Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 They are the same thing. Lipram is the generic name, like Advil and acetomenophen. It is the same thing just check the number behind it. I take Lipram 10 and it is the same thing as creon 10. How are you feeling Cecilia? Have you gone back to work yet? I hae had a bit of a set back with pain but I think it is from the incision. I hope your feeling better. Be sure to drink plenty of water with the creon it helps with how your intestines supply it to the blood stream and also reduces the gas.

Patty, Actually, Lipram is a different enteric-coated enzyme than Creon. Creon has mini- microbeads in it's capsule, while Lipram only has microbeads in theirs. The actual content of the enzymes are slightly different. The reason I know this is that while I was at the PAI Symposium two years ago, a rep from the manufacturers of Creon was there, marketing their product. At the time, I was taking Lipram-20's, which had been substituted for the Ultrase-20's I took before. The sales rep was trying to get me to switch to the Creon, saying that it was a more effective enzyme. I did sample the Creon for about a week, and had some problems with cramping and discomfort. I understand now that this a common side effect initially, but it stops within the first few weeks. In the end, my GI talked me into switching to Viokase, with Protonix taken beforehand, and that enzyme has worked very well for me. With love, hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.
