Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Barry, You have stated that you use an antispasmodic to thwart an GB attack. What antispasmodic do you use? Does it require a prescription? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------------- Has anyone else any experience with antispasmodics? =============================================== BTW, has anyone taken Rowachol to dissolve stones?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Yes, an antispasmodic medicine is what they will give you if you ever went into the emergency room late at night with gb colic. 25 mg will stop the pain in a matter of minutes because it will relief the gb of contracting and allow the stone to drop back out the mouth of the gb to allow the bile to release. Buscapina is the name I use, and yes, it is perscription. Saves a lot of trips to the emergency room in the middle of the night. It is only a 'band-aide' to the real problem but it sure will let you get right back to sleep. :-) Barry. > Barry, > > You have stated that you use an antispasmodic to thwart an GB attack. > > What antispasmodic do you use?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hello, Don't get discouraged if one doctor has not heard of it. Doctors can not know everything and just do their best with what knowledge that they have. Please refer your doctor to the following info. It was taken from the website: http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic98.htm " Pain control considerations are as follows: " Several studies now have shown that early pain control in ED patients with abdominal pain does not hinder the diagnosis. Therefore, administer pain control early, without waiting for the diagnosis or surgical consult. A courtesy call to the surgical consultant prior to administration of narcotics offers the expedient opportunity to examine the patients without narcotics, which occasionally diminishes surgical resistance to prediagnosis narcotic use. Primary pain control should be with anticholinergic antispasmodics such as dicyclomine (Bentyl). Secondary pain control should be with meperidine (Demerol). Some physicians prefer not to use morphine, which may increase tone in the sphincter of Oddi. " Try also: " Patients who come to the hospital for acute biliary pain are given fluids and pain killers. Drugs known as antispasmodics and anticholinergics, usually dicyclomine (Bentyl), is the first choice for relief of gallbladder pain because they reduce muscles spasm.
