Overview
Administration of NSAIDs in the patients with biliary colic prevents the progression to acute cholecystitis.
Primary Prevention
- Administration of NSAIDs in the patients with biliary colic prevents the progression to acute cholecystitis.[1][2]
- NSAIDs such as diclofenac or indomethacin is used in the patients with biliary colic for their analgesic effects and their inhibition of prostaglandin release from the gallbladder wall.
- Administration of diclofenac (75 mg; intramuscular injection) in patients with biliary colic attack relieved the pain and prevented the progression of the disease to acute cholecystitis.[2]
