Question 2

I'm worried because my SGPT levels aren't going down, although my SGOT levels are normal. I'm thinking about starting Liv52 to see if it helps lower my SGPT. How long should I keep taking it, and is it actually effective for this issue? Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

SGPT (ALT) levels may not decrease quickly with Liv52 alone, as it primarily supports liver health but doesn't directly treat underlying causes. It's important to identify the cause of the elevated SGPT and follow your doctor's guidance. You can continue Liv52 for a few weeks, but a healthcare provider's advice is key.

Question 3

I'm a mom to a 23-day-old baby and was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during my 8th month of pregnancy. Today I'm feeling pain in my upper abdomen again. The stone size is 9mm. Is it safe for me to take drotin tablets right now? I can't consider surgery at this stage with such a small baby

Accepted Answer

Drotin is generally safe post-pregnancy but consult your OB; manage diet and hydration, and avoid surgery if pain is mild.
