For the treatment of chronic pancreatitis, your doctor will prescribe medicines to help you manage your condition:painkillers and /or antidepressants to relieve chronic pain; synthetic pancreatic enzymes, e. g pancreatin, are given to replace the enzymes the pancreas can no longer make. You will usually need insulin injections-if your pancreas isn't producing enough insulin you may develop insulin-dependent diabetes. You will need daily injections of insulin to help control your blood sugar levels.
