I'm using duragesic for chronic
pancreatitis (genetic,not alcohol) pain.
The patch I put on this morning fell off
and landed in such a manner that I
couldn't reapply it. That'll leave me
with 3 days of no pain relief at the end
of the month.
I do have an old patch; I didn't need it
at the time because I was in the hospital
for a couple days and skipped it. The
expiration date is dec 05. I'm wondering
if a patch that old would offer me any
relief at all or if it's just useless by
now. Is there any reason using one that
old would actually be dangerous?

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the
pancreas that reduces the function of the
pancreas, causing pancreatic
insufficiency, malabsorption, and
diabetes. Acute pancreatitis is usually a
temporary condition and can be caused by
gallstones, excessive alcohol consumption,
high blood triglycerides, abdominal
injury, and other diseases, and by certain
medications and poisons. Chronic
pancreatitis is a slow, silent process
that gradually destroys the pancreas and
is most often caused by excessive alcohol
consumption.
Dr balch's nutritional team has created a
formula designed for acute episodes of the
disease. Powerful gastrointestinal
components have been added to promote
recovery and fortification of the local
system. Traditional botanicals with
anti-inflammatory and healing properties
are used alongside specific herbs for the
condition. Recovery is also addressed
with digestive aids.
Digestive enzymes with ox bile can assist
digestion and gallbladder function.
Proteolytic enzymes helps relieve strain
on the pancreas by enhancing protein
digestion. Pancreatin deficiency is often
present in people with pancreatitis. Raw
pancreas glandular is needed for
pancreatic repair mechanisms.
Lactobacillus acidophilus are essential
riendly?Bacteria for the health of the gi
tract. Chromium has been known to
stabilize blood sugar levels. Calcium and
magnesium are both helpful against
glandular disorders. Vitamin b complex
100, niacin and pantothenic acid are
considered anti-stress vitamins and are
also required in carbohydrate and fat
metabolism. Choline, inositol and
lecithin are involved in fat digestion.
Null ester c is a potent antioxidant and
it also promotes tissue healing. Burdock
root, null milk thistle extract and red
clove are natural blood and liver
cleansers. Dandelion benefits bile
production and pancreatic health. The
herbs echinacea and gentian root have been
shown to enhance the overall health of the
pancreatic system. Olive leaf extract has
been used for controlling inflammation.
Garlic provides strong anti-oxidation
protection.
