I've been dealing with this really annoying itching around my anus for about a month now. I tried taking Zentel, but it hasn't helped at all. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be trying for relief?

Itching around the anus could be due to multiple causes, including infections, hemorrhoids, or skin irritation. Since Zentel hasnt helped, its unlikely to be worms. Keep the area clean and dry, use an anti-itch cream like hydrocortisone, and consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation.

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.
