1 General Information

Normally the pancreas is located behind the stomach. It excretes digestive enzymes in the duodenum, participates in the regulation of hormonal metabolism and maintains blood sugar levels. Eating in large amounts of fatty, fried, spicy, and especially alcohol, causes a decline in the work of the vital gland and leads to its dissonance.

Symptoms giving an occasion to consult a doctor with suspicion of pancreatic disease:

• acute abdominal pains arisingafter taking acute, fatty, fried foods, as well as after drinking;
• pains are shinning;

• bloating and rumbling in the abdomen;
• unformulated mushy stool;
• nausea and indomitable vomiting;
• general weakness and dizziness.

This disease is deadly, and only a specialist can decide whether a patient can cure pancreatitis.

Modern medicine now allows you to cure pancreatitis completely. First of all, if there are sharp, persistent pain in the abdominal area, immediately call an ambulance. During waiting, it is necessary to apply the "golden triad" of surgery: cold, hunger and peace.

2 Diagnosis and treatment methods

Upon arrival at the hospital, the patient will be examined by a surgeon. Take a blood test, urine and feces, make a radiograph of the abdominal organs. Detection of an increased content of pancreatic enzymes, amylase and diastase, confirms the diagnosis of pancreatitis. After the ultrasound, laprocentesis and computed tomography will be prescribed if necessary.

Modern diagnostic methods can accurately identify the disease and start treatment in time, which includes the following effective methods:

• use of secretolitics - drugs that reduce the acidity of gastric juice;
• use of enzyme preparations to "turn off" the pancreas from actively aggressive work and ensure its relaxation;
• use of drugs that relieve spasm from the ducts and the mouth of the gland and relieve pain - antispasmodics;
• removal of severe intoxication by intravenous injection of saline;
• use of antibacterial drugs to prevent the inflammation of dead tissue;
• balneotherapy - treatment with mineral waters of alkaline composition such as "Borjomi" and "Essentuki".

Competent doctors prefer to treat pancreatitis non-surgically: they block enzymes, not allowing them to devour all the organs and tissues lying in the immediate environment. They save patients and allow you to cure pancreatitis forever.

In addition to basic therapy, epidural analgesia and broad-spectrum antibiotics( cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones 3 to 4 generations + metronidazole) are used in some cases.

3 Applied drugs

Spasmolytic drugs( Drotaverin and Baralgin) in acute inflammatory process give a positive effect almost instantly. Drotaverine is most effective for intravenous injections and has virtually no side effects, except for extremely rare cases of nausea, dizziness, and tachycardia.

Baralgin has a contraindication to the use, many side effects, is released only in tablets, does not interact with many drugs, and therefore less effective.

As an antisecretory agent, a modern drug, omeprazole, is most often used. Getting inside, he is involved in the regulation of gastric juice production.

Forms of the preparation - tablets, capsules and bottles with powder for intravenous injection.

This newest medicine has almost no contraindications, except intolerance of substances that make up its composition, and age - is prescribed for patients older than 5 years. But in children, the presence of pancreatitis is extremely rare, only because of anatomical features or trauma.

No adverse events were detected. And if there is nausea and headaches, it is due to improper intake of the drug.

Omeprazole can not be taken alone: ​​only a doctor can prescribe it and dosage.

Another, no less effective, means is Counterkal( Gordoks).It can be used for children and pregnant women with careful medical supervision.

Slow intravenous administration should begin as early as possible during the first bouts of the disease. Therapy is performed prior to a significant improvement in the patient's condition with pancreatitis for all indicators.

Basic enzyme preparations for the treatment of pancreatitis - Digestal, Pancreatin, Enzistal, Festal, Creon, Mezim forte. They are available in the form of dragees or tablets, covered with soluble shells. The appointment of the medicines and their dosage is determined by the attending physician.
