Where permanent therapy is required, dose levels should be reduced periodically to see whether pancreatic recovery has taken place. However, more often the deficiency is progressive and patients should be re-examined at intervals to ensure stability.

Proper dietary control is also essential for successful management of cases suffering from pancreatic insufficiency. Consult a veterinary surgeon for advice.
