Pancrelipase is one of several FDA-approved pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies (PERTs) used to treat exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). While all prescription PERTs contain lipase, amylase, and protease, they differ in formulation, dosing flexibility, and delivery methods. Here’s how pancrelipase products compare:
Creon (pancrelipase):
Creon is widely prescribed and offers a broad range of strengths. Its enteric-coated microspheres ensure enzymes are released in the small intestine. It’s approved for both adults and children with EPI from cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or surgery.
Zenpep (pancrelipase):
Zenpep uses delayed-release capsules similar to Creon but is often favored in pediatric care for its tolerability and easy mixing with soft foods. It also offers a variety of dosing options.
Pancreaze (pancrelipase):
Pancreaze delivers enzymes via enteric-coated microtabs. It’s effective for EPI and may be preferred by patients who experience side effects with other PERTs. It comes in multiple strengths for flexible dosing.
Ultresa (pancrelipase):
Ultresa offers fewer strengths than Creon or Zenpep but may suit those needing a simpler regimen. It uses enteric-coated microspheres and is FDA-approved for cystic fibrosis and other EPI-related conditions.
Non-prescription enzyme supplements:
Over-the-counter digestive enzyme supplements are not FDA-approved for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and should not be used as substitutes for prescription pancreatic enzyme replacement therapies. Only FDA-approved therapies should be used to manage pancreatic insufficiency under medical guidance.
