Introduction
Gallbladder distension and pain can be effectively treated with medications such as antispasmodics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and analgesics, as directed by a physician according to the progression of the condition. Antispasmodic drugs help relieve pain caused by gallbladder spasms. Examples include racemic anisodamine tablets and atropine tablets. These medications alleviate pain by inhibiting gallbladder contraction and reducing intraluminal pressure.
Depending on the progression of gallbladder distension and pain, medications such as antispasmodics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and analgesics can be selected under medical guidance, which generally yield good therapeutic effects. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Antispasmodic drugs
Antispasmodic drugs can relieve pain caused by gallbladder spasms. Medications include racemic anisodamine tablets, atropine tablets, etc. These drugs alleviate pain by inhibiting gallbladder contraction and reducing intraluminal pressure.
2. Anti-inflammatory drugs
Anti-inflammatory drugs exert anti-inflammatory effects and include cefixime dispersible tablets, metronidazole tablets, etc. These medications suppress bacterial growth and reproduction, reduce inflammatory responses, and thereby alleviate gallbladder distension and pain.
3. Analgesics
Analgesics help relieve pain and include enteric-coated aspirin tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release tablets, etc. The active ingredients in these drugs reduce pain sensation by inhibiting the transmission of pain signals.
In addition to the above medications, lithotriptic drugs may also be used for treatment. Medication use must be guided by a qualified physician, and self-medication should be avoided. Patients should also pay attention to dietary adjustments and improvements in lifestyle habits to prevent and manage gallbladder diseases.
