Signs of pancreatic inflammation
Knowing the key symptoms of the disease is necessary in order to consult a doctor in time and not lose your chances of a successful recovery. The main symptom is severe girdling pain that radiates to the right hypochondrium. In addition, exacerbation of pancreatitis is characterized by:
- upset stool (diarrhea or constipation), nausea, vomiting;
- hiccups, belching;
- increased salivation;
- increased gas formation, flatulence;
- bitter taste in the mouth;
- increased heart rate and breathing;
- increased body temperature;
- decreased appetite and sudden weight loss.
To relieve pain, you should take the fetal position and urgently call an ambulance. No measures should be taken on your own, other than using a cold heating pad with ice placed on the upper abdomen.
Injection forms
In the treatment of osteochondrosis, various types of injections are used - it depends on the severity of pain and the presence of contraindications.
In this form of injection, the drug is administered into:
- shoulder;
- buttock;
- other large muscles of the body.
Usually prescribed for the administration of the active substance in small quantities.
This type of injection allows you to immediately introduce the drug into the bloodstream. Due to the high concentration of active components, the risk of exceeding the dosage increases, so only a specialist should carry out such manipulations.
Reference! By injecting the medicine into a vein, you can quickly eliminate pain and other unpleasant symptoms that arise from this pathology.
Nerve blockades
“Blockades” are usually resorted to when unbearable pain appears, when it is impossible to move or care for oneself. The drug is directly injected into the bundle of nerve fibers, resulting in rapid anesthesia, muscles relax, and swelling goes away.
Nerve blockades can only be placed by a doctor - the wrong choice of location can cause serious complications.
An injection is a medical manipulation that is accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin. That is why it is so important to remember the need to disinfect both the injection site and the needle itself in order to avoid infection in the wound. To give yourself an injection, you need:
- treat the skin with iodine or alcohol;
- draw the required amount of medicine into the syringe;
- fix the syringe cannula;
- insert the game into the muscle 2/3 of its length;
- administer the drug.
For severe pain attacks, you can use Analgin, Novocain, Lidocoin. And to enhance the effect, it can be additionally mixed with Hydrocortisone.
Important! When giving injections, be sure to use an antiseptic to treat the skin and needle, which will avoid infection. If it is impossible to give the injection yourself, it is better to call an ambulance.
Droppers for pancreatitis: instructions, course of treatment and effectiveness
Before prescribing medication, the patient must undergo a diagnostic examination. After this, the composition of the droppers and the dosage of medications are selected by the attending physician.
It takes into account the stage of the disease, chronic ailments, and the general condition of the patient. Drugs used in droppers for pancreatitis according to the instructions for medical use:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs - “Contrikal”, “Sandostatin” stop the production of enzymes.
- Painkillers – “Baralgin”, “Analgin”, “Ketorol” - are used to relieve pain and prevent shock.
- Reducing stomach acidity - Pantoprazole, Omeprazole.
- For rehabilitation therapy - “Glucose” and saline solution.
- Antispasmodics – “Drotaverine”, “Papaverine”.
- Relieving swelling of tissues - “Furosemide”.
- To prevent intoxication - “Hemodez”, “Polidez”.
- Antibacterial - Metronidazole, Ofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin are administered to prevent secondary infection.
One of the most serious human diseases is pancreatitis, and treatment of this disease cannot be delayed.
The main component of his treatment are droppers. Without these procedures, inflammation of the pancreas will not go away.
Tablets can be prescribed only for chronic pancreatitis. In other stages of the disease, only intravenous infusion of medications is prescribed.
Intravenous infusion of drugs has many advantages. Among them is the rapid penetration of drugs into the blood. This guarantees that the medication will immediately begin to relieve inflammation of the patient’s pancreas. Since with pancreatitis you need to act quickly, otherwise other organs may suffer and a terrible disease may develop – diabetes mellitus.
When treating a patient, these procedures also provide:
- immediate effect of the administered drugs;
- effectiveness of drug treatment;
- rest of the gastrointestinal tract, including the diseased organ;
- retention of the drug in the body, unlike other methods of treatment;
- body support;
- removal of intoxication.
There are several types of IVs that are placed for pancreatitis. Each of these procedures has a specific purpose and function (pain relief, anti-enzyme effect, body support).
There are three main types of intravenous infusions.
A patient with pancreatitis experiences pain. In the initial stage it can be very strong and acute and can cause pain. Painful shock can disrupt the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Therefore, painful suffering must be relieved immediately.
The patient should not take painkillers himself until the doctor arrives, because the examination tests may be distorted. When the doctor makes a diagnosis, the patient is prescribed painkillers to relieve pain and prevent pain. They will instantly reduce painful spasms and prevent possible complications from developing.
To digest food in this disease, pancreatic enzymes are highly secreted. In addition, they are difficult to remove from the body, and the patient’s gland needs to be provided with maximum unloading.
Therefore, the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory drips to the patient. They make it possible to slow down the work of the pancreas, relieve acute inflammation, reduce tissue swelling, improve the functioning of the organ, normalize cell nutrition, and suppress the production of enzymes.
In the first two days, the dosage of the drug can be administered to the maximum, then it is reduced to normal. When installing the system, it is necessary to be prepared for adverse reactions, because the active substances of the drug instantly enter the patient’s blood.
The main treatment for pancreatitis is a fast, which can last for several days. The body cannot be left without food and water for a long time. In this regard, the patient is prescribed maintenance drips.
To restore the body's vitality, replenish water balance and monosaccharides, glucose is introduced. To prevent dehydration and normalize fluid, saline is used. Maintenance procedures deliver the necessary medications very quickly without disturbing the patient's digestive system.
To support the body, vitamins and body-strengthening medications are also infused intravenously. The patient can be given them at home.
But a maintenance drip during exacerbation of pancreatitis is done only in a hospital. You can't do it at home. The patient must be under medical supervision.
After 4–5 days, the patient is allowed to take warm and low-fat food (broths, crackers, sour milk).
The name of the dropper for pancreatitis, their dose is determined only by the doctor. Patients should not treat themselves, because self-medication can aggravate the disease and lead to serious complications.
The composition of the dropper depends on the severity of pancreatitis and is selected individually.
The pancreas drip for pancreatitis may contain antibacterial agents to prevent negative consequences associated with other organs. However, usually anti-inflammatory and painkillers are sufficient for treatment.
To reduce the secretion of organ enzymes, the drug Sandostatin is used. Thanks to this component, the secretion of enzymes and juices is suspended. In the acute stage of inflammation of the gland, this drug allows you to instantly relieve pain and reduce the occurrence of possible complications. This remedy is diluted in saline solutions, and the dosage is calculated by the doctor.
An indispensable drug for suppressing enzyme activity is Contrikal. A dropper for pancreatitis with the components of this medicine suppresses the activity of trypsin and chymotrypsin.
Painkiller drips for pancreatitis include: No-shpu, Papaverine, Drotaverine and their other analogues. They may include means to relieve intoxication - Hemodez, Polydez.
The number of droppers is prescribed to the patient individually by the doctor. It all depends on the stage of the disease, the age of the patient, tolerability of these procedures, and the presence of other diseases.
Patients at high risk of developing severe consequences are given them every day for one to several months.
This high-risk category includes patients who are:
- alcohol dependent;
- retirement age;
- are at risk of developing diabetes;
- have a risk of developing cancer pathologies.
Also included in this category are patients who have concomitant diseases. When treating such a patient, the doctor takes into account the presence and characteristics of another disease.
Prescribes gentle treatment for pancreatitis, so as not to harm the health and not aggravate the manifestation of another disease of the patient. Thanks to intravenous infusions of drugs, the symptoms of this disease are relieved.

In case of acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), treatment is carried out in a hospital setting. This disease is very dangerous, and failure to provide timely assistance can lead to serious consequences or death.
To stop the inflammation process, complex treatment is prescribed, aimed at reducing the acidity of gastric juice and reducing poisoning of the body. Intravenous administration of drugs is mainly used to protect the gastrointestinal tract from irritation and not to injure the inflamed gland.
What kind of IVs can be used for pancreatitis? This is what will be discussed in this article.
Treatment is prescribed by a professional in the field of gastrointestinal pathologies - a gastroenterologist. Depending on the degree and form of the disease, treatment includes diet, IVs, and medications. The treatment regimen is prescribed individually; the patient requires hospitalization.
General recommendations
In the chronic form of the disease, during periods of remission, regular visits to a gastroenterologist are required for the purpose of examination and monitoring the course of the disease, and adherence to a diet. In the case of an acute form, hospitalization is recommended to ensure constant monitoring of the patient's health. In some cases, when for certain reasons hospitalization is impossible, the doctor prescribes treatment at home. The general treatment method includes the following rules:
- Elimination of food intake;
- Complete rest;
- Cooling the inflamed area.
Fasting is prescribed during the first three days of exacerbation. On these days, it is allowed to drink still mineral water, weak tea and rosehip decoction. Selected nutrients are introduced into the patient's body through a probe, and glucose is supplied in the form of droppers. Then they gradually begin to introduce food into the diet.
The patient should be provided with complete rest and bed rest. This reduces the intensity of blood flow in the pancreas and reduces irritation of the organ tissues. A cold compress helps relieve inflammation; often a heating pad with cold water is applied to the inflamed area.
A dropper as a method of administering medications and nutrients shows undoubted advantages compared to other methods. The dropper refers to the method of intravascular injection, delivering the drug directly into the blood, due to which the medicine begins to act instantly. Of course, this method of administration has disadvantages:
- The likelihood of infection;
- Possibility of air getting into the vein;
- Possibility of the drug getting into soft tissues.
The procedure sometimes takes a long time and becomes unpleasant for the patient. But the advantages of IVs for pancreatitis are noticeable and outweigh the possible disadvantages.
Characteristics of several drugs, composition, action, analogues
Among anti-inflammatory drugs, the main role belongs to Diclofenac. It reduces the production of inflammatory mediators and inhibits their activity. A similar substitute is Almiral, which contains the same active substance.
The most popular analgesic is Analgin. It contains metamizole sodium. The same component is found in tablet preparations. Among the muscle relaxant drugs, Mydocalm is distinguished. The product contains tolperisone hydrochloride and lidocaine. Thanks to this, not only a relaxing effect on muscle tissue is achieved, but also an anesthetic effect.
Vitamin preparations are added to complex droppers, that is, consisting of several drugs. The most important vitamins for osteochondrosis are C, groups B and D. Actovegin improves blood circulation, which is very useful for compounds in dystrophic pathologies of the back.
Actovegin is a useful medication for joint dystrophy
Why are IVs given for pancreatitis?
The human pancreas is an organ of the digestive system, the proper functioning of which is important for the normal functioning of the body. Pathology of the pancreas negatively affects other internal organs of a person. The gland performs two functions:
- The endocrine, internal function of the gland is to produce hormones.
- Exocrine secretion produces enzymes that are part of pancreatic juice and ensure the breakdown and absorption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The production of these substances in the required quantities ensures the proper functioning of the body. The hormone insulin is responsible for controlling sugar levels. Glucagon, in contrast to insulin, synthesizes glucose. Enzymes are responsible for the body's absorption of substances coming from outside. In an effort not to harm the organ, enzymes are activated after leaving the pancreas.
The pancreas is susceptible to a number of pathologies, the main one known being pancreatitis. This is the name given to the process of inflammation of the pancreas. Typically, inflammation occurs due to blockage of the gland duct due to a tumor, stones or cyst. Pancreatic juice enzymes, having no outlet, begin to become active in the pancreas. Enzymes destroy organ tissue and inflame it.
Exacerbation of pancreatitis is characterized by increased symptoms of the disease. The patient feels severe pain in the epigastric region and in the left upper abdominal region. The pain does not go away for a long time. At home, pain relief can be alleviated by taking no-shpa and taking a sitting position with the body tilted forward and the knees pulled up to the chest.
The patient begins to experience severe nausea and vomiting of food debris and bile, which does not bring relief after the stomach is emptied. The process is accompanied by flatulence, heartburn and bowel dysfunction. There is an increase in body temperature and blood pressure. In a severe attack, the patient loses consciousness and experiences shock.
Seeing a doctor
If symptoms of exacerbation occur, you should immediately seek help from a doctor. The symptoms described above are in many ways characteristic of other diseases of the digestive system. The doctor is able to correctly diagnose and determine the cause of the ailment. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the gastroenterologist will relieve the attack of pancreatitis by prescribing effective treatment for the patient.
The prescription of an IV for pancreatitis accompanies almost every treatment method. The dropper delivers the medicine directly into the bloodstream, avoiding the digestive system without overloading it. At the time of an acute attack, the event becomes an important factor, since some drugs, while having a beneficial effect in one direction, aggravate the attack.
General recommendations
In the chronic form of the disease, during periods of remission, regular visits to a gastroenterologist are required for the purpose of examination and monitoring the course of the disease, and adherence to a diet.
In the case of an acute form, hospitalization is recommended to ensure constant monitoring of the patient's health.
Droppers for pancreatitis occupy a special place in the treatment of pathology: without intravenous infusion of analgesic solutions, it is impossible to relieve an acute attack of inflammation, accompanied by incredible pain. These medical procedures are prescribed in further treatment in conjunction with medications taken orally, diet and giving up bad habits.

Which ones do they put?
For inflammation of the pancreas, three types of IVs are placed:
- for pain relief;
- to eliminate inflammation;
- to maintain the body.
The name of the medication, dosage, and duration of the treatment course are determined by the doctor.
Droppers are indicated for acute pancreatitis and exacerbation of a chronic disease. In chronic cases, the pathology during the period of remission is limited to oral drug therapy. But in difficult cases and if there is a risk of exacerbations, the doctor may prescribe intravenous infusions, regardless of the form and type of pathology.
Droppers are indicated for acute pancreatitis and exacerbation of a chronic disease.
Contraindications to placing IVs are associated with those drugs that are used as intravenous solutions. The doctor selects the medicine individually, taking into account the patient’s health condition, possible allergies, course of the disease, etc.
The therapeutic course of treatment of pancreatitis using IVs takes place in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor. In the first days, fasting and droppers with an analgesic effect are prescribed. Anti-inflammatory intravenous injections are gradually introduced, unloading the gland, and then restoring it to support the body.
The therapeutic course of treatment of pancreatitis using IVs takes place in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
The number of intravenous infusions and the duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor, taking into account the stage of development of pancreatitis, drug tolerance, and the presence of other diseases.
If there is a risk of developing severe complications, then the patient will have to take droppers for several months. The group of such patients includes:
- people over 50 years old;
- drinkers and drug addicts;
- those suffering from diabetes and those at high risk of developing this disease;
- cancer patients;
- patients with concomitant diseases that may cause worsening of pancreatitis.
If there is a risk of developing severe complications, then the patient will have to take droppers for several months. The group of such patients includes people over 50 years of age.
Violations of IV technique can lead to complications. Experienced medical personnel do not make mistakes, but occasionally mistakes can happen to any specialist.
Possible complications:
- Hematoma. This is the most common condition when placing an IV. A bruise appears when a vein is pierced through with a needle or if the patient does not press the injection site, as the doctor advises.
- Swelling of the tissues surrounding the injection site of the intravenous solution. If the needle does not enter the lumen of the vein, the drug penetrates into the fiber, which is why bloating is formed.
- Necrosis. The soft tissue around the injection site may become dead if a strong drug gets under the skin.
- Air embolism. Occurs due to air entering the vein.
- Sepsis. If asepsis is violated, blood poisoning may occur.
Hematoma. This is the most common condition when placing an IV.
To avoid complications, it is necessary to undergo treatment with IVs in a hospital setting, where professionals work.
Droppers are used to slowly administer medications. The drugs immediately reach their intended purpose without irritating the gastrointestinal tract. Droppers for pancreatitis are a mandatory part of the treatment of the disease.
Among the advantages of this method over others are:
- immediate release of drugs into the blood:
- rapid action of the drug;
- the medicine does not enter the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas does not irritate;
- The medication stays in the body longer than if taken orally.
Droppers for pancreatitis, with an individually selected composition, perform several functions. With an inflamed pancreas, the patient cannot take any food, not even a sip of water. Fasting continues for several days, so solutions are administered through a dropper to replace food and liquid and prevent dehydration.
In the first days after the attack, the patient is prescribed strict fasting. At this time, he suffers from severe pain, so painkillers and drugs are needed to stop the inflammatory process in the gland. All medications are administered intravenously. Depending on the therapeutic purposes, the following types of droppers are used:
- painkillers;
- anti-inflammatory;
- supportive.
Droppers for pancreatitis are used to speed up the delivery of medications without straining the digestive system. All drugs enter directly into the blood and are immediately delivered to their destination through its current, giving the pancreas the opportunity to recover. A slow and time-consuming injection procedure ensures the desired concentration of drugs and reduces negative side effects.
What effect do they have on osteochondrosis?
The therapeutic effect of the procedure depends on the composition of the solution. Intravenous infusions are carried out to remove toxic and other harmful substances from the body, so that the required amount of medications enters the bloodstream.
In osteochondrosis, IV drips have a positive effect.
The introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs helps to quickly eliminate pain and restore normal performance. Analgesic medications quickly, although not for long, eliminate pain, which brings relief to the patient. Also, some drugs stimulate blood flow, which helps normalize the trophism of back tissue.
Droppers for pancreatitis: drugs, effect, course of treatment for recovery
Droppers for pancreatitis are prescribed for an acute form of the disease or during an exacerbation of a chronic one. Intravenous infusion of medications provides quick results, an instant response, and allows the diseased organ to rest. The main task is to quickly relieve inflammation, remove toxins, and ensure that other organs of the gastrointestinal tract are not damaged.
Types of droppers
The disease is an inflammation of the pancreatic mucosa, as a result of which the organ ceases to fully perform its functions.
The production of enzymes necessary for digesting food decreases, and unpleasant symptoms appear - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heaviness, bloating, flatulence, pain.
Toxins gradually accumulate, symptoms of intoxication intensify - weakness, headache, dizziness, etc. To achieve a therapeutic effect, it is necessary:
- Stop inflammation;
- Eliminate the effects of unfavorable factors;
- Create temporary complete rest of the pancreas, including by reducing the number of pills consumed;
- Cleanse the body of harmful substances and toxins;
- Restore pancreatic function.
Acute pancreatitis is treated in a hospital. How many IVs will have to be placed depends on individual characteristics, general health, age, and the state of the immune system. They use 3 types of droppers with different mechanisms of action.
Painkillers
If you have severe pain, you should immediately call an ambulance. You cannot take painkillers on your own before the doctor arrives, as this distorts the results of the examination and smoothes out the clinical picture.
After being examined by a doctor, the patient is given painkillers intravenously. The therapeutic effect occurs within 5 minutes.
In the absence of qualified medical care, painful shock occurs, the functions of the cardiovascular system are disrupted, and blood pressure decreases. The person may even die.
Malfunction of the pancreas leads to excessive production of enzymes for breaking down food. In a normal state, they are initially inactive and begin to act only when, bypassing the stomach, they end up in the small intestine. In pancreatitis, these enzymes are initially active and digest the gastric mucosa, causing inflammation and a number of painful symptoms.
Anti-inflammatory drugs perform several functions at once - they stop inflammation, relieve pain, relieve tissue swelling, normalize cell nutrition, and reduce the production of pancreatic enzymes. Initially, the drug is administered to the maximum, and the dosage is gradually reduced. If acute pancreatitis appears for the first time, the dose is selected much stronger than during an exacerbation of the chronic form.
Active substances enter the blood, spread throughout the body, and are localized in pathological places. The therapeutic effect occurs quickly, the symptoms of inflammation disappear within a few days, but there are a number of side effects. You cannot use anti-inflammatory drips at home. Constant medical supervision is required.
Supporters
Acute pancreatitis is treated with fasting. Lack of food reduces the production of pancreatic enzymes and reduces the load on the gastrointestinal tract. All energy is spent not on digesting food, but on tissue restoration.
Fasting can last up to 5 days. At the same time, it is impossible to leave the body without water and nutrients. Otherwise, incredible weakness and a decrease in vital energy will follow.
The body will not be able to fight the disease.
There are several types of strengthening droppers. This is glucose, which maintains energy potential, saline solution - prevents dehydration, vitamins - replenish the body with useful substances. Medicines bypass the digestive tract without loading the diseased organ.
Vitamins can be injected at home, but after minutes of acute symptoms of the disease.
Course duration
How many IVs to install is determined individually in each case. The general condition, severity of the disease, the presence of concomitant diseases, age, and individual intolerance are taken into account. For patients at high risk of developing complications, the system is placed daily or every other day for 1 to 6 months.
This category includes alcohol-dependent people of advanced age, with an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus, oncology, and having concomitant diseases. If a person recovers quickly and there are no complications, IV treatment is stopped after a week.
To consolidate the effect, you need to adhere to a strict diet for a month, then gradually switch to proper nutrition.
Composition of the dropper
Determined individually in each case. The drip usually contains several drugs with different mechanisms of action.
- Analgesics are used to relieve pain. Eliminate pain as quickly as possible. Use Acetaminophen, Analgin.
- In the presence of spasm or muscle tension, antispasmodics are used - No-Shpa, Drotaverine, Papaverine. The condition returns to normal after 5 minutes.
- Anesthetics or strong painkillers are prescribed when the patient’s condition is extremely severe, there is pain shock or a condition close to it. Novocaine is most often used.
- Gordox is prescribed as an anti-inflammatory drug. The drug stops inflammation, relieves swelling, relieves pain, reduces the production of pancreatic enzymes, and normalizes digestion.
- To cleanse the body and remove toxins, Polydez and Hemodez are used. The drugs help eliminate intoxication and improve overall well-being.
- The dropper may contain antibacterial agents if pancreatitis is associated with an infectious pathology or there are strong signs of inflammation. They use drugs from the group of fluoroquinolones - Ofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin.
- Vitamins and minerals are administered to support the body. To normalize the level of monosaccharides and increase energy potential, glucose is included in the droppers. To prevent dehydration, add sodium chloride solution.
- To reduce the activity of the pancreas and reduce the number of enzymes, Contrical or its analogues are prescribed.
Of course, you can choose the composition of a dropper or buy a system yourself without the presence of doctors, but such procedures should be supervised by specialists, since unpleasant consequences may occur.
The system must be installed by qualified personnel. Doctors are required to monitor the progress of the drug being introduced into the body.
- It is possible that an allergic reaction to the administered medication may occur. In this case, treatment is stopped immediately and the composition is adjusted.
- Hematoma or bruise. This is the very least that can happen. This side effect is practically ignored. Occurs a few minutes after needle insertion. To reduce tissue trauma, vasofix is initially administered and left on the arm until the full course of treatment is completed.
- Tissue swelling occurs when the needle does not enter the vein and the medicine begins to flow into the soft tissues. In this situation, the error must be corrected immediately.
- An air embolism occurs when air enters a vein. Typically, the situation occurs if doctors do not remove the needle in a timely manner when the medicine runs out. A blocked blood vessel can lead to death.
- Sepsis is rare if asepsis is not followed. Infection of blood and tissues occurs through a needle.
- Necrosis or tissue necrosis occurs when a potent drug is administered or the permissible dosage is exceeded.
Complications do not occur if the staff approaches their work responsibly; the system is installed in a hospital setting, not at home.
Contraindications
The procedure itself has no contraindications. But the prohibitions are related to the drugs that are administered. A direct contraindication is the presence of individual intolerance to the components, an increased tendency to allergies.
In this case, the attending physician initially finds out whether there is an allergy to any substances or medications. If the answer is positive, medications are selected that are less likely to develop an allergic reaction.
In addition, the dropper contains antihistamines, which reduce the likelihood of an unusual reaction. It is contraindicated to install the system at home without the supervision of a specialist.
It is difficult to say unequivocally which drip will be the most effective. The general condition, the presence of concomitant diseases, the nature, intensity of pain, age, and individual characteristics are taken into account. In addition, the qualifications of the doctor play a role, who must select the most effective medications in each individual case.
Symptoms of this form are severe abdominal pain, incessant vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, weakness, and fever. Treatment begins with pain relief. Analgesics, anesthetics, and antispasmodics are used. The choice depends on the intensity and nature of the pain. After this, they begin to relieve inflammation, reduce the activity of the pancreas, and remove toxins.
Complex anti-inflammatory droppers are prescribed, which may include several drugs with different mechanisms of action. After a few days of intensive therapy, they begin to put on a strengthening drip to improve well-being, increase energy reserves, and prevent dehydration. Treatment must be carried out in a hospital under the supervision of specialists.
It is characterized by a weak clinical picture and vague symptoms. There is constant discomfort, weakness, stools are periodically disrupted, heartburn, belching, and heaviness in the abdomen appear. The pain in this case can be in the form of a spasm, pressing, dull, prolonged or temporary.
Treatment is carried out with tablets and suspensions. However, to improve the general condition, remove toxins, and increase immunity, strengthening droppers may be prescribed. In most cases, they are placed in a hospital, the person remains on day treatment.
Vitamins and glucose can be administered at home, but always under the supervision of specialists.
Drug names
The list of medications is selected by a specialist after a thorough examination of the patient and confirmation of the diagnosis. In most cases, the following drugs are prescribed:
- Acetaminophen. Paracetamol analogue. The substance of the same name contains 500 mg. It has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Contraindications – hypersensitivity to components, age under 12 years, liver, kidney failure.
- Analgin. It has a pronounced analgesic property, as well as antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Contraindicated for blood problems or individual intolerance.
- No-Shpa. Antispasmodic agent based on drotaverine. It acts on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract without disturbing intestinal motility. It does not cause side effects and is completely eliminated from the body within 24 hours. Not prescribed for intolerance to components, liver or kidney failure, children under 6 years of age.
- Papaverine. The active substance is papaverine hydrochloride with pronounced antispasmodic properties. Prescribe with caution to patients over 75 years of age. Possible side effects include decreased blood pressure, headache, weakness, and nausea.
- Novocaine. The active substance is procaine with an analgesic effect. Prescribed for severe pain. Reduces the sensitivity of nerves, slows down the transmission of impulses. The main contraindication is hypersensitivity to the components.
- Gordoks. Acts on the basis of protinin. It is a protease inhibitor, obtained from the lungs of cattle. It replenishes the deficiency of enzymes that the diseased pancreas is unable to produce and affects the circulatory system. Prescribed for exacerbation of pancreatitis, internal bleeding.
- Hemodez. Water-salt solution with detoxifying effect. Cleanses the body of toxins and harmful substances. Completely excreted by the kidneys. Contraindicated for bronchial asthma, intolerance to components, kidney inflammation, and cerebral hemorrhage.
- Ofloxacin. Antibiotic with a broad spectrum of action. Prescribed in the presence of infection in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Ciprofloxacin. An antimicrobial agent is an antibiotic with a broad spectrum of action.
- Contrikal. The active substance aprotinin reduces the activity of pancreatic enzymes, stopping their destructive effect. Prescribed for acute pancreatitis and internal bleeding.
General recommendations
- Painkillers. Help relieve pain shock that often accompanies an attack of pancreatitis. It is necessary to relieve pain shock as soon as possible, so an IV with an anesthetic drug is prescribed immediately after diagnosis.
- Anti-inflammatory drips are prescribed to patients undergoing hospital treatment; constant monitoring by specialists is required. The essence is to relieve inflammation and reduce swelling of the pancreatic tissue.
- Maintenance drips are needed to avoid starvation of the body. During an exacerbation of the inflammatory process, the patient is prohibited from eating food.
Advantages and disadvantages
pros
Injections have many advantages over the use of medications in the form of capsules or tablets. These include:
- high efficiency;
- good speed of action of the drug;
- minimizing the risk of side effects.
The high speed of action is ensured by the fact that the drug administered by injection does not pass through the gastrointestinal tract, entering directly into the bloodstream.
Minuses
Among the disadvantages of using drugs in the form of injections are:
- the need to have the skills to give injections independently;
- possible appearance of abscesses at the injection site;
- short duration of action.
It is for this reason that injections are most often prescribed at the initial stage or to quickly relieve pain and inflammation.
Painkiller drips
During an attack of pancreatitis, the patient experiences pain in the upper abdomen, so severe that a painful shock may occur, which will negatively affect the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Intravenous administration of painkillers quickly and beneficially affects the patient's condition.
It should be noted that you cannot take any painkillers on your own until the ambulance arrives. This negatively affects test results. Droppers for exacerbation of pancreatitis to relieve pain are prescribed by the doctor after making a diagnosis. For this purpose, “No-shpu”, “Ketorol”, “Baralgin” are used.
Anti-inflammatory droppers
To reduce the inflammatory process, it is necessary to suspend the production of enzymes by the pancreas necessary for the absorption of food. They are difficult to remove from the body, and the active work of the gland exacerbates the abnormal process. For this purpose, the following groups of drugs are used:
- fast-acting - NSAIDs that suppress nonspecific inflammatory factors;
- slow-acting drugs - immunosuppressants that affect the main parts of the immune system of the abnormal process;
- corticosteroids – they have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.
Pancreatitis is treated with droppers, which relieve signs of acute inflammation and reduce tissue swelling. The attending physician selects the drugs and dosage individually for each patient, taking into account his age, form and severity of the disease.
