Creon 40000 Capsule contains pancreatin (400 mg), which works in the body through several mechanisms:

• Breakdown of Fats: Pancreatin contains lipase enzymes which help break down fats in your food making it easier for your body to absorb them.

• Carbohydrate Digestion: Pancreatin also contains amylase enzymes that aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars that can be easily absorbed by your small intestine.

• Protein Digestion: Protease enzymes present in pancreatin help in breaking down proteins into amino acids which are then absorbed by your small intestine.

  The enteric coating on the capsule ensures these enzymes are released in the duodenum, where they mix with food and start the digestive process.

• Store Creon 40000 Capsule at a steady room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, shielding it from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep the container tightly shut.

• Make sure you place this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use the capsule before the expiry date printed on the package.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to enable effective nutrient absorption. This helps manage conditions like exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) which Creon 40000 Capsule is taken for.

• Regular exercise can help reduce symptoms like bloating or abdominal pain associated with EPI. Aim for mild to moderate activities such as walking or yoga, but always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
