A member asked:

Hello dr. i have got a case of acute on chronic calcific pancreatitis.. is ercp with eswl only treatment option available or any medicines ??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No meds: There are no medications that will help with the stones. Surgical treatment by a surgeon with experience and interest in chronic pancreatitis has the best chance at longer lasting pain relief, but is obviously more invasive than ERCP with ESWL. Hope this helps!
