Creon is a pancreatic enzyme supplement used in a condition called pancreatic exocrine insufficiency where the body does not make enough enzymes to digest food. This condition appears in several different patients including those with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or patients who have had upper gastrointestinal surgery. People with a deficiency of pancreatic enzymes often suffer with symptoms of diarrhoea, steatorrhea (foul fatty stools which float in the toilet), bloating and weight loss. These symptoms appear because the body is unable to digest food normally. When this happens your body's ability to absorb important nutrients from food is impaired and leads to malnutrition. If left untreated these symptoms can affect your quality of life and a poor nutritional status could have long term health implications. The supplementation of pancreatic enzymes using Creon helps restore the normal digestive action in your body to relieve abdominal symptoms and improve nutritional status.
Each CREON 10,000 capsule contains Pancreatin Extract 150mg equivalent to not less than lipase 10,000 Ph.Eur. units, amylase 8,000 Ph.Eur. units and protease 600 Ph. Eur. units.
Inactive ingredients in CREON 10,000 capsules are: macrogol 4000, hypromellose phthalate, cetyl alcohol, triethyl citrate, dimeticone 1000, gelatin, iron oxide red, iron oxide black, iron oxide yellow, titanium dioxide and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor carefully.
Drink plenty of water every day when you are taking Creon capsules.
Store in a cool dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C. Please note that in warmer climates it may be necessary to store Creon capsules in the refrigerator. After opening use within 6 months.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Please read leaflet included in packaging before you start taking Creon. If symptoms persist see your doctor or healthcare professional.
Vitamin and mineral supplements are not a replacement for a healthy diet. Vitamins and minerals can only be of assistance if dietary intake is inadequate.

You should avoid taking antacids, which are medicines that are used to treat heartburn and indigestion, when taking Creon capsules. Antacids may affect how well Creon capsules work by breaking down the special coating used to protect the pancreatic enzymes. If it is necessary to take an antacid, then it should be taken at least one hour before you take your Creon capsules.
Make sure you tell your doctor if you are still having problems with fatty stools or abdominal pain while you are taking Creon capsules.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Creon capsules.
Creon capsules help most people whose bodies do not make enough enzymes to digest their food, but it may have unwanted side effects in a few people. All medicines can have side effects.

Do not be alarmed by this list of possible side effects. You may not experience any of them.
The active ingredient in Creon capsules is an extract of pancreatic powder of porcine origin (pigs), therefore the presence of porcine parvovirus or other porcine viruses cannot be totally excluded. However, there is no evidence of transmission of these viruses to humans or of porcine pancreatic powder extracts causing illness in humans.
