Overview
The mainstay of treatment for acute cholecystitis is surgery. Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended for patients with acute cholecystitis in which surgery is delayed.
Medical Therapy
- Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended for patients with acute cholecystitis in which surgery is delayed and in complicated cases.
- Antibiotics are not indicated for the conservative management of acute calculous cholecystitis or in patients scheduled for cholecystectomy.[1]
- Empiric pharmacologic medical therapies for acute cholecystitis include either amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, or ceftriaxone with metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin with metronidazole.
- Empirically administered antimicrobial drugs should be changed for more appropriate agents, according to the identified causative microorganisms and their susceptibility testing results.
