I would take the Amazon bottle to your gastroenterologist or dietitian and have them compare the actual lipase units per capsule and formulation with your Zenpep prescription. I would also ask about less expensive prescription options and patient-assistance programs rather than abandoning prescription PERT solely because of cost.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. I will take the Amazon brand to the next appointment. Unfortunately Zenpep company refuses patients on Medicare insurance. My insurance won't approve Creon.
