I'm a bit worried because my mom got prescribed Sompraz 40 for her Rheumatic Arthritis side effects, but the pharmacy gave us Sompraz D 40 instead. Do you think it's okay to use this one or should I try to get it exchanged for the original prescription? Just want to make sure she's taking the right medication.

Sompraz and Sompraz D 40 are related but not identical medications.
Sompraz typically contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid.
Sompraz D 40, on the other hand, is a combination medication containing Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps with gastrointestinal motility.
If your mom's doctor prescribed Sompraz, it's likely they intended for her to take only the Pantoprazole. Taking Sompraz D 40 might not be harmful, but it's essential to clarify with her doctor to ensure she receives the intended treatment.

View allI'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks. Right now, I'm dealing with some unwanted swellings and really bad back pain. How can I bring this level down quickly? Would love some advice on this.
To help reduce your CRP level and manage the symptoms you are experiencing, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. It is important to also follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to further improve your condition.

What happens if the synovial membrane in the knee joint bursts? Can it heal on its own, and if so, how long does it typically take for recovery? I'm really concerned about what to expect with this kind of injury.

I'm experiencing a sore throat, night fevers, and sweating a lot. I've also lost my appetite and have body aches. My left leg is swollen and feels really hard to move, which is making it tough to sleep and wake up. My urine showed bacteria, and I had a Mantoux test done. They mentioned my ESR is raised, and my calcium levels are lower than normal. What could be going on with my health?
