Kreon® 10000 IU – Pancreatic Enzyme Capsules for Digestion Support – 100 Capsules

Description

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:

1. Cystic Fibrosis – a genetic condition affecting pancreatic enzyme production.

2. Chronic Pancreatitis – long-term inflammation of the pancreas.

3. Post-pancreatectomy – after partial or complete removal of the pancreas.

4. Pancreatic Duct Obstruction – due to tumors or gallstones.

5. Steatorrhea – fatty stools caused by poor fat digestion.

6. 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.
