There is not currently a medication that can cure fistulas. However, medication may be used as part of a treatment program. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics to help clear up the infection causing or worsening the condition of the fistula. People with Crohn's or diverticular disease may take medication, usually anti-inflammatories, that can help stop an existing fistula from worsening and prevent new ones from developing.
