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.

I'm really worried about my sister's blood test results. Her levels showed 94 instead of being under 20. Plus, her Immuno serology C.R.P is at 9.2 but should be below 6. The total WBC is fine at 11000, and the rest of the results seem normal. Is this something serious? How long might it take for her to get better? Could surgery be necessary? We're hoping for some guidance on what steps to take next. Can you please help?
it appears that your sister may have an elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 94, which is higher than the normal range of less than 20. This could indicate inflammation or infection in the body. The C.R.P (C-reactive protein) level of 9.2 is also elevated, suggesting the presence of inflammation. To address this issue, your sister may need to take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen to help reduce the inflammation. In addition, if there is an underlying infection, antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is no mention of surgery in the information provided, so surgery is not likely to be required to resolve this issue. Recovery time can vary depending on the underlying cause of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. It is important for your sister to follow up with her healthcare provider for further testing and treatment as needed. In summary, it is recommended that your sister follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. Anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics may be necessary to address the inflammation or infection. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are important for her recovery."
