Get pancrelipase (generic Creon) online prescriptions for digestion assistance

Pancrelipase is a prescription medication used to assist in the digestion of food in individuals with pancreatic insufficiency. It contains a mixture of digestive enzymes, including lipase, protease, and amylase, normally produced by the pancreas. Pancrelipase supplements these enzymes, helping to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the digestive tract, thereby improving nutrient absorption.

Pancrelipase is available under various brand names, including Creon, Pancreaze, and Zenpep, and generic versions are also available.

This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.

Pancrelipase is primarily prescribed for treating conditions involving pancreatic insufficiency, where the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes to digest food properly. It is commonly used in the following situations:

Cystic Fibrosis: Individuals with cystic fibrosis often have pancreatic insufficiency. Pancrelipase helps improve the digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.

Chronic Pancreatitis: This condition can damage the pancreatic tissue, reducing enzyme production. Pancrelipase is used to alleviate digestive problems associated with chronic pancreatitis.

Post-Pancreatic Surgery: Patients may require pancrelipase to aid digestion after certain surgical procedures involving the pancreas, such as pancreatectomy.

Pancrelipase may also be used in other medical conditions where pancreatic enzyme supplementation is necessary.

Pancrelipase use may lead to some adverse side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Mild side effects may include:

• Nausea
  
• Diarrhea
  
• Constipation
  
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
  
• Gas
  
• Bloating
  
• Heartburn
  
• Nosebleeds
  
• Increase or decrease in blood sugar
  
• Dizziness
  
  

These side effects are usually mild and can often be managed with adjustments to the dosage or administration of the medication.

More severe side effects may include:

• Sore throat
  
• Hoarseness
  
• Bowel movement difficulty
  
• Allergic reactions (such as skin rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing)
  
  

Consult your healthcare provider if you experience severe or persistent side effects.

Before starting treatment with pancrelipase, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with pancrelipase.

You should tell your healthcare provider if you have or have had:

• Intestinal surgery, blockage, or thickening of bowel wall
  
• Diabetes
  
• High or low blood sugar
  
• Gout
  
• Cancer
  
• Kidney disease
  
  

Discuss any history of allergies, especially if you are allergic to pork products, as some pancrelipase formulations are derived from porcine (pig) pancreas. In addition, tell your provider if you are lactose intolerant.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using pancrelipase to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosing of pancrelipase may vary depending on the individual, the specific condition being treated, and the formulation of pancrelipase prescribed (e.g., Creon, Pancreaze, Zenpep). Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage for your situation.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing, timing, and any other recommendations related to taking pancrelipase. Doses are typically taken with meals and snacks to aid in digestion.

Do not crush or chew pancrelipase capsules. Do not keep capsules in your mouth. Swallow pancrelipase capsules whole with water or open the capsule and sprinkle the medication on soft, acidic room-temperature food.

Do not discontinue pancrelipase without consulting your doctor, as it may affect your ability to digest food and absorb essential nutrients properly.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your regularly scheduled amount. Do not take a double dose of pancrelipase.

Pancrelipase is available by prescription only. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.
