I am undergoing treatment for Acute on Chronic Pancreatitis. There were 3 over sized psuedo cysts in lower sac of pancreas. I am undergoing treatment since March 2013. Now two cysts have reduced to almost nothing and another remaining one is said to be very small in size. Till recently, I was taking CREON 25000 daily thrice. Three months back that drug has been discontinued. Now my blood sugars are mostly in the range of FBS : 125 to 140 and PLBS : 140 to 170. Currently, I am taking Glyciphage 500 mg in the morning and 1000 mg in the night. Also, I am taking Cobadex CSZ one table daily at the bed time. Could tell me if I am on right track to recovery and how long would the treatment for pancreatitis would continue ? Is it life time problem that I am to face with the medical condition I got in to ? Also , please let me know the benefits of cobadex CSZ !
Hi. Unfortunately, the treatment will be lifelong as yours is a case of acute on chronic pancreatitis. There are many substitutes available in the market in place of Creon. This is good that you still do not need insulin to control your blood sugar. Caobadex or other anti-oxidants do help the patients, and in your case must be taken as the intestinal absorption is going to different from the normal persons.
