Trattamento gastrointestinale

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 antiacidi or medicines such as omeprazolo. Symptoms of sindrome dell'intestino irritabile (IBS) can be relieved with mebeverina oppure 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 morbo di Crohn – are treated with medicines such as budesonide, prednisolone e mesalazine.
