Description

Creon medication aids in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars. It comprises a blend of lipase, protease, and amylase, which are enzymes naturally produced by the pancreas to facilitate digestion. Insufficient enzyme production in the body can result from various factors such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatic inflammation, or pancreatic duct blockage. Creon can help compensate for the enzyme deficiency caused by these conditions.
