Abstract

These new preparations, Creon, Zenpep, and Pancreaze, demonstrated improvement in the absorption of fat and nitrogen in patients with pancreatic insufficiency related to cystic fibrosis. Some patient variability to response continues, so clinicians need to continue to titrate dose and preparations based on weight gain and patient response.
