Creon® Capsules contain pancreatin, a combination of pancreatic digestive enzymes formulated to support the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates when the pancreas does not produce or release sufficient digestive enzymes.

Each capsule contains gastro-resistant minimicrospheres designed to mix with food in the stomach and release pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine. Creon® supports more complete digestion, improved nutrient absorption, and relief of digestive symptoms associated with pancreatic enzyme insufficiency.

Available in multiple strengths and package sizes to accommodate individualized enzyme requirements.
