Creon 25000 Capsule 1 Box

✔️ Uses of Creon 25000

Creon 25000 is used for the treatment of pancreatic enzyme insufficiency, which may occur due to conditions such as:

• Chronic pancreatitis
• Cystic fibrosis
• Pancreatic cancer
• Pancreatic surgery or removal of part/all of the pancreas
• Other conditions associated with inadequate pancreatic enzyme secretion

By improving digestion and nutrient absorption, Creon may help reduce symptoms associated with pancreatic enzyme deficiency, such as fatty stools, abdominal discomfort, bloating, and digestive problems.

✔️ Words of Advice:

• Always take Creon with meals or snacks.
• Do not chew or crush the capsules or enzyme granules.
• Drink sufficient water while taking the medicine.
• Take the prescribed dose consistently to ensure the enzymes are available when food is being digested.
• Do not change the dose without consulting your doctor.
• Inform your doctor if digestive symptoms continue despite treatment, as your enzyme dose may need adjustment.

✔️ Side Effects

• Abdominal pain
• Abdominal bloating
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Nausea
• Changes in bowel movements

✔️ How Creon 25000 Works

Creon supplies pancreatic enzymes that act in the digestive tract in a similar way to naturally produced pancreatic enzymes.

• Lipase breaks down dietary fats into smaller components that can be absorbed by the intestine.
• Amylase helps break down carbohydrates.
• Protease helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.

The enzymes are released in the small intestine, where they mix with food and assist normal digestion.

✔️ Dosage & Administration

Take Creon 25000 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose is individualized according to the severity of pancreatic enzyme deficiency, body weight, diet, fat content of meals, and response to treatment.

• Take Creon during or immediately after meals and snacks.
• Swallow the capsule whole with plenty of water.
• Do not crush or chew the capsules or enzyme granules, as this may reduce their effectiveness and cause irritation in the mouth.
• Take the medicine regularly with meals and snacks as directed by your doctor.

For patients who cannot swallow the capsule, the capsule may be opened and the micro-spheres mixed with a small amount of acidic soft food, such as applesauce or yogurt, or an acidic liquid as directed by a healthcare professional. The granules must not be crushed or chewed.

Do not mix the granules with non-acidic food or liquid unless specifically instructed by your healthcare professional.

✔️ Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Creon 25000. The medicine should be used when considered appropriate by the treating healthcare professional.

✔️ Inform your doctor before taking Creon if you:

• Have an allergy or hypersensitivity to porcine proteins or pancreatic enzymes
• Have gout or elevated uric acid levels
• Have asthma or other allergies
• Have diabetes
• Have a history of intestinal or bowel problems

Patients receiving high doses or long-term therapy may require appropriate medical monitoring.

Adequate fluid intake is recommended, particularly in patients at risk of dehydration.

✔️ Storage Conditions

Store according to the manufacturer's instructions and protect the medicine from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
