As you start out on CREON, use the Treatment Tracker to track the first few weeks of therapy. If you’re experiencing any symptoms, call your doctor and schedule a follow-up appointment. Share your Treatment Tracker results with your doctor and discuss how your current treatment plan is going. Your doctor may decide to adjust your dose based on your symptoms, diet, and other factors.
Whether it’s a full meal or a snack, take CREON every time you eat. Remember to follow your treatment plan closely and take CREON exactly as prescribed. If you miss a dose, don’t double up; just take it with your next meal or snack.
I take CREON any time I eat. My dose is larger for a meal vs a small snack. Taking CREON easily fits in my schedule as I just think of it as part of my meals now.
It may seem like there's a lot to learn about EPI (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) and CREON, but this brochure can help you navigate different topics and provide you with the answers you need as you're starting treatment.
CREON’s patient support programs offer financial savings, multivitamins, and educational resources.
CREON® (pancrelipase) is a prescription medicine used to treat people who cannot digest food normally because their pancreas does not make enough enzymes due to cystic fibrosis, swelling of the pancreas that lasts a long time (chronic pancreatitis), removal of some or all of the pancreas (pancreatectomy), or other conditions.
Refer to the CREON Medication Guide and full Prescribing Information every time you refill your prescription because information may change. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any symptom or side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
