Description
Creon 10000 Capsules
Please note: brand may vary.
Creon 10000 Capsules are a pancreatic enzyme supplement for people whose bodies do not make enough enzymes to digest their food (pancreatic exocrine insufficiency). They contain a mixture of the natural enzymes which are used to digest food, taken from pig pancreas glands, and work by digesting food as it passes through the gut.
Directions
Always follow your doctor or dietician’s advice on how many capsules to take. If your doctor advises you to increase the number of capsules you take, you should do so slowly. If you still have fatty stools or abdominal pain, talk to your doctor or dietician.
- Always take Creon 10000 during or immediately after eating a meal or a snack and drink plenty of water.
Swallow the capsules whole or open the capsules and mix the granules (without crushing) with acidic liquid (e.g. apple, orange or pineapple juice) or soft food (e.g. apple sauce or yoghurt). Swallow the mixture straight away, without chewing. - Drink plenty of liquid every day.
- Mixing with non-acidic food or liquid, crushing or chewing of the pellets may cause irritation in your mouth or change the way Creon works in your body.
- Do not hold Creon capsules or its content in your mouth.
- Do not store the mixture.
You should take your medicine until your doctor tells you to stop. Many patients will need to take pancreatic enzyme supplements for the rest of their lives.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Pancreatin 150mg, equivalent to: 10000 PhEur units of Lipase, 8000 PhEur units of Amylase and 600 PhEur units of Protease.
- Other Ingredients: Dependent on brand.
Cautions
- Do not take Creon 10000 Capsules if you are allergic to pork, any pig product, or to any of the other ingredients.
- A rare bowel condition called “fibrosing colonopathy”, where your gut is narrowed, has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis taking high dose pancreatin products. If you have cystic fibrosis and take in excess of 10,000 lipase units per kilogram per day and have unusual abdominal symptoms or changes in abdominal symptoms tell your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant (Creon 10000 can be used while breastfeeding).
- Please tell your doctor, dietician or pharmacist if you think that you should not take Creon 10000 for any other reason.
