Creon shortages
Some people with CF have been experiencing short-term interruptions in the supply of Creon. Find out more about the situation and what we're doing to help.
Creon is a vital medicine for many people with CF. Although Creon is still regularly coming into the UK, the supply issues may unfortunately continue for a while. We're working with everyone involved to highlight how important Creon is and to try to reduce the impact of these issues on people with CF.

I-neb nebulisers
From 26 May 2024 Philips discontinued the I-neb nebuliser device. This means they will no longer be available to people who do not have one already. It will also impact maintenance of existing I-neb devices and access to consumables such as the chamber and discs used in the device.
We understand that many people with CF use I-neb nebuliser devices and this news may be unsettling. We have answered some questions about what the discontinuance means for people with CF.
