Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 What is the reasoning to use creon vs. ultrase? When was first diagnosed at 18 months, they rx.'d ultrase MT 12. He is now 4.5 years and is still on the same. We are now able to guage how many depending on how much fat and protein per snack or meal. He very rarely gets bellyaches or the type of bowel movements we all hate to see indicating wrong dosage. I was just curious as to the difference in enzymes and do the types change as the children get older? Thanks in advance to everyone who responds.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Cory has been on several types of Enzymes. Started with Pancrease, then Ultrase, on to Pancracarb and now on Creon. The reason we have switched are due tosomache issues. Cory had some scarring which is why they switched to Pancracarb. After about a year on Pancracarb Cory was having trouble gaining weight and greasy stools. So they switched again to Creon..Actually when Cory was first diagnosed he was started on viocase..That was only for a short time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Hi Maia, Pancrecarb is made by Digestivecare.com and Creon by Solvay. They are different. And I am not aware of any changes of Creon. Do you have a source for your info? Here is a link to the description of Creon Forte. It's from 1999, if there had been a change it should have a more actual date. http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Profs/Datasheet/c/Creonfortecap.htm Peace Torsten > Does the new design that you are talking about have > something to do with the change of the active part of > Creon forte? > I heard they changed the composition of the balls > inside, so that it is better absorbed by the stomach > and intestins. > Or it is a completely different product? > > Maia > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
