Tratamiento gastrointestinal

Some gastrointestinal symptoms can be relatively minor and short-lived and are easily treated with over-the-counter medicines. For example, indigestión y reflujo ácido can be treated with antiácidos or medicines such as omeprazol. Symptoms of síndrome del intestino irritable (SII) can be relieved with mebeverina o hioscina. 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 enfermedad de Crohn – are treated with medicines such as budesonida, prednisolona y mesalazina.
