Kreon 10,000 hard capsules with gastro-resistant coated pellets, 200 pieces

Support for inadequate pancreatic function

The pancreas plays a crucial role in the digestive process.Impaired function can lead to various digestive problems that affect the quality of life of those affected.Kreon 10,000 capsules can help treat these digestive disorders and thus improve the quality of life.

Effective for chronic pancreatitis

Chronic and acute pancreatitis can have various causes.In chronic inflammation, the function of the pancreas is restricted, which leads to disorders of the digestive system.The pancreatin contained in Creon 10000 can counteract these digestive disorders.Pancreatin contains enzymes that are very similar to those in the human digestive system and therefore support digestion.

Also for patients with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is an inborn error of metabolism that is often associated with pancreatic dysfunction.This malfunction leads to digestive disorders.Kreon 10000 can also help to relieve the symptoms here.Since the pancreatin it contains is very similar to the body's own enzymes, it is well tolerated.

The dosage and duration of use of Kreon 10000 should be in consultation with the treating doctor.This information depends on the severity and severity of the dysfunction.No prescription is required for this product.

Area of application

Kreon 10000 contains a mixture of enzymes called pancreatin, which supports digestion.The enzymes are obtained from pig pancreases.The preparation contains small enteric-coated pellets that slowly release pancreatin into the intestine.It is used for digestive disorders due to inadequate or missing pancreatic function and for cystic fibrosis to support the inadequate pancreatic function.

Contraindications

The medicine must not be taken if there is proven hypersensitivity to pork or another component of the preparation.It must also not be taken during the highly developed disease phase of acute pancreatitis and during acute attacks of chronic pancreatitis.However, taking it may make sense if a digestive disorder continues after an acute episode of inflammation has subsided.

Dosage

Always take the medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.The dosage is measured in lipase units and depends on your condition, your weight, your diet and the fat content in your stool.The usual dose for a main meal is between 20,000 and 80,000 lipase units.If you continue to have fatty stools or other stomach or intestinal problems, talk to your doctor as the dosage may need to be adjusted.

Keep taking the medicine until your doctor tells you you can stop.In many cases, you have to permanently compensate for the lack of your own pancreatic enzymes.

If you have taken more of the preparation than you should, drink plenty of water and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.If you have taken too little or have forgotten to take it, please continue the therapy as recommended without independently increasing the following dose.Do not stop taking this medicine without first speaking to your doctor.

Intake

Always take the capsules during or immediately after a meal or snack.Swallow the capsules whole with enough liquid.Do not break or chew the capsules.If it is difficult to swallow the capsules, open them carefully and add the pellets to a small amount of soft, acidic food.Swallow the mixture immediately without crushing or chewing it and drink some water or juice afterwards. Make sure that the capsules or pellets are swallowed whole and that no residue remains in the mouth, as Creon loses its effect when chewed and the enzymes it contains can damage the mucous membrane if released into the oral cavity.

Patient information

The possibility of intestinal strictures should be considered in cases of intestinal strictures, which are known complications in patients with cystic fibrosis.No effects are expected in terms of impairment of the ability to drive or use machines.

Pregnancy

There is insufficient experience with the use of the drug in pregnant women.If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not take the product unless your doctor considers it absolutely necessary.
