Inflammatory Bowel Disease (old version, with sound) - CRASH! Medical Review Series

For just $1/month, you can help keep these videos free! Subscribe to my Patreon at Addenda: When a pt is in active IBD, colonoscopy should be avoided (increased risk of perforation). Also, anti-spasomodics (i.e., dicycloverine) and anti-diarrheals (i.e., bismuth/Pepto-Bismol) only ameliorate symptoms and are never the right answer for therapy (as far as the USMLE goes). Tacrolimus is used clinically for IBD quite often, but do not worry about it for the test.
