I'm struggling with high triglycerides and my doctor suggested taking TriCor 48mg, but I can't find it in the market. Can I use Fenocor 35mg instead? Will it be effective for me? I've also got a fatty liver, grade 2, and I've been dealing with triglycerides since 2016. I tried managing it with diet but didn't succeed and only now am I starting medication. Plus, I've had Gilbert Syndrome since 2001. My triglyceride level is at 442. Could you please advise on what I should do?

Since Tri Cor 48mg is not available in the market, you can consider taking Fenocor 35mg as an alternative. Fenocor contains the active ingredient Fenofibrate, which is commonly used to lower high triglyceride levels. It can also be beneficial for patients with fatty liver disease. Given your current Triglyceride level of 442, Fenocor 35mg can help in reducing your triglyceride levels and managing your condition. However, it is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm wondering if drinking lemon water in the morning can actually help with bloating or if it might cause any side effects. I've been trying it out, but I feel like I'm having more gas building up in my stomach since I started. Should I keep drinking it, or is this a sign I should stop?

Look for products labeled as "sensitive skin" or "bikini area" friendly. 2. _Follow instructions carefully_: Always follow the instructions provided with the hair removal cream, and perform a patch test before applying it to your private parts. 3. _Avoid using hair removal creams on broken or irritated skin_: This can increase the risk of adverse reactions, such as burns, redness, or itching. _Possible Side Effects_ 1. _Skin irritation_: Redness, itching, burning, or stinging sensations can occur, especially if you have sensitive skin. 2. _Chemical burns_: Using hair removal creams incorrectly or on broken skin can cause chemical burns. 3. _Ingrown hairs_: Hair removal creams can cause ingrown hairs, especially in curly or coarse hair. 4. _Skin darkening_: Some hair removal creams can cause skin darkening or hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin tones. _Sexual Health Concerns_ 1. _No direct impact on sexual health_: Hair removal creams are unlikely to affect sexual health directly. However, skin irritation or infections can cause discomfort during sexual activity. 2. _Maintain good genital hygiene_: After using hair removal creams, wash the area thoroughly and maintain good genital hygiene to prevent infections. _Alternative Hair Removal Methods_ 1. _Waxing or sugaring_: These methods can provide longer-lasting results and may be more suitable for private parts. 2. _Depilatory creams or epilators_: These alternatives can be used for hair removal, but it's essential to follow instructions carefully and perform patch tests.
