My husband is 76 which scares me for him to go through with this. He take Creon with every meal and Will probably be on that forever. It’s also very expensive.

Abbvie which is the manufacturer of Creon has a patient assistance program that provides its product free of charge for those on Medicare if qualified based on financial need. All of the other pancrealipase manufacturers offer similar programs.
