I'm struggling with acid reflux and I'm taking a lot of medications for it. But I'm really looking for ways to prevent it in the first place. Can you give me some tips or advice on how to manage it better without over-relying on medicine? I'm concerned and would appreciate some guidance.

View allI'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?
SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes. A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly. There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis. LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.

I'm 23 and I've been dealing with constipation for the past six months, even though I eat well. I saw a gastroenterologist and followed their treatment plan, but the relief was only temporary and the issue keeps coming back. I take Meftal Spas for my period pain and read somewhere that this medication might affect bowel movements. Could that be causing my constipation? I also feel lazy all the time and have a thyroid problem. What should I do about this?
Meftal Spas, which contains dicyclomine and paracetamol, can indeed cause constipation as a side effect. To help with your constipation, you can try taking a stool softener like Duphalac (Lactulose) 15-30 ml once daily at night. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake with a supplement like Metamucil (Psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can also be beneficial. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and stay physically active. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your constipation.

I'm dealing with acid reflux and only have aciloc rd at home. Is it okay to use aciloc rd for this? If so, what would be the right dose? I'd really prefer not to go out for more medicine due to the lockdown.
take one tablet at early morning before food
