I'm using Himalaya Gasex tablets without a prescription. Is it safe for me to continue doing this?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Using Himalaya Gasex tablets without a doctor's prescription can be relatively safe for short-term use, as they contain natural ingredients like simethicone, dill oil, and caraway oil, which help alleviate gas, bloating, and indigestion; however, long-term or excessive use can interact with other medications or worsen underlying conditions,

Eating doesn't bother me, but afterward, it feels like the mucus shifts to my chest, even though I don't have a cough, cold, or a fever. I've also noticed a bit of pain in the middle of my chest.

I'm pretty confused about my liver test results. My GGT level came back at 58. Does anyone know what that actually means? Is it considered normal, or should I be worried about it? Any insights would be really appreciated.

High levels of GGT in the blood could indicate that the enzyme is leaking out of the liver cells and into the blood. This may suggest that there is damage to the liver or bile ducts.
