Available on backorder
Introduction
Digestive health plays a critical role in overall well-being. For individuals suffering from pancreatic enzyme insufficiency, the body cannot produce enough enzymes to digest food properly. Kreon® 10000 IU offers an effective solution by replacing these missing enzymes, aiding in digestion, and preventing malnutrition.
What is Kreon® 10000 IU?
Kreon® is a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) containing natural enzymes—lipase, amylase, and protease—derived from porcine sources. These enzymes break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, ensuring proper nutrient absorption.
Each capsule contains:
Lipase: For breaking down fats.
Amylase: For breaking down carbohydrates.
Protease: For breaking down proteins.
Uses of Kreon® 10000 IU
Kreon® is prescribed for:
Cystic Fibrosis – a genetic condition affecting pancreatic enzyme production.
Chronic Pancreatitis – long-term inflammation of the pancreas.
Post-pancreatectomy – after partial or complete removal of the pancreas.
Pancreatic Duct Obstruction – due to tumors or gallstones.
Steatorrhea – fatty stools caused by poor fat digestion.
Digestive disorders due to enzyme deficiency.
How Kreon® Works
The enzymes in Kreon® act directly in the small intestine. Once the capsule reaches the intestine, its enteric-coated mini-microspheres dissolve, releasing enzymes to help break down food into absorbable nutrients.
Dosage & Administration
The dosage depends on the patient’s weight, age, and medical condition.
Usually taken with or immediately after meals.

For patients unable to swallow, capsules can be opened, and mini-microspheres sprinkled on soft food (without chewing).
