Drugs for Gastrointestinal Problems
Gastrointestinal problems interfere with the intake, digestion, and/or absorption of nutrients in the body. A number of diseases including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer, post-bariatric surgery, short bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, biliary tract diseases, etc. fall in this category. These conditions can be extremely discomforting for the sufferer. Thankfully, there are medicines for treatment of these problems. Following are a few types of medications used in the treatment of gastrointestinal problems.
Anticholinergics
Medicines like dicyclomine are anticholinergics that are used for relieving the patient from pain and spasm caused in various gastrointestinal diseases. These medications are also used for reducing the amount of stomach acid, in order to slow down the movement of bowel and relax the muscles in stomach.
Antiemetics
These Gastrointestinal Drugs are used for relieving from conditions like nausea, which is quite common in most of the gastrointestinal diseases. This medication directly affects the part of brain which is responsible for controlling nausea, in order to efficiently control this gastrointestinal issue. Phenothiazine derivative prochlorperazine is amongst the most effective antiemetics which is capable of effectively providing relief from nausea. Few other types of antiemetics are granisetron, ondansetron and dolasetron.
Antidiarrheals
Diarrhea is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions caused by bacterial infection or excessive consumption of food items that are not easy to digest. Gastrointestinal conditions like ulcerative colitis also cause diarrhea. The condition involves uncontrolled bowel movement and normally grips people who lead unhealthy lifestyle. The medications which are used for treatment of diarrhea are known as antidiarrheals. Atropine combination and diphenoxylate are two most commonly used type of antidiarrheals.
Antiulcer
Peptic ulcers are painful sores in duodenum or stomach. Infection caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria is responsible for this condition. The medications which are used for treatment of peptic ulcers are known as antiulcer. Antiulcer medication helps in relieving symptoms like hurt-burn and promotes healing of peptic ulcer. Histamine (H-2) blockers are the most commonly used type of antiulcer medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are also a commonly used variant of antiulcer which helps in limiting secretion of stomach-acid and healing of peptic ulcer.
