The enzymes should be taken immediately before eating meals or snacks.The client should wipe his or her lips carefully after drinking the enzyme preparation because the liquid could damage the skin.If the client cannot swallow the capsules whole,they can be opened up and the powder sprinkled on applesauce,mashed fruit,or rice cereal.Protein items will be dissolved by the enzymes if they are mixed together.
