My friend has been taking Colimex tablets for about seven months now, kind of using them like a drug. We're a bit worried because his SGPT level is 45. Could this be related to the Colimex, and what should he do about it?

I had surgery for a hiatus hernia two years ago but for the past three months I've been dealing with heartburn and esophagus pain. Is this normal after surgery? I took pantoprazole for a month but I'm not sure if it's the best option for GERD. Can you suggest other medications that might work better? I can't get an endoscopy where I live because the doctors and equipment aren't reliable so I need advice on managing this without that option

Yes, symptoms can recur post-surgery. Try other PPIs like esomeprazole or rabeprazole, or add alginate-based antacids. Avoid large meals, alcohol, and late-night eating. Elevate head while sleeping.
