I'm having trouble finding Silybon 140 that was prescribed for me to take three times a day. Would it be okay if I instead take two doses of Silybon 70, also three times a day? I'm a bit worried about making sure I get the right amount of medication.

-Yes, you can use two Silybon 70 tablets three times a day as a substitute for Silybon 140, as the total dosage will be the same. However, it's always best to confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking cremaffin plus syrup for her constipation and piles for like three and a half months now. But lately, she's been making these odd stomach noises at night, like "doorrr doorrr," and now she's got diarrhea since yesterday. Is it safe for her to keep taking the syrup with diarrhea, or should she maybe lower the dose?
, it's recommended to stop or reduce the dose of Cremaffin Plus syrup temporarily if your mom is experiencing diarrhea, as the syrup is a laxative and may exacerbate diarrhea; instead, encourage her to stay hydrated with electrolyte-rich fluids, and consider an antidiarrheal medication like loperamide if advised by her doctor.

I'm really worried because I had this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest yesterday. My family doctor prescribed me some gastric tablets like Ocid and Topnac P. But now, whenever I burp, it feels like something is poking or pricking me on the left side of my chest. I'm wondering if this is just muscle tightness or if it could be something more serious like a heart issue or just gastric problems. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing gastric issues rather than heart-related problems or muscle tightness. The medications you have been prescribed are Ocid for gastric issues and Topnac P for pain relief. Ocid helps reduce stomach acid production and Topnac P is a pain reliever. The symptoms you are describing, such as sharp pinning pain in the left side of your chest and a pricking feeling when burping, are common symptoms of gastric problems. It is important to take the medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them if the symptoms persist or worsen.

I recently recovered from jaundice, and my bilirubin levels were as high as 15. I'm feeling better now, but I'm curious about when it would be safe for me to get back to the gym. Also, is it okay to start taking my protein shakes and other dietary supplements again?
After recovering from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15, it is important to give your body enough time to fully recover before resuming intense physical activity and taking dietary supplements. It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks after your bilirubin levels have returned to normal before gradually reintroducing exercise. When you do start exercising again, start slowly and listen to your body. As for protein shakes and dietary supplements, it is best to consult with a nutritionist or dietitian to determine the right timing and dosage based on your individual needs. It is important to focus on a balanced diet with whole foods to support your recovery and overall health.
