Experiences with

Pancrex V

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 25000. I was taking 3 Creon with a main meal so that means I now have to try and gulp down 24 capsules with dinner. Not fun !

I have a choice of Creon or Pancrex V. Any advice? Thanks

Hi, How is everyone doing their routine blood draws these days? I'm a kidney transplant and pancreas transplant patient and I'm afraid of going to my local lab which is highly populated and would put me at a risk of COVID-19 infection.

I am SC, and I am just getting to know there's a prevalent chest infection in SCD patients. My ignorance had almost caused me my life, cause I had Sepsis through the infection, but I am still alive.
