The gastro-resistant minimicrospheres are designed to mix with food and release their enzymes in the small intestine. This formulation helps the enzymes work where they are needed during digestion.

How to Use

Take Kreon 25000 during or immediately after meals or snacks, exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The dose is individualized according to the severity of pancreatic enzyme deficiency and the amount and composition of food consumed. The product information states that treatment may initially involve one or two capsules during or immediately after each meal, with adjustments made according to response.

Swallow the capsules with sufficient liquid. Do not chew or crush the minimicrospheres, because this can damage their protective coating and reduce their effectiveness. If swallowing is difficult, the capsule may be opened and the granules mixed with suitable acidic soft food or acidic liquid and taken immediately; the granules should still not be chewed.
