I'm wondering if it's okay to take Ciplox and Nexpro tablets on an empty stomach. Are there any side effects I should worry about? I've got food poisoning, so I'm a bit concerned about what meds I can take safely.

It is generally safe to take Ciplox (Ciprofloxacin) with Nexpro (Esomeprazole) on an empty stomach. Ciplox is an antibiotic that can help treat bacterial infections, while Nexpro is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce stomach acid. However, it is important to note that Ciplox may be less effective if taken with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices. As for harmful effects, both medications can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is advisable to take Ciplox with a full glass of water and Nexpro before meals for best results.

View allI've been having this burning sensation in my stomach whenever I eat something, and it's really uncomfortable. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed rabimac dsrmedigaszincovit, which did help while I was taking it. But after I finished the medicine and took a break for a day, the burning feeling came back. What should I do now?

I've been dealing with these analrectal cuts and itching for almost a week now, and I think it's anal fissures. I'm using T Bact and Fucidin H cream, which seems to help, but the cuts keep spreading. Even after they heal, my skin still feels itchy and irritated. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting these anal cuts so often, especially since there hasn't been any anal intercourse to stress the area. What should I do?
You may be experiencing recurrent anal fissures, which can be quite uncomfortable. The use of topical ointments like T Bact and Fucidin H cream can help with healing, but it's important to address the underlying cause to prevent recurrence. To help prevent anal fissures and promote healing, I recommend the following: - Keep the anal area clean and dry - Increase your fiber intake to soften stools and make bowel movements easier - Stay well-hydrated - Avoid straining during bowel movements - Consider using a stool softener if needed - Sitz baths can help soothe the area and promote healing In addition, you may benefit from using a topical ointment like Rectogesic (glyceryl trinitrate) to help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing of the fissures. If these measures do not provide relief or if the fissures continue to recur, I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

The doctor recommended I get an operation but I'm really hesitant about endoscopy surgery. I'm also worried about taking time off work since getting leave is tough. Are there any other options I could consider instead of surgery?
Patient is advised for the gastroenterologist opinion for further treatment.
