Creon 10000 Capsules 150mg x 100 | Lipase, Protease, Amylase

Creon 10000 is a prescription pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) used to support digestion in people with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Each capsule contains gastro-resistant minimicrospheres of pancreatin that deliver enzymes to the small intestine, where they help break down fat, protein and carbohydrates. Taken with meals and snacks, Creon 10000 helps reduce fatty, oily stools and digestive discomfort and supports better absorption of nutrients. The 100-capsule bottle supports consistent day-to-day use as advised by your healthcare professional.


Active Ingredients (per capsule)

  • Pancreatin 150 mg (porcine-derived) providing approximately:

    • Lipase 10,000 units

    • Amylase 8,000 units

    • Protease 600 units
      Gastro-resistant minimicrospheres in a hard gelatin capsule. Check the carton for full excipients.


Reasons to Use

  • Clinically diagnosed EPI due to conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery, pancreatic cancer, or other causes of reduced pancreatic enzyme output.

  • Symptoms of maldigestion including steatorrhoea (fatty stools), bloating, abdominal discomfort, excessive gas, weight loss, or fat-soluble vitamin deficiency—use under medical guidance.

  • To help improve nutrient absorption and support healthy weight maintenance when combined with appropriate diet.

Reasons Not to Use

  • Allergy to pancreatin, pork proteins, gelatin, or any component of the capsule.

  • During an acute pancreatitis flare or acute phase of pancreatitis (unless directed by a doctor).

  • Use with caution and medical advice if you have gout/hyperuricaemia, intestinal strictures, or severe gastrointestinal disease.

  • Not suitable for people who require non-animal products.


Advantages

  • Targeted, gastro-resistant minimicrospheres release enzymes in the small intestine for effective digestion.

  • Balanced enzyme profile (lipase, amylase, protease) to aid fats, carbs and proteins.

  • Flexible mealtime dosing—can be used with meals and snacks as advised.

  • Well-established therapy for EPI with a range of strengths for titration.

Disadvantages

  • Must be taken every time you eat for best results.

  • Porcine-derived; not suitable for certain dietary or cultural preferences.

  • Possible gastrointestinal side effects (see FAQ).


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is Creon 10000 used for?
A: For exocrine pancreatic insufficiency—when the pancreas doesn’t make enough enzymes to digest food. Creon supplies those enzymes to help digest fat, protein and carbohydrates.

Q: How do I take it?
A: Take during or immediately after meals and snacks so the enzymes mix with food. Swallow capsules whole with fluid. If you cannot swallow capsules, your clinician may advise opening the capsule and sprinkling the minimicrospheres on a small amount of acidic soft food (e.g., applesauce). Do not crush or chew the minimicrospheres; swallow immediately and follow with water.

Q: How is the dose decided?
A: Dosing is individual and guided by your doctor/dietitian based on body weight, fat content of meals, symptoms and nutritional goals. Never change your dose without professional advice.

Q: What if I forget a dose?
A: Take it with your next meal or snack. Do not take extra capsules to make up for a missed dose.

Q: Are there side effects?
A: Some people experience abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence, or perianal irritation. Rarely, allergic reactions can occur. Very high doses over long periods have been associated with fibrosing colonopathy in certain populations—use only as directed and report persistent abdominal symptoms to your doctor.

Q: Can I take Creon with other medicines or supplements?
A: Your healthcare professional will review potential interactions and timing (for example, with acid-suppressing therapy or vitamins). Always tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements you take.

Q: Can children use Creon?
A: Yes—PERT is commonly used in paediatric EPI, but dosing must be set by a paediatric specialist.

Q: Any dietary tips while using Creon?
A: Follow your clinician’s nutrition plan. Many people benefit from balanced fat intake, adequate hydration, and fat-soluble vitamin monitoring. Take enzymes with every meal and snack for best results.

Q: How should I store it?
A: Store below the temperature stated on pack, tightly closed, in a dry place away from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Q: Does Creon contain pork?
A: Yes. Enzymes are derived from porcine sources.
