Abstract
GM is one of the most expensive drugs in our hospital, but its benefits are not very evident. Moreover, the international guidelines and literature ascribe to GM only a marginal role in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. Evidence-based medicine strengthens clinical experience with the evidence from the literature and underlines that essential drugs are used worldwide.
