I'm 29 and I've been going to the gym regularly. I've started taking Blong tablets, and I'm a bit worried. Could these tablets be causing weight gain and constipation?

I'm really worried about my 80-year-old dad. He got diagnosed with a throat infection recently and he was already feeling weak, so they had to give him a blood transfusion. Now the doctor says he's got jaundice and might only have two to three months left. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's anything we can do?

It is important to follow the doctor's advice closely and ensure he is comfortable and well taken care of during this time.

I've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often and I'm always hungry, even after eating a big meal. I've also noticed I'm losing weight and there's some itching around the anal area. I've done a bunch of tests but everything comes back normal. Could you suggest what might be going on or recommend some medication that could help? I'm really worried about these symptoms.

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as high urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, and anal itching, despite normal test results, may be related to the laxative Dulcoflex (bisacodyl); consider stopping or reducing the medication and switching to a fiber supplement like Psyllium Husk or methylcellulose to manage constipation

I've been having some diarrhea and mild pain in the upper part of my stomach since yesterday. The pain eases when I go to the bathroom, but my stools are really watery. Should I be taking Ciplox TZ or Noflox TZ for this? And how much should I take?
