I suffer from recurrent/chronic pancreatitis. The doctors have prescribed Viokase, but it is very expensive. I have been told that Panokase is a generic for Viokase, but my internet research does not support that information. Can anyone sort this out for me?

I believe the med you are talking about is Pancrease which is the same as Ultrace there are many generic versions of this drug includinf Catazym, Creon, Digess, Ku-Zyme, Lipram, and Zymase.

You will find formulation information on Viokase (tablets and powder) at
http://www.drugs.com/cdi/viokase.html

Unfortunately, the same information does not appear to be available for Panokase. This product is manufactured by Breckenridge Pharmaceutical Inc. and there is no info on their website

They do have contact details on the site, so it may be worth calling them.
