I'm worried about my brother. His SGOT is at 80 and SGPT is 50. He doesn't drink much, maybe once a month, and he's on the heavier side. My dad had hepatitis B, but my brother was tested four years ago after my dad passed away, and his test came back negative. I'm really concerned about what could be going on with him. Could you help figure out what's happening?

I'm noticing some really loud noises coming from my stomach, and it's got me a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it just be related to my diet?

I'm a bit worried because the doctor originally wrote "Histac" on my friend's prescription, but the pharmacist gave them "Aciloc" instead. My friend didn't realize the difference at the time and used it without double-checking. Should we be concerned about this swap? Are Histac and Aciloc similar enough that it's okay, or should we reach out to the doctor just to be safe?

Histac and Aciloc are different medications, Histac is an antihistamine, while Aciloc is an antacidproton pump inhibitor; taking the wrong medication can be ineffective
