PBA occurs secondary to various otherwise unrelated neurologic conditions (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS], multiple sclerosis [MS], dementia of the Alzheimer's type [Alzheimer's disease] or other dementia, parkinsonian syndrome, stroke, traumatic brain injury) and is characterized by involuntary, sudden, uncontrollable, and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying. PBA episodes typically occur out of proportion or incongruent to the underlying emotional state.

Studies supporting efficacy in PBA were conducted in patients with underlying ALS or MS.

Hi-Vegi-Lip is a combination of digestive enzymes (proteins). These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important for digesting fats, proteins, and sugars.

Hi-Vegi-Lip is used to replace digestive enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, such as cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or pancreas surgery.

Hi-Vegi-Lip may also be used to treat a condition called steatorrhea (loose, fatty stools).

Hi-Vegi-Lip may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
