Creon SD Minimicrospheres 30 gm

Creon SD Minimicrospheres is a pancreatic enzyme supplement indicated for the treatment of pancreatin enzyme deficiency due to cystic fibrosis (an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system), chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or other conditions.

Creon SD Minimicrospheres contains Pancreatin, which is a combination of digestive enzymes such as porcine-derived lipases, proteases, and amylases. These enzymes help in the digestion of food. Creon SD Minimicrospheres mixes thoroughly with the food and helps in digestion as it passes through the gut.

In some cases, Creon SD Minimicrospheres may cause side effects such as nausea, mild stomach pain, diarrhoea, and mild skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist.

Inform your doctor if you have gout, asthma, or any other medical condition. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Creon SD Minimicrospheres may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines or have pre-existing medical conditions.

Creon SD Minimicrospheres is used in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (pancreatin enzyme deficiency). The detailed uses of Creon SD Minimicrospheres are as follows:

• Treatment of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: Creon SD Minimicrospheres compensates for the deficiency of digestive enzymes and supports digestion in conditions, such as acute or chronic pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), cystic fibrosis (a genetic disorder that damages the lungs), and pancreatic cancer.
• Treatment of Steatorrhea (Fatty Stools): Creon SD Minimicrospheres helps break down fats, reducing fat content in stools and preventing malnutrition.
• Support after Gastrointestinal Surgery: Creon SD Minimicrospheres may be used to assist digestion when the flow or production of digestive enzymes is impaired after procedures like pancreatectomy (surgical removal of the pancreas) and gastric bypass (a weight-loss surgery that reduces stomach size).
• Other Conditions with Enzyme Deficiency: Including Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (a genetic disorder affecting the pancreas, bone marrow, and skeletal system) and bile duct and pancreatic duct obstruction caused by tumours.

• Creon SD Minimicrospheres should be taken immediately after a meal or snack.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Remove the bottle cap and slide the knob upward to unlock it. Turn the bottle upside down and press the knob to dispense the prescribed dose into an acidic liquid, such as apple, pineapple, or orange juice, or onto soft foods like yogurt or applesauce. Secure the knob by sliding the lock back into place.
• Consume the mixture immediately. Do not store it for later use.
• Do not crush or chew the minimicrospheres.

• Creon SD Minimicrospheres is a pancreatic enzyme supplement used to manage exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition where the pancreas fails to produce enough digestive enzymes.
• It replaces missing digestive enzymes to help break down and absorb nutrients from food effectively.
• Treats enzyme deficiency caused by conditions like cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, or surgical removal of the pancreas.
• Helps relieve symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhoea caused by poor digestion.
• Aids in fat digestion and reduces fatty, foul-smelling stools (steatorrhea), a common symptom of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
• Improves the absorption of essential nutrients, thereby preventing malnutrition and supporting overall health.
• Helps patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency maintain or gain a healthy weight by ensuring proper digestion and nutrient uptake.
• Reduces digestive discomfort and enhances appetite and nutrition in individuals with chronic digestive enzyme deficiencies.

• Do not take Creon SD Minimicrospheres if you are allergic to pork (pig), cow, or buffalo products.
• Consult your doctor if you experience stomach pain, swelling, constipation, and vomiting, as patients taking Creon SD Minimicrospheres with cystic fibrosis may develop a rare bowel condition called fibrosing colonopathy.
• Inform your doctor before taking Creon SD Minimicrospheres if you have gout, asthma, or any other disease condition.
• Consult your doctor before taking Creon SD Minimicrospheres if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Creon SD Minimicrospheres may cause dizziness, so drive with caution.
