A member asked:

How long does it take for creon to work on gi problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A very short time: Creon works locally in the GI track. It is not absorbed and does not accumulate in the system. The important thing is to take enough of the drug. As much as 10 pills before meals may be needed for an effect.
