Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us.

These medications are used in the treatment of pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. But for a difference in concentration, the active ingredients are the same. See the differences between these medications as detailed below:


Creon 25000: amylase: 18,000, lipase 25000 and protease 1000
Viokace: 78300 amylase, 20880 lipase and 78,300 of protease.

They do the exact same work but for the difference in concentration.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a script online


I wish you well.
