Kreon (Pancreas Powder)

Pancreas Powder contains a blend of pancreatic enzymes that mimic the natural enzymes produced by the pancreas. When taken with meals, the enzymes act in the small intestine to hydrolyze dietary fats, starches and proteins, compensating for the patient’s deficient enzyme production and facilitating normal digestion and absorption.

The appropriate dose of Kreon is individualized and determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Dosage depends on factors such as the patient’s age, weight, severity of enzyme deficiency, and the fat content of the diet. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their physician or pharmacist.

Limited clinical data are available on the use of Kreon during pregnancy or lactation. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss the therapy with their healthcare provider.

To request Kreon, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets. After the enquiry, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Kreon provides a comprehensive mix of lipase, amylase and protease similar to other prescription pancreatic enzyme preparations. Its formulation is designed for oral administration with meals and offers consistent enzyme activity. Compared with over‑the‑counter supplements, Kreon is a regulated, prescription‑only product with standardized potency and quality controls required by EU regulations.

Kreon should be stored at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date. No special refrigeration is required for this oral powder formulation.

Kreon is taken orally with each main meal and snack that contains fat. The powder is usually mixed with a small amount of water or soft food as directed by the prescribing physician. Patients should not crush or chew the capsules if they are in capsule form, and should follow the timing recommendations to maximize enzyme activity.

The most serious adverse events linked to Kreon are pancreatitis and severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience intense abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or any signs of a systemic allergic response while using the product.

Kreon is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to pork-derived proteins or any of the enzyme components. Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to pancreatic enzyme preparations should avoid its use. Additionally, it should not be used without medical supervision in patients who have not been diagnosed with pancreatic enzyme deficiency.
