We tested the dissolution time on Creon 24000®, Zenpep 25000®, and Ultresa 23000® in informal studies using ileal fluid obtained from a patient with an ileostomy. One capsule of each enzyme preparation was placed a 15 mL conical tube containing 7 mL of ileal fluid obtained from a ...
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is critical for adequate nutrition in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). This was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study assessing efficacy and safety of Creon 24,000-unit capsules in CF...
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the current standard of care for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The treatment helps the body digest and absorb nutrients from foods and liquids. PERT may be given orally or via a feeding tube. Different...
There are currently six FDA-approved pancreatic enzyme productsavailable by prescription onlyin the U.S.: Creon Pancreaze Zenpep Ultresa Viokace Pertzye What Is the Recommended Dosage for Pancreatic Enzymes? The dosage of pancreatic enzymes that’s appropriate for each person depends on factors lik...
Table 2 Treatment strategies for lack of response to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) Full size table PERT should be taken with the first bite of a meal and consider adding extra enzymes during or towards the end of the meal. Thus, if consumption of a meal is less than 15 min...
Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the standard treatment for EPI; it is regulated in many countries and most recently in the USA following a US FDA mandate for all PERT manufacturers to submit new drug applications. Pancrelipase delayed-release capsules (CREON®, Abbott, Marietta, ...

Therapy with oral pancreatic enzyme replacement as a trial is also beneficial in suspected PEI patients. Strength of recommendation and quality of evidence: 2B. When shall the treatment for PEI after pancreatic surgery be initiated? Consensus: Long-term PERT should be given to patients with total ...
