I'm taking Liv 52 because I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, and I'm just a bit unsure about when exactly I should be taking it. Is it better to take it before meals or after?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can take Liv 52 before meals for better absorption and effectiveness. The recommended dosage is 1-2 tablets twice a day before meals.

View all**User Query:** I have a pedunculated polyp in the duodenal bulb that's just over 1 cm. My doctor mentioned removal, but I'm worried about risks like bleeding or perforation during the procedure. How safe is a gastroscopy or duodenoscopy for this? Also, if I don't remove it, could it grow bigger, cause blockage, or turn cancerous? Would I eventually need major surgery if I leave it?
A duodenal bulb polyp, especially if over 1 cm, is generally recommended for removal due to the increased risk of it becoming cancerous. While gastroscopy or duodenoscopy is generally safe, there are risks like bleeding and perforation, though the likelihood is low. If left untreated, the polyp could potentially grow larger, potentially obstructing the digestive tract, and there's a chance it could become cancerous. Major surgery is less likely, but may be needed if the polyp progresses or causes complications

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this pain on the right side of her chest for a couple of weeks now. We had an ultrasound and X-ray done, and the doctor mentioned something about liver enlargement and fluid in her lower lungs. The reports also showed WBC lymphocytes at 20 and neutrophils at 76, plus there's an infection in her urine. We've tried different medications, but her pain hasn't gotten much better. What should we do for treatment? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've noticed that my food smells a bit like vinegar, but it's not past its expiration date. Should I be concerned about eating it? Is it still safe to consume?
It is not recommended to consume medications that have changed in smell, as it may affect their effectiveness. It is best to dispose of them properly and consult with a pharmacist for a replacement.
