Management of Parkinson's disease

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

(Redirected from Anti-parkinson drug)

Management of Crohn's disease involves a two-step process: initially treating the acute symptoms of the disease, and then maintaining remission. Since Crohn's disease is an immune system condition, it cannot be cured by medication or surgery.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Treatment initially involves the use of medications to eliminate infections and reduce inflammation. The types of medications generally used include:

  • Antibiotics - These are used to eliminate any infections that may be present.
  • Aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drugs - These are used to reduce inflammation.
  • Corticosteroids - These are also used to reduce inflammation.

Surgery[edit | edit source]

In some cases, surgery may be required for complications such as obstructions, fistulae, abscesses, or if the disease does not respond to drugs within a reasonable time. However, surgery cannot cure Crohn's disease. The procedure involves removing the diseased part of the intestine and rejoining the healthy ends. Despite this, the disease tends to recur after surgery.

Maintenance[edit | edit source]

Once the acute symptoms have been treated, the next step is to maintain remission. This involves regular check-ups and monitoring of the condition, as well as continued use of medication as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
