Therapy of inflammation of the pancreas

Patients suffering from chronic inflammation of the pancreas should urgently avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages and nicotine. In addition, adequate pain therapy is an important step in the treatment of chronic inflammatory changes in the pancreas. In this context, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs for short) and opioids are mainly used.

In addition, various enzymes must often be supplied to the pancreas. Patients who develop secondary diabetes mellitus due to chronic inflammation of the pancreas are additionally treated with insulin.
