I'm having this weird pain on the right side of my ribs, kind of up close to my throat area. I've been taking rabekind medicine, but I'm just really curious about what's causing this. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

I had laparoscopic surgery a while back but still get morning nausea and a bloated stomach sometimes. I've been taking nexpro rd 40 on an empty stomach in the morning, acta pro 100 mg three times a day, folvite two tablets three times a day, and essogress l before dinner at 8 pm since March 2019. How much longer do I need to keep taking these meds?

it's highly recommended to speak with your doctor about the ongoing need for these medications, especially since you've been taking them for a long period. They can assess your individual situation, consider the benefits and risks of continuing the medications, and determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

I've been dealing with some tough acidity and gas issues lately. I usually take a Topcid 40 tablet when this flares up, but I'm not sure if it's the right move. Is it safe and effective for what I'm experiencing? Also, are there any tips you could give me to help avoid these problems in the future? And one more thing - between Topcid and Digene, which one is actually better for stuff like acidity or gas?

I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?

Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.
