  Comments :
  |
  The capsules contain enteric coated beads. They can be mixed with acidic food such as apple puree, but not alkaline foods or antacids as these will dissolve the coating. Do not crush the beads. Give with fluid. The dose will most likely be a portion of a capsule, if so estimate the portion and discard the remainder. There are reports of high doses causing colonic strictures. Pancrease is a much larger capsule, filled with larger beads, and is less popular than Creon.
