GLOSSARY ^(summary)

antispasmodic
Medication that fights against spasms. Antispasmodics generally act by preventing the contraction of muscle fibers present in the wall of the intestine or urinary tract.


anaphylactic shock
Shock of allergic origin manifested by a sudden drop in blood pressure, due to extreme dilation of the blood vessels. It occurs after contact with an allergenic substance (food, insect bites, injection or drug absorption).


renal colic
Acute pain in the abdomen or back caused by a calculation that obstructs the urinary tract. These are usually calculations of uric acid or calcium salts.


colitis
Inflammation of part or all of the colon. It can be caused by a bacterial or parasitic infection, an inflammatory disease (Crohn's disease) or a bowel disorder (spastic colitis).


intramuscular
route or injectionInjection of a drug into a muscle, usually at the buttock. The effect of the drug, which only gradually passes into the bloodstream, is delayed but prolonged. A good prior disinfection of the skin is necessary, because this deep injection exposes to a risk of abscess. The pain caused by the bite depends mainly on the nature of the product used. This route of administration is contraindicated in hemophiliacs and in people undergoing anticoagulant therapy because it exposes them to a risk of hematoma of the buttock.
