My mom is 51 and has been dealing with acidity issues. Her recent endoscopy showed bile reflux. Can this be treated with medications or does she need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Bile reflux is usually treated with medications and, in some cases, surgery. While lifestyle changes and antacids can help with acid reflux, they are less effective for bile reflux.

View allI'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.
