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.

View allI'm 50 years old and just got my bilirubin test results back. The total is 2.4 and direct is 1.1. I'm really worried. Is this considered very high? What should I do next?
Your bilirubin test results, with a total bilirubin of 2.4 mgdL and direct bilirubin of 1.1 mgdL, are slightly elevated, but not alarmingly high, as the normal range is typically 0.1-1.2 mgdL for direct bilirubin and 0.2-1.3 mgdL for total bilirubin, so consult your doctor to discuss potential causes, such as liver inflammation, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis, and determine the best course of action.

I have several gallstones with the biggest one around 8mm. Can Ayurveda help treat this without surgery or is surgery the better option? What would you recommend?
To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.

Just had an ultrasound that showed multiple gallstones, biggest one is 8mm. Is there any ayurvedic medicine that can dissolve these stones so I don't need surgery? Really worried about going under the knife.
Ayurvedic herbs like bhumi amla and kalmegh are promoted but lack strong evidence. If gallstones are symptomatic, surgery remains the gold standard.
