Is Creon Safe To Take During Pregnancy?
Question: Hi, I have pancreatic insufficiency and I have been fine since taking Creon. However, I have had an IVF done and the embryo transfer was performed yesterday. I read that Creon could be unsafe during pregnancy, but I'm also worried how it will affect my health if I stop taking it. Can you please advise on Creon during pregnancy?
Thank you!
