HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pancreatin 1300 by Solaray

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Pancreatin 1300 contains 2 active ingredients: pancreatin 4x and papaya. Pancreatin is an enzyme preparation that helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates — it's the digestive-support component of this product.

Papaya is added for additional enzymatic activity. The capsule also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Papaya product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Papaya's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“digestive health”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence on papaya for most conditions — including aging skin, hair loss, and various cancers — is insufficient to rate. For diabetes, the evidence we hold is also insufficient.

There's a small, low-quality clinical study showing that a fermented papaya preparation may have additive effects with diabetes medication, but that doesn't tell us how effective papaya itself is as a standalone treatment. We don't have effectiveness data on file for pancreatin 4x.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Papaya

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Ripe papaya fruit eaten in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated. Nausea and vomiting have been reported from papaya leaf extract in clinical research.

Rare severe allergic reactions are possible, and people with latex allergies are at higher risk for papaya sensitivity. Unripe (green) papaya, papaya latex, and papaya seeds should be avoided.

The product facts advise caution: concentrated papaya supplements are less well studied than whole ripe fruit, so eating moderate ripe papaya as food is likely fine, but supplement amounts are best avoided unless you've talked with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Papaya

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Papaya.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 92 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 using this product if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (Moderate interaction risk), diabetes medications (Moderate), amiodarone for heart rhythm (Moderate), or levothyroxine for thyroid (Moderate).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a digestive enzyme blend. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medication, heart rhythm drugs, or thyroid medication, you need to check with your pharmacist before using it — the papaya component has documented moderate interactions with those drug types.

Even if you don't take any of those, it's worth a quick conversation: the safety data on papaya supplements is limited, so your pharmacist can help you decide if it's right for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Pancreatin 1300 with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Papaya4 drug types · 92 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, papaya extract may increase the levels and clinical effects of amiodarone.
Animal research in rats shows that a single oral dose of papaya extract, as well as multiple doses of papaya extract daily over 14 days, prior to a single dose of amiodarone delays the time to maximum amiodarone concentration. However, only the 14-day papaya extract regimen increases systemic amiodarone exposure by 60% to 70%. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Concomitant use of antidiabetic drugs with fermented papaya can produce additive effects. It is unclear if other forms of papaya have the same effect.
A small low-quality clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are taking glibenclamide shows that taking a fermented papaya preparation 3 grams daily for 2 months decreases fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels when compared to baseline. Additionally, of the 25 patients in the study, 9 required a reduction in glibenclamide dose.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, consuming large quantities of papaya fruit can reduce the clinical effects of levothyroxine.
In one case-report, a 37-year-old male with a history of thyroidectomy who was stabilized on levothyroxine for 5 years presented with hypothyroidism after consuming 5-6 papaya fruits daily for 14 days during vacation. In a controlled re-challenge test involving 5-6 papayas daily, the patient remained euthyroid for 7 days, but developed mild hypothyroidism after 14 days. Both times, thyroid levels normalized 40-45 days after discontinuing papaya.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, concomitant use of warfarin with papain-containing papaya extract 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.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pancreatin 1300 has a known interaction with 92 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pancreatin 1300 contains 2 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.
What does pancreatin do?
Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme preparation that helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. It's meant to support your digestive system.
Is papaya safe to eat while I'm taking this supplement?
Ripe papaya fruit eaten in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated. The safety concern here is more about concentrated supplements — the product facts note that we have limited reliable safety information on supplement amounts of papaya, so whole ripe fruit is likely fine but supplements are best discussed with your pharmacist first.
Can papaya help with diabetes?
There's a small, low-quality study showing a fermented papaya preparation may have additive effects with diabetes medication, but we don't have solid evidence that papaya itself treats diabetes. The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it for that use.
What are the most common side effects of papaya?
When used as a supplement, nausea and vomiting have been reported, particularly from papaya leaf extract. When eaten as ripe fruit in normal amounts, it's generally well tolerated.
I'm allergic to latex — should I avoid this?
