In some cases, Creon 10000 Capsule may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat small portions of meals 3-5 times a day, as larger meals make the digestive system work overtime.
  • Include a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
  • Avoid processed, deep-fried foods as they are hard to digest.
  • Maintain a balanced diet that includes proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. 
  • Stay hydrated by drinking enough water, as it helps the digestive system function smoothly.
