CREON can help break down food into nutrients
CREON 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.1
Taken as prescribed, CREON replaces enzymes that your pancreas isn’t producing, helping you digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (sugars) in food.1

Your doctor should prescribe your CREON dose specifically for you, based on things like your body weight and your diet—so make sure you take CREON exactly as your doctor tells you.
If you’ve been prescribed CREON, these are the things you need to know:
It’s important to take
CREON every time you eat, whether it’s a full meal or snack. Don’t forget to take CREON with you when you’re on the go—especially when you’re eating out. Always take CREON with enough liquid to swallow your dose without crushing or chewing it.
Keep track of what you are eating and how you are feeling. Tracking your diet and symptoms will help your doctor determine if your CREON dose needs to be adjusted.
Communicate with your doctor regularly and share how you’re feeling. It’s important to schedule follow-up visits to maintain an ongoing conversation about your symptoms.
