No authorized generic: There isn’t one.
No regular generic: Creon is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.
Prices are the average U.S. drugstores pay (source: Medicaid, September 23, 2026). What you pay depends on your plan or the pharmacy.

CREON Complete Savings Card
With commercial insurance
as little as $5 a prescription
No insurance
This card needs commercial insurance. The maker doesn’t list a cash price on this page.
The card pays up to $3,000 a year.
“$5 for a 30- or 90-day prescription.”
From the maker’s offer on creoninfo.com, checked September 25, 2026. What you pay depends on your plan. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Discount cards like GoodRx take money off the pharmacy’s cash price. For a brand-name drug, that price is often still high. With commercial insurance, Creon’s own card may bring it to as little as $5 a prescription.
Look up the discount-card price, then compare it with this estimate. You can use a maker’s card or a discount card, but usually not both on the same fill.
