I have 8mm gallstones and my doctor prescribed udilive 300 and zentac 300 for 3 months. Is there any way to get rid of gallstones without surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible.

Gallstones under 1 cm may sometimes dissolve with medications like ursodeoxycholic acid, but surgery remains the definitive cure to prevent future attacks.

Question

I'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?

Question

I recently had an LFT done and I'm a bit concerned about the results. My AST (SGOT) is at 174 UL, my ALT (SGPT) at 296 UL, and GGTP at 46 UL, although all other LFT results are normal. Can you help me understand what might be causing these elevated levels and suggest what kind of treatment I should consider? Also, would a general physician be enough for this, or should I see a liver specialist?
