@gamaryanne - Hi! I had a similar situation and was able to use a Creon savings card that helped - https://www.creoninfo.com/cost-savings

@gamaryanne I buy my Creon from Canadian Pharmacy Service at a fraction of the cost. You might want to check that. Same brand, same drug. I have not tried over the counter products.

@gamaryanne i started out taking ZenPep - 1 20,000 pill with meals, 1 10,000 with snacks,but then was not gaining any weight back or absorbing nutrients so my doc had me order Vital Nutrients, off Amazon to take along with ZenPep. I was really glad as you said, the prescription enzymes are expensive, and I was afraid they were going to tell me to double up on them - yikes. So I don’t know how the Vital Nutrients would do just taken alone, but they help me when added to ZenPep.
