Experiences with

Penicillin V

Hi all, I was prescribed Creon 25000 about 3 months ago. Not great difference to how I was before since taking them but I have continued. However, due to the shortage/availability of Creon I have now been given Pancrex V 125 mg because that's all the pharmacy can obtain. Pancrex is 8 x weaker than Creon

There is no need for additional Penicillin V prophylaxis unless there are clear (separate) recurrent episodes of (lower) leg cellulitis as well. Does anyone have experience of this symptom or treatment? Many thanks in advance.
