When you’re relying on prescription medications to keep your digestive health in check, the last thing you want is confusion about how they should be stored. People ask does Zenpep have to be dispensed in original container, and the short answer is yes, and for good reason. Zenpep contains pancrelipase, an enzyme that helps your body digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, and it’s sensitive to moisture and light. Keeping it in the original container isn’t just some pharmacy policy to make your life harder; it’s about preserving the potency so you’re getting the full benefit from each capsule. 

Another thing people want to know is how to take Zenpep, and that’s just as important as how to store it. The usual advice is to take it with every meal or snack that contains fat, swallowing the capsules whole, no chewing unless you enjoy the idea of irritating your mouth and throat. Your doctor will set the dose, and the goal is to match the enzymes to the amount of food you’re digesting. Think of it as giving your pancreas a helping hand every time you eat. 

Why the Original Container Rule Matters

If you’re wondering whether the original container rule means you have to lug the bottle everywhere, the answer is mostly yes, but there are small travel vials you can get that protect the capsules. Pharmacies don’t usually repackage Zenpep because those safety seals and moisture-proof lids are part of what keeps it stable. It’s a bit like how you wouldn’t put milk in a paper bag and leave it in the sun, certain things just need their proper home. 

And speaking of making things easier, you might be relieved to know the cost of Zenpep doesn’t have to be as hard to swallow as the capsules themselves. At Canada Drugs Direct, our recent price drop has brought the cost for Zenpep down to $1,494.99, which is a welcome break for anyone taking it regularly. That’s a serious saving, especially considering how vital this medication is for people with pancreatic insufficiency. 

The takeaway? Yes, Zenpep does have to be dispensed in its original container, and yes, you need to take it exactly as instructed if you want it to work the way it’s supposed to. Store it right, take it right, and your treatment outcomes will be a whole lot better, and with the new lower price, your wallet might just feel better too.
