Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 12 of its 12 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Pan-Ox-5 contains 12 active ingredients, most of them digestive enzymes designed to support digestion. Papain is a protein-breaking enzyme from papaya.

Lipase, pepsin, pancreatin, and proteolytic enzymes (via protease) all help break down fats or proteins in food. Diastase breaks down starches.

Rennin and Aspergillus Oryza are enzymes that aid digestion further. The product also includes ox bile extract to help with fat digestion, beet root powder for nutrient content, citrus pectin for fiber, betaine to support stomach acid, and glutamic acid.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients like cellulose, vegetable stearate, myrrh gum, and silica.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive enzyme supplement.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Wound healing, Diarrhea, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Papain is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Wound healing.
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Dyspepsia.

The evidence for most of Pan-Ox-5's ingredients is not well established. For papain, there is insufficient reliable evidence for cancer, dental cavities, radiation skin damage, exercise muscle soreness, shingles, or parasite infection.

Beet root powder shows possibly effective evidence for athletic performance and possibly effective for exercise-related muscle soreness, but only possibly ineffective for chronic lung disease (COPD). Citrus pectin is possibly effective for high cholesterol, but there is insufficient evidence for blood sugar control or radiation exposure.

For lipase, pepsin, and the other enzymes, we hold no effectiveness data in our records.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most ingredients in Pan-Ox-5 are generally well tolerated at normal doses. Papain can cause allergic reactions, including itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, stomach cramps, and diarrhea in sensitive people.

Beet may cause red or black stools (harmless) and rarely low calcium or kidney damage with very large amounts. Citrus pectin may cause gas, loose stools, and mild cramps, and rarely allergic reactions including severe reactions in sensitive individuals.

Pepsin and lipase may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Papain is best avoided in pregnancy due to safety concerns, and you should not take concentrated papain while breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data.

There is limited safety data for lipase, pectin supplements, and pepsin in pregnancy and breastfeeding—talk with your doctor before using if you are pregnant or nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, Beet, Pectin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 882 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist before taking Pan-Ox-5 if you use warfarin (Moderate interaction with papain), lovastatin (Moderate with citrus pectin), tetracycline antibiotics (Moderate with citrus pectin), or digoxin (Moderate with citrus pectin). Beet root powder may affect medications broken down by CYP3A4 liver enzymes (Moderate) or CYP1A2 enzymes (Minor), and could theoretically lower blood pressure (Minor).

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Pan-Ox-5 with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Beet root powder3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Beet root powder full monograph & interactions

Citrus Pectin3 drug types · 23 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of digoxin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking digoxin with a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of digoxin by about 62%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, or the combination.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Lovastatin (Mevacor)

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of lovastatin, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of pectin and lovastatin might reduce the cholesterol-lowering effect of lovastatin, possibly due to reduced intestinal absorption of lovastatin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, pectin might reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, potentially decreasing their effectiveness.
A small clinical study shows that taking tetracycline with bismuth subsalicylate in a kaolin-pectin suspension reduces the absorption of tetracycline by about 34%. It is unclear if these effects are due to pectin, kaolin, bismuth subsalicylate, or the combination.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Citrus Pectin full monograph & interactions

Papain1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Pan-Ox-5 by Douglas Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Pan-Ox-5 by Douglas Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pan-Ox-5 has a known interaction with 881 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pan-Ox-5 contains 12 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does Pan-Ox-5 actually help with digestion?
The product contains enzymes and bile extract designed to aid digestion, but we don't hold effectiveness data for most of these ingredients in our records. Talk to your pharmacist about whether a digestive enzyme blend makes sense for your situation.
Can I take Pan-Ox-5 if I'm pregnant?
Papain is best avoided in pregnancy. For the other ingredients, there isn't enough safety data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Can I take Pan-Ox-5 while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for papain, lipase, pepsin, or citrus pectin while breastfeeding. Check with your healthcare provider first before using this product.
What are the most common side effects?
Papain may cause allergic reactions like itchy eyes or sneezing in sensitive people. Beet root can cause red or black stools (harmless). Citrus pectin may cause gas, loose stools, or mild stomach cramps. Most people tolerate these ingredients without problems.
Can I take this if I have a papaya allergy?
Papain is derived from papaya, so if you have a papaya allergy, you could have an allergic reaction to this product. Skip it and talk to your pharmacist about alternatives.
Why is the medication count so high?
Pan-Ox-5 contains ingredients that interact with multiple drug categories—for example, beet root can affect how your liver processes many different medications. The total reflects all individual drugs across all these interactions combined.
