PERTZYE (pancrelipase) by AbbVie is lipases, proteases, and amylases that catalyze the hydrolysis of fats to monoglyceride, glycerol and free fatty acids, proteins into peptides and amino acids, and starches into dextrins and short chain sugars such as maltose and maltotriose in the duodenum and proximal small intestine, thereby acting like digestive enzymes physiologically secreted by the pancreas. Approved for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis. First approved in 2012.

PERTZYE is an oral delayed-release capsule containing pancrelipase (a combination of lipases, proteases, and amylases) approved for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in adults. It replaces missing pancreatic digestive enzymes, enabling the breakdown of fats, proteins, and starches in the small intestine. The product mimics the physiological function of naturally secreted pancreatic enzymes.
PERTZYE is in peak commercial lifecycle with modest Part D spending of $7M and 1,578 claims in 2023, indicating a stable but niche market position requiring focused commercial and specialty team management.
