Safely Buy Creon 25 ( Pancreatic enzyme ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Creon 25 is a medication used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). EPI is a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food. Creon 25 contains pancreatic enzymes that help improve the digestion of foods, especially fat. It comes in the form of delayed-release capsules.

The active ingredient in Creon 25 is pancrelipase, which is a combination of porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases.

Use and Dosage

Some brands of this medication have a Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist. If one is available, read the Medication Guide before you start taking this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with meals and snacks as directed by your doctor. Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush or chew the capsules or keep the capsules in your mouth. Doing so can irritate the mouth and change the way the medication works.

If swallowing is difficult, then the capsule may be opened and the contents mixed in a small amount of liquid or soft food that does not need to be chewed (such as room-temperature applesauce). Do not mix the contents of the capsule with alkaline food or liquid (such as milk, ice cream, or tea). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information about what foods/liquids (such as infant formula, and breast milk) to avoid when mixing. Swallow the food or liquid right away, making sure not to chew the medication. Drink a glass of water or juice after swallowing the food to make sure all the medication is swallowed. Do not save the medication mixture for later.

Dosage is based on your medical condition, diet, weight, and response to treatment. Do not take more capsules in a day than prescribed by your doctor. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.
