The place of antispasmodic drugs in modern therapy of irritable bowel syndrome
https://doi.org/10.21518/ms2023-127
Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional disease of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting a large number of adults worldwide, and leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life. IBS places a heavy burden on patients, most of whom are able-bodied population, as well as doctors and the healthcare system. The pathogenesis of this disease is multifactorial and includes the brain-intestine axis, disorders of the immune function of the mucous membrane, visceral hypersensitivity, changes in the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, changes in the microbial composition of the intestine. Based on the fact that changes in intestinal motility and visceral hypersensitivity are among the key factors in the pathogenesis of the disease, he use of antispasmodic drugs as part of complex therapy is justified. Mebeverin is a myotropic antispasmodic drug recommended for use in patients with IBS according to Rome IV Criteria, as well as clinical recommendations of the Russian Gastroenterological Association and the Association of Coloproctologists of Russia. According to available data, mebeverin has proven to be an effective and safe antispasmodic used to treat patients with IBS. The article presents a clinical case demonstrating the experience of effective use of the drug Mebespalin®. A patient with a diagnosis of IBS with a predominance of constipation is recommended to take an antispasmodic, as well as lifestyle modification – the addition of fiber-rich foods, sufficient drinking regime and increased physical activity. A week after the start of treatment, the patient noted an improvement in her condition – abdominal pain did not bother, the stool normalized.
