What is Pancrelipase?

Creon 180000 [USP'U]/1 is a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy designed to aid digestion in individuals with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This delayed-release capsule contains pancrelipase, helping to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Ideal for those needing digestive support, Creon is manufactured by AbbVie Inc. in the USA.

What is Pancrelipase used for?

Creon 180000 [USP'U]/1 is primarily used to manage exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes. This medication helps the body digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates more effectively.

Some users might experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating or gas, as the body adjusts to the enzyme supplementation. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to minimize potential side effects.

What precautions apply to Pancrelipase?

Creon 180000 [USP'U]/1 should be stored at room temperature and kept out of reach of children. It is essential to swallow the capsules whole and not crush or chew them to ensure the delayed-release mechanism works effectively.
