Can enzymes be taken with other prescription medication?
Digestive enzymes function by breaking down specific chemical bonds in food. In most cases digestive enzymes can therefore safely be taken with medication. However, it is of course always recommended to let your health care provider know what you are taking. Caution is advised while pregnant or breastfeeding. One area of caution is with prescription blood-thinning agents. If you are on this type of medication, you should consult with your physician before beginning an enzyme regimen.

Will taking supplemental digestive enzymes inhibit the body’s ability to make its own enzymes?
No. It is the presence of hormones, not enzymes, that signals the secretion of more or less enzymes. Whether from internal or external (supplemental) enzymes, complete hydrolysis of food macromolecules is the indicator for the hormones secretin and cholecystekinin to signal the pancreas to stop secreting pancreatic juices. Taking supplemental digestive enzymes supports and assists the digestive function; it does not inhibit it.
