Kreon 10000 IU Capsules Price In Pakistan
Kreon 10000 IU Capsules contain pancreatin, a combination of digestive enzymes including lipase, amylase, and protease. They are used for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, a condition in which the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes to properly digest food. The enzymes help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the small intestine.
Benefits
- Supports Digestion: Helps the body digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
- Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement: Replaces digestive enzymes that may be insufficient because of pancreatic disease or surgery.
- Helps Nutrient Absorption: Supports digestion and absorption of nutrients when pancreatic enzyme production is inadequate.
- May Reduce Maldigestion Symptoms: Can help manage symptoms associated with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency when appropriately dosed.
- Meal-Based Treatment: Designed to release digestive enzymes in the small intestine alongside food.

How To Use
- Take Kreon during or immediately after meals and snacks.
- The exact dose should be individualized according to your condition, symptoms, and the amount of fat in your diet.
- Swallow the capsules whole with sufficient water.
- Do not crush or chew the capsules or enzyme granules, as this can damage their protective coating.
- If swallowing is difficult, the capsule may be opened and the granules mixed with a small amount of acidic soft food or acidic liquid, according to the product instructions. The mixture should be consumed immediately.
- If you miss a dose, take the next dose with your next meal or snack rather than taking an extra dose.
Important: Do not determine your own enzyme dose. Higher doses may be required for some patients, but dosing should be adjusted by a healthcare professional. Excessively high pancreatic enzyme doses have been associated with fibrosing colonopathy, particularly in patients with cystic fibrosis.
