Creon

So I have been on Ultrase MT 20 4 ever. And now I am incoroporating Creon so I can then transition into Creon fully. I am currently taking Creon for one meal a day and then the Ultrase for the other meals per my nutritionist at my CF Clinic.

So far I have noticed the following and wanted to see if anyone else has had this:

1. The capsules smell horrid and taste horrid!

2. feel a bit dizzy, weird, but I thought I saw that could be a side effect maybe? Don't see why or how?

Thanks

I made the same transition a couple months ago.

I agree with you about the smell, but I've become somewhat immune to the taste of almost all meds, fortunately.

I didn't experience any dizziness, but for the first few days after completing the change, I did have slight stomachaches, similar to the ones I'd have if I forgot to take my enzymes, only toned down. They only lasted a few days, and then I was fine.

Sorry I don't have much else to share, but that's my little story. I hope the dizziness goes away quickly.
