Creon goes solo with Alliance

Viatris UK has announced that, from 1 March 2025, all orders of licensed Creon® preparations should be placed directly with Alliance Healthcare UK.

This is a shift away from the current three-wholesaler (AAH, Alliance Healthcare UK and Phoenix) distribution model to using only Alliance Healthcare UK as the sole distributor of licensed Creon® preparations in the UK.

The details of the products covered by the new distribution arrangements are included in the table below.

Viatris UK believes this change will support the optimal distribution of licensed Creon® preparations to healthcare providers across the UK.  

For any questions or for further information about the new supply arrangements, contact the dedicated Creon® customer support line on 0800 8086410 (open Monday to Friday between 9:00 to 17:00).

In December 2024, a National Patient Safety Alert (NPSA) for Shortage of Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) was published highlighting that Creon® will remain in limited supply until 2026 and alternatives such as Nutrizym® 22 capsules and Pancrex V® capsules and powder are intermittently available but are unable to fully cover the gap in supply.
