Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Chrissy, I just read the instructions on my enzymes, which are Viokase 16, meaning that they have 16,000 units of lipase, 60,000 units of amylase and 60,000 units of protease in each tablet. It said that for patients that have had a pancreatectomy, to take one tablet of Viokase 16 EVERY TWO HOURS while awake, or as directed by a physician. That's a new one on me! Does your Creon container have a dosage and description product information paper attached to the container? The part about pancreatectomy patients is something I've not read on the descriptions before, this must be an updated manual. Just thought I'd pass that along.(smile) With love, hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina State Rep.
