Hi all, my partner is struggling with significant weight loss since starting chemo, lost over 6kg in 4 weeks (2 chemo sessions).

She just can't swallow the Creon tablets without gagging & vomiting.

Can she be prescribed Creons in powdered format?

Thanks.

  • Hi  

    My husband was prescribed Creon tablets for his pancreatic cancer. Although he has no problem swallowing them, it does say on the information leaflet that the tablets can be opened and the powder sprinkled into certain drinks and food. Maybe it would be worthwhile to have a look to see if your wife's Creon tablet instructions say the same.
