טיפול במערכת העיכול

Some gastrointestinal symptoms can be relatively minor and short-lived and are easily treated with over-the-counter medicines. For example, indigestion and acid reflux can be treated with נוגדי חומצה או תרופות כגון אומפרזול. Symptoms of תסמונת המעי הרגיז (IBS) can be relieved with mebeverine או hyoscine. Ask a pharmacist for advice on which medicines are most suitable for you. If any gastrointestinal symptoms are worrying or last longer than about two weeks, make an appointment to see your doctor. More severe conditions – for example, ulcerative colitis and מחלת קרוהן – are treated with medicines such as budesonide, פרדניזולון ו mesalazine.
