The best thing to do in my experience with something like the Creon is talk to the Med Info Dept at the generating hospital. Must have started in secondary care, and SOMEONE there will have seen several such patients. Otherwise, ring the info dept of the company concerned, find out to whom you are speaking, tell them what's happening and ask if they have any comments. You may or may not get a sharp intake of breath!
In the second case, if it's a repeat Rx you've got the address (although I think Zoggite you're in a holiday town aren't you?), so contact a Med Info dept on Monday and take it from there.
