    The cornerstone of EPI treatment is Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT). In Australia, the most common brand is Creon. These capsules contain the exact enzymes your pancreas is failing to produce. Taking Creon is not a temporary fix; it is a vital, lifelong replacement therapy that allows you to digest food, absorb nutrients, and stop weight loss. Please refer to the Pancreatitis section for detailed Creon dosing instructions.
