Kreon 10000IU 100 Capsules

KREON 10000IU 100 CAPSULES PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Kreon (pancrelipase) is a combination of three enzymes (proteins): lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.

Kreon is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, or blockage of the pancreatic ducts.

Kreon may also be used following surgical removal of the pancreas.

Kreon may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

• Kreon comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Kreon refilled.

• Take Kreon by mouth with each meal or snack as directed by your doctor.

• Swallow Kreon whole with enough liquid to swallow it completely. Do not break, crush, chew, or hold Kreon in your mouth before swallowing. Doing so may increase the risk of mouth irritation from Kreon. Follow with a glass of water or juice. Contact your doctor if you experience mouth irritation while taking Kreon.
