What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking AFP-Peptizyde with DPP IV Activity against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of AFP-Peptizyde with DPP IV Activity by Houston Enzymes
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product has three active enzyme ingredients designed to support digestion. The two protease enzymes (Protease 4.5 and Protease 6) break down protein, while Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV is an enzyme that cleaves dipeptides — short protein fragments.
A proprietary peptidase blend is also included to further aid protein digestion. The capsule itself, along with microcrystalline cellulose and medium-chain triglycerides powder, are inactive ingredients that help deliver the enzymes.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Effectiveness data for these specific enzyme ingredients is not established in the information we hold. If you're considering this product for a particular digestive concern, your pharmacist or doctor can help you figure out whether enzyme supplementation might fit your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
The proteases in this product are generally well tolerated by most adults, though digestive upset or allergic reactions are possible — especially if you have a sensitivity to enzymes (which, rarely, can happen with people exposed to proteolytic enzymes in occupational settings). The data advises against protease use during pregnancy unless prescribed by your doctor, since safety hasn't been established.
During breastfeeding, there's too little safety data, so medical advice is needed before use. If you develop symptoms like allergic rhinitis or asthma after taking this, mention it to your healthcare provider.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product. Still, if you're on any medications you're unsure about, it's worth a quick conversation with your pharmacist before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This enzyme product is straightforward — no documented medication interactions. It's generally well tolerated by most adults.
Avoid it during pregnancy unless your doctor says otherwise, and check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before using it if you're breastfeeding. If you have a known enzyme sensitivity, talk to your pharmacist first.
