View allI'm concerned about my health because my bilirubin level has reached 6.2, and despite having a normal MRI of my abdomen, my bilirubin keeps rising. Can you help me understand why this might be happening? I have my blood test report if you need any specific details from it.
Yes, you can take Dolo 650 (paracetamol) and Cetirizine together. No known significant interactions between the two. However, always follow dosage instructions and consult a doctor if: - You have pre-existing medical conditions - Taking other medications - Exceeding recommended doses

I'm really worried because my GGT level has gone up to 250. Is there any way to bring it down in about a week or so? Could you suggest any medications or treatments that might help? I'm really looking forward to your advice.
Elevated GGT levels can be indicative of liver or bile duct issues. To help lower your GGT levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). This medication can help improve liver function and reduce GGT levels. Additionally, you should avoid alcohol, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated to support liver health.

I've been on these PPI meds for over a year now - dexlansoprazole 60mg daily, esomeprazole 40mg daily, and levosulpiride 75mg daily - but I'm still dealing with acid reflux, esophagitis, and gastritis. What are the long-term side effects of staying on PPIs this long? Is it safe to keep taking them beyond a year? Are there any surgical options that could help cure this instead? I can share my endoscopy report if needed.
Long-term PPI use is generally safe but may cause low magnesium, B12 deficiency, and gut flora changes. Surgery (like Nissen) may help if you're not responding. Share endoscopy for detailed advice.
