A member asked:
What will happen is someone takes creon enzyme when they don't need it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect.: Creon is a pancreatic enzyme supplement used in a condition called pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, where the body does not make enough enzymes to digest food. If your body does make those enzymes, then Creon is unnecessary, and taking it will have no effect.
