A case of severe diarrhea caused by acupoint injection of Mingzusanli in Singapore

Abstract

A 63 year old female patient received oral administration of various drugs to promote digestion and gastrointestinal peristalsis due to multiple days of abdominal distension and poor appetite, but the effect was not satisfactory. Afterwards, bilateral Zusanli acupoints were intramuscularly injected with neostigmine mesylate injection (0.5mg on each side). From the afternoon of the medication day to the afternoon of the second day, diarrhea occurred 7-8 times, accompanied by mild abdominal pain. Discontinue the medication and take orally the Bacillus subtilis combination viable capsule, Bladder's yeast powder to regulate intestinal microbiota, and montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea. At the same time, provide nutritional support and fluid replacement treatment with total parenteral nutrition. On the evening of the second day after medication, the patient no longer had diarrhea.
