How should I use Desitin Creamy (zinc oxide topical)?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.


Apply enough of this medication to cover the entire area to be treated. Zinc oxide often leaves a thin white residue that may not be entirely rubbed in.


To treat chapped skin, minor burn wounds, or other skin irritations, use the medication as often as needed. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and rub in gently.


To treat diaper rash, use this medication each time the diaper is changed. It is especially important to apply the medication at bedtime or whenever there will be a long period of time between diaper changes.


Keep the diaper area clean and dry to prevent worsening of skin rash. Change wet diapers as soon as possible. Allow the skin to dry thoroughly before putting on a fresh diaper.


When using the powder form of this medicine, pour the powder slowly to avoid a large puff into the air. Do not allow a baby to handle a powder bottle during use. Always close the lid after using the powder.

Zinc oxide rectal suppositories come with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.


Wash your hands before and after inserting a rectal suppository.

Try to empty your bowel and bladder just before using the suppository. Cleanse and dry your rectal area thoroughly.


Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.


For best results, stay lying down after inserting the suppository and hold it in your rectum for a few minutes. The suppository will melt quickly once inserted and you should feel little or no discomfort while holding it in.


Stop using this medication and call your doctor if your condition does not improve within 7 days of treatment. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the tube cap tightly closed when not in use. You may store zinc oxide rectal suppositories in a refrigerator to prevent melting.

What happens if I miss a dose?

What is pancrelipase?

Pancrelipase is a combination of three enzymes (proteins): lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.


Pancrelipase is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, or blockage of the pancreatic ducts.


Pancrelipase may also be used following surgical removal of the pancreas.


Pancrelipase may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about pancrelipase?


You should not take pancrelipase if you are allergic to pork proteins.

Before taking pancrelipase, tell your doctor if you have gout, kidney disease, a history of intestinal blockage, a sudden onset of pancreatitis, or worsening of chronic pancreatic disease.


Use pancrelipase regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.


Do not hold the tablets or capsule contents in your mouth. The medication may irritate the inside of your mouth.


Do not inhale the powder from a pancrelipase capsule, or allow it to touch your skin. It may cause irritation, especially to your nose and lungs.

If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and wait until your next scheduled dose to take the medicine. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking pancrelipase?


You should not take pancrelipase if you are allergic to pork proteins.

If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a pancrelipase dose adjustment or special tests:


  • kidney disease;


  • gout;




  • a history of blockage in your intestines;




  • a sudden onset of pancreatitis; or




  • worsening of chronic pancreatic disease.




This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether pancrelipase passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Do not hold the tablets or capsule contents in your mouth. The medication may irritate the inside of your mouth.


Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.

You may open the pancrelipase capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.


Do not inhale the powder from a pancrelipase capsule, or allow it to touch your skin. It may cause irritation, especially to your nose and lungs.

Use pancrelipase regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.

If the medication is exposed to temperatures between 78 and 104 degrees F, throw it away after 30 days. Do not use any pancrelipase that has been exposed to temperatures above 104 degrees F.
