Is it just me or does Creon taste nasty?

[Enzo2311]

Like at school when I go to the nurses to take them with water, they taste really gross for some reason. Anyone else find this the same problem?

I hope your not chewing them, not supposed to. They do stink though. I don't keep in mouth that long, pills in and swallow immediately.

Always nasty or just the ones at school? Could they be old?

Does the water at school taste gross?

Always nasty or just the ones at school? Could they be old?

no. They're probably a few months old

Does the water at school taste gross?

Not really no, if I drink it a lot it does. But I think it's the pills them selves that have a weird gross taste

I think that they have a funky taste to them, especially if you don't swallow them quickly....it's hard to describe what they taste like...they almost remind me of plastic.

There is a minor taste but after so many years of taking them i dont even notice it. Especially with vitabdeck, salt tablets and other non coated antibiotics tasting foul. In comparison Creon is good tasting haha.

I agree. They do have a bit of a weird taste to them and I swallow them very quickly as others have also mentioned. Luckily I have trouble with my smell/taste so it's not too bad for me.

I get the part about the smell depending on the smeller. Try asking the nurse to place your Creon out on a paper saucer or cup a couple hours before you need to take them. Or, cut little disks out of a (new) pair of OderEaters and place them in your Creon bottles or whatever stinks.
