4,000 USP units of lipase and 0.8 to 2.2 mm in diameter for 8,000, 16,000, and 24,000 USP units of lipase, and are available as follows: 4,000 USP units of lipase ; 14,375 USP units of protease; and 15,125 USP units of amylase; delayed-release capsules have a clear body printed in green with "4" and a clear cap printed with a green circular stripe and "DCI". The imprinting ink on the capsule contains FD&C Blue #1, D&C Yellow #10, black iron oxide, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, shellac, and ammonium hydroxide. 8,000 USP units of lipase ; 28,750 USP units of protease; and 30,250 USP units of amylase; delayed-release capsules have a clear body printed in blue with "8" and a clear cap printed with a blue circular stripe and "DCI". The imprinting ink on the capsule contains FD&C Blue #1, ethanol, methanol, n-butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, shellac, and ammonium hydroxide. 16,000 USP units of lipase ; 57,500 USP units of protease; and 60,500 USP units of amylase; delayed-release capsules have a clear body printed in red with "16" and a clear cap printed with a red circular stripe and "DCI". The imprinting ink on the capsule contains FD&C Red #40, povidone, titanium dioxide, dehydrated alcohol, sodium hydroxide, butyl alcohol, propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and shellac. 24,000 USP units of lipase ; 86,250 USP units of protease; and 90,750 USP units of amylase; delayed-release capsules have a clear body printed in purple with "24" and a clear cap printed with a purple circular stripe and "DCI".
