I've recently had a routine checkup and my SGPT is 146 ul and SGOT is 56 ul. Plus, my cholesterol is a bit high at 210. It's the first time my SGPT and SGOT levels have been high, and I don't drink alcohol. Should I go back for more tests, or maybe stick to a suggested diet for a couple of months before seeing a doctor? What would you recommend?

I'm dealing with diabetes and have been experiencing some itching around my anus for about two weeks now. I took 400 mg of albendazole last night, suspecting it might be pinworms causing this. How long should I expect it to take for the symptoms to improve if pinworms are the issue?

I started taking Metrogyl 400 for a bad stomach yesterday, took it twice, and now I'm feeling better. Do I still need to keep taking it, or is it okay to stop? Will it cause any issues if I don't continue? I'm just wondering if its important to finish the whole course even if I'm feeling fine now.

-It's important to complete the full course of Metrogyl to ensure the infection is fully treated. Even if you're feeling better, stopping early can lead to a relapse or resistance. If you're unsure, it's best to consult your doctor for advice.
