Key Takeaways:
- Creon replaces the digestive enzymes your pancreas can no longer produce — enabling you to digest food, absorb nutrients, and maintain nutrition, taken with every meal and snack for cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic surgery
- Monthly costs often reach $400–$1,200+ depending on strength and dosing — with the 36,000- unit capsules costing $1,227–$1,705 per 100 capsules
- AffordMyPrescriptions provides access for just $69.95 per month — with up to 12 months of medication at no cost for qualifying patients
- No generic version of Creon is currently available, though other brand-name pancrelipase products may offer alternative pricing
What Is Creon Prescription Assistance Program?
The Creon Prescription Assistance Program provides up to 12 months of Creon at no medication cost to qualifying patients, with the option to reapply. For commercially insured CF patients, a dedicated savings program reduces costs to $0. For non-CF patients, a savings card reduces costs to $5/month ($3,000/year max).
AffordMyPrescriptions ensures the digestive enzymes your body needs are never out of reach. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates manage your enrollment, determine the right savings program for your specific EPI cause, and coordinate your high-volume refill schedule.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Creon costs hundreds of dollars or more per month at retail pharmacies. Discount programs offer some relief, but they don’t come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides, if you qualify:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens | ~$226 | Save ~$156/mo |
| CVS Pharmacy | ~$135 | Save ~$65/mo |
| Walmart | ~$438 | Save ~$368/mo |
| Costco | ~$437 | Save ~$367/mo |
*Just a heads-up — retail prices are estimates based on public data and vary by pharmacy. AffordMyPrescriptions Advocacy Service bypasses this by using drug manufacturer programs to secure your medication directly at no cost or retail price.

Understanding Creon:
Creon (pancrelipase) is a prescription pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, or other conditions. It contains three digestive enzymes derived from porcine pancreas: lipase (digests fats), protease (digests proteins), and amylase (digests carbohydrates).
How It Works:
Each delayed-release capsule contains enzyme-containing microspheres with a protective coating. The coating shields enzymes from stomach acid. In the small intestine, the coating dissolves, releasing lipase, protease, and amylase to break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates — just as your pancreas would if functioning normally.
Form and Use:
Available in 3,000 to 36,000 lipase unit strengths. Taken with every meal (3–6 capsules) and snack (1–2 capsules). Swallow whole with liquid. For patients who cannot swallow, capsules can be opened and microspheres sprinkled onto acidic soft food like applesauce.
Generic Availability:
No generic Creon is available. Other brand-name pancrelipase products (Zenpep, Pancreaze, Pertzye) exist but are distinct formulations, not generic equivalents. Switching brands should only be done under medical supervision.
Warnings:
Not safe for patients with pork allergies (derived from porcine pancreas). Do not chew capsule contents. Do not change dose without consulting your healthcare provider.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How much does Creon cost without insurance?
Creon costs $135–$1,705 per 100 capsules depending on strength. Monthly costs often reach $400–$1,200+. The CF savings program offers $0/month. The non-CF card offers $5/month. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Creon at no cost for $69.95/month.
How many capsules do I take per meal?
Dosing is individualized. Adults typically take 2–4 capsules of higher strengths per meal and 1–2 per snack. Your doctor adjusts based on symptoms and nutritional status.
Do I take Creon with every meal and snack?
Yes. You must take Creon with every meal and snack containing fat, protein, or carbohydrates. The enzymes cannot be stored in the body.
Is Creon safe for people with pork allergies?
No. Creon is derived from porcine (pig) pancreas. All currently FDA-approved pancreatic enzyme products are porcine-derived.
