I'm really worried because I've been taking dulcoflex tablets every night, and now it feels like I'm reliant on them. It all started back when I was 18 and dealing with constipation issues. I was also over 100 kg, but then I managed to get down to 75 and have kept it there. I just don't want this to turn into a lifelong dependency. How do I break this habit, and what should I be doing instead for the constipation? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Addiction to any drugchemical can cause the body to develop a physiological dependancy on it. This means that normal bowel movements will become impaired and this can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and dystonia of intestinal musculature. Seek professional help if you are unable to stop the habit on your own.

View allI'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?
It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because I've had gastritis since 1998, but these past two weeks have been different. I've been feeling this nagging burning sensation in my upper chest that spreads to my upper back and sometimes even to my arms. It gets worse when I'm lying down in bed, making it quite uncomfortable. I've tried taking some antacid tablets and they worked a bit, but the pain is still pretty intense and annoying. Could this be something more serious, or is there something else you'd recommend I do to get this under control?

My sister's SGOT and SGPT levels are really high, with SGPT being around 5000. What could this mean for her health? Are there any specific precautions or treatments she needs to consider? She's currently admitted to the hospital, and we're quite worried. Could you please guide us on what to expect and how we can help her in this situation?
High levels of SGOT and SGPT indicate liver damage. An SGPT level of around 5000 is significantly elevated and indicates severe liver injury. Your sister is already admitted in the hospital which is the right decision. The doctors will likely run further tests to determine the underlying cause of the liver damage. In the meantime, she may be given medications like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to help protect her liver cells. It is important for her to avoid alcohol, fatty foods, and any medications that can further harm the liver. She may also need to follow a specific diet plan recommended by the healthcare team. The treatment and precautions will depend on the specific cause of the liver damage, so it's important to follow the advice of her healthcare providers.
