Description
Creon Micro Granules
Creon Micro Granules is a pancreatic enzyme supplement for people whose bodies do not make enough enzymes to digest their food. They contain a mixture of the natural enzymes which are used to digest food, sourced from pig pancreas glands, and work by digesting food as it passes through the gut.
Directions
Each bottle of Creon Micro Granules is supplied with a scoop measure and contains approximately 200 measures.
Always follow the doctor or dietician's advice on how many granules to give.
The usual starting dose is 100mg (one measure). The maximum amount you may give should not be greater than 10,000 units lipase/kg/day.
If the doctor advises you to increase the dose you give, you should do so slowly.
If the patient still has fatty stools or abdominal pain, talk to the doctor or dietician.
Always give Creon Micro during or immediately after a meal or a snack and provide plenty of water.
- Mix the granules (without crushing) with acidic liquid (e.g. apple, orange or pineapple juice) or soft food (e.g. apple sauce or yoghurt).
- Swallow the mixture straight away, without chewing.
- Drink plenty of liquid every day.
- Mixing with non-acidic food or liquid, crushing or chewing of the pellets may cause irritation in your mouth or change the way Creon Micro works in your body.
- Do not hold Creon Micro in your mouth.
- Do not store the mixture.
