I've been experiencing really bad stomach pain lately so I went to see a gastroenterologist. They prescribed me LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 for a 5-day course. It's been 3 days now, and I'm still struggling with heavy gas and now a sharp pain in my back. Should I consult my doctor again right away, or is there something I can try at home to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Delayed menstruation can be concerning.
Given your symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain and backache, it's possible that your period is imminent.
Consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause for the delay.
If the test is negative, consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.
They may perform an ultrasound or other tests to determine the cause of the delay.
In the meantime, track your symptoms and maintain a menstrual calendar to help your doctor diagnose the issue.

I'm having some trouble with gastric issues and I'm trying to figure out if itopride is a safe option. Also, are the modes of action for itopride and levosulpride the same or are there some differences I should be aware of?
itopride is primarily used for gastrointestinal motility issues and has fewer neurological side effects. Levosulpiride is also used for gastrointestinal issues but can affect mood and has stronger sedative effects at higher doses due to its impact on dopamine and serotonin.Both drugs block dopamine D2 receptors, but Itopride also has cholinergic effects, stimulating acetylcholine release to aid digestion. This may make Itopride somewhat more specific for treating GI conditions. Levosulpiride, in addition to its prokinetic effects, has a neuropsychiatric effect, which makes it more effective for treating conditions like anxiety or depression at higher doses

I have an 8mm gallstone and my doctor is recommending surgery right away but I'm wondering if I can try liver flush methods first instead is that safe or effective
Liver flushes are unproven and risky—8 mm gallstones often need surgery if symptomatic; don’t delay.
