I'm dealing with an alcohol addiction and my liver function is acting up. I'm currently taking Udiliv 150, but sometimes I still end up drinking at night because of the cravings. I'm really concerned if taking Udiliv is safe when I'm also consuming alcohol. What should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Udiliv 150 contains Ursodeoxycholic acid, which is commonly used to improve liver function. However, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Udiliv as alcohol can further damage the liver and reduce the effectiveness of the medication. It is important to avoid alcohol completely to allow Udiliv to work effectively in improving your liver function.

View allI'm worried because my SGPT levels are high and I've been taking medication like Cirrosam 400, Obeticholic acid, Ursocol 300, and Evion for the past two months. The only one that seems to help is the Obeticholic acid. Interestingly, my lipid profile is normal and I've tested negative for Hepatitis B and C. My blood sugar levels are also within the normal range. On top of this, I've been dealing with hyperuricemia. Can you tell me how long it might take for my SGPT levels to get back to normal?

I'm a smoker and I also drink occasionally. I've been doing this for quite some time, and I'm concerned about keeping my liver healthy. I've heard about Liv 52 and was wondering if taking it once daily could help maintain my liver health. Is that something you would recommend, or is there something else I should consider?
Liv 52 can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy liver, especially if you are a smoker and occasional drinker. The recommended dosage for Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice daily. It contains natural ingredients that can help protect the liver and improve its function. However, it is important to also quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to further support your liver health.

I'm a bit concerned about understanding the difference between the HBsAg test done by the ELISA method and the ELFA method. My wife is HBsAg positive and she's been getting tested every 12 weeks. Her ELFA test results keep changing. If the percentage in the results is decreasing, does that mean she's getting better? Any insights on this would be really helpful.
Ideally there is no recovery from Hbsag if there is decrease in values that say viral load is decreasing but the disease is still there.
