Hi,

Your sgpt values are high and you should get your complete liver function test with serum albumin and hamoglobin,and if you have these reports then you will have to attach the reports.
You are on treatment for tuberculosis, r cinex is for tb, i m not sure what is there in brandon 40(please mention the drug in it,does it contain pyridoxine ?,kindly mention)
You have to have drugs or treatment for tuberculosis inspite of pregnancy,what is your question i din't get you kindly mention it in more detail.

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 11 years ago

Hi,

Tablet myconex has been stopped for the same reason becuase it contained few drugs which are not good for the baby(in womb),and were changed to r cinex which did not suit you.
I am no sure over the medicine medivine,please let me know what does it contain,is it a vitamin suppliment ?(if it is a vitamin suppliment you can have that for now)
I agree with the other doctor for you to stop tb medicine for a few days and you can have that tablet folmet,which contains a product whhoose deficiency is caused by anti tb drugs which you have been having and that will replinish the stores and then tb medicines could be started again.
Don't panic just stop those medicines for now for 7 days and then get your liver functions repeated and then we will restore your medicines if it comes back to normal.

Patient asked followup Question: 11 years ago

Thank you sir, Just let me know stopping anti tb medicine. Won't effect the baby. Because I am not taking it . I take only medicine Folvite.please suggest. It is ok for now.once my sgpt become normal I continue my anti Tb.

Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 11 years ago

Hi,

Tb medicines have to be stopped if your liver functions are disturbed acutely,however i don't have the other tests which are the other parameters for making a decision to stop tb medicine like prothrombin time,if that too is raised acutely then the drugs have to be stopped.
So you will have to give me details of all the test to make a decision and also examine you to tell you finally.
But yes these drugs have to be stopped for patients benefit and this will not have any bad effect on your baby don't worry.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Most probably you are suffering from fatty liver changes. Discontinuing drinking alcohol or cutting way back potentially can allow your liver to return to normal but it will take atleast 4 weeks. However , many people who suffer from enlarged liver don't drink too much, and need to look for diet low in what's called high glycaemic index.You should focus your diets around fresh, preferably raw fruits and vegetables, along with home made juices, and to purge your diets of all simple carboh ...

Hello, I have had a nail fungus for a good ten years or so. When I first noticed it, I went to my doctor and he game me lamasil which I stopped taking after a few days since it had negative affects on me. Thereafter, I stopped taking care of it and just let it go for a good 7 or 8 years. I eventually grew up and started getting very self conscious of how it looked and wanted to wear sandals and flip flops and not have people think nasty things about me. A few years ago I went to my doctor again and he gave me a topical oil which I used for over a year and did not see any results. About two years ago, I noticed that a vertical brown line was starting to grow from the bottom up. I went to a dermatologist who took a sample of my nail but did not take a sample of the nail bed or from the cuticle. Biopsy came back as of course it being a fungus. He in turn gave me pills to take which I also had to stop taking since it was having a bad affect on my liver. After that, my dermatologist said that he would give me laser treatments which I did two of. They did not clear it but it looks a little bit better then what it was before. Still thick, yellow, crumbling below the nail, nail bed where new nail is growing is darker then the others and the brown line is still there. It is a thick brown line. How did I get this brown line? Did I get it because of the prolonged damage of the nail bed due to the years of having the nail fungus?

Doctor's Answer

You're most welcome. Nail Melanoma does not affect multiple nails together while Longitudunal Melanonychia (LM) often does. The fact that an additional nail is showing changes is nearly conclusive that this is LM, which as I said is harmless. However it would be best to see your doctor to get this confirmed since I cannot see the affected area. I would recommend getting the entire nail removed if its the only one affected by fungus, but this will be solely to treat the fungus not because I thin ...

For my sister in the age of 14, few steroids injected to suppress the growth of an abscess which was grown due to herpes viral infection in the upper lip below nose. The abscess growth stopped and we satisfied about the medication. Now she is 30, but her personnel body growth is getting reduced day by day. She is around 40 kg now. We have a doubt, is there any side effect happened because of the steroid injected.

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Steroids given by systemic route play a role in body stunting,but once the full body size is achieved or height is achieved,then body stunting doesn't occur and steroid leads to increase in weight gain and does not reduce weight. So if her personal body growth is reducing now after gaining full weight and height, the cause should not be steroid taken at that tender age,and she should have a detailed examination and investigation to find out the cause of the disease. Feel free to ask more ...

Hi Puneet, Every time i eat something i have this inflammatory sensation in my throat that's kind of very uncomfortable. I cannot eat spicy food at all these days. Every time i eat junk food like burgers or Pizza or KFC, i end up having problem with my stomach (stomach upset mostly). This problem started since 2010 when i was doing night shifts for my company. There was a time when i did graveyard shift for 3 consecutive weeks. I stopped doing night shifts after i had problems with my stomach. I have a very tough time in finding food of my taste here. I generally prefer salads and bland food. Fruits rich in alkaline level tend to help me a lot. I'm not married yet, so its very difficult for me to find such food everywhere especially at my workplace. I consume alcohol every weekend but next day morning i end up having acidity. So i have to take ENO (fruit salt) to feel better. This has been the case since 3 years now. The only food which suits me is Bland food and fruits (especially the ones rich in alkaline level). I would really appreciate your help with this. Thanks!

Doctor's Answer

Hi, You can have acinil-o along with pantoprazole but pantop will have better effects than acinil-o. Then in 7th point I told about alcohol and not water. Alcohol also causes acidity,specially empty stomach,so you may have alcohol after having some food. In fact you should have plenty of water which I had missed to tell you. Feel free to ask further question. ...
