Is liveraide silymarin capsules good for hepatic liver cyst? Does it inhibit the infection of the liver? thank u very much. ## is liveraide silymarin capsule good for hepatic liver cyst? ## Silymarin is actually an herbal supplement derived from the Milk Thistle plant and as such, it hasn't actually been tested and proven to do anything. It is classified as a flavonoid. It is believed, but as I said, not scientifically proven, that these substances have a protective effect on the liver. Thus, you shouldn't solely count on it to treat, cure or prevent any liver disease. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments? ## how long will silymarin effects? ## hello po.. ask ko lang po kasi nagpa(hepa sreening) po ako reactive po ang result.. tapos ang reseta po ng doctor sakin silym...

I have liver cancer and am takeing purbac for bladder infections, I am very sick on the tablets, is there an alternative? ## Hello, Frans! How are you? The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. The appropriate antibiotic depends on which bacteria has caused the relevant infection. Is there anything else I can help with?

can omeprazole cause elevated levels on liver functioning tests(blood) ## I was prescribed omeprazole 40 mg for a bad sinus infection. Does this seem right? ## Yes, the FDA does list elevated liver enzymes as being a possible side effect, but it is very rare, usually occurring in less than 1% of the people that take it. How high were your enzyme levels? Depending on how high they were, it may not be due to the Omeprazole. Is that the only medication you are currently taking? Has your doctor done any other testing? Bob, no, this is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to help prevent, or treat conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, gastritis, and ulcers. Are you sure that's what was prescribed?

I have infection in my leg and doctor prescribed the medication for me and told me that I have to take it for at least half year. I am wondering if it will hurt my liver and my stomach because I have never heard that one should take antibiotic for more than 21 days. ## Hello, Lil! How are you? No, sometimes for a severe infection, it is necessary to take an antibiotic for a very long time. Some people that are prone to infections take them daily, for life, as a preventative. The only hepatic issue of concern is if you already have impaired liver function. However, if yours is fine, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. But feel free to discuss your concerns with your doctor to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headach...

Has Azithral any side effect on liver? ## Azithral contains the active ingredient Azithromycin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Azithromycin details here. And most medications are processed through the liver, so there is the risk of some liver damage, or rare reactions of lowered liver function, but usually antibiotics are taken for such a short period of time that they rarely cause such issues. Do you have a liver problem?

I've got Trush nd I've been taking Eryko 250 for about 3months now but the infection doesn't want 2 go away, one of my worries is that I'm pregnant is my baby and I have liver damage since Eryko damages the Liver #sad# ## Eryko contains the active ingredient Erythromycin, it is an antibiotic and is not effective at treating Thrush. Learn more Erythromycin details here. You may actually be worsening the Thrush by taking it, because regular antibiotics can cause these types of yeast infections. That's probably why it hasn't gone away. Learn more Thrush details here. To treat this, you need an antifungal medication and, since you are pregnant, you need to consult your doctor to help you find one that is available to you and safest for you to use while pregnant.

is it possible that stress may affect sgpt and holesterol only? ## Hello, Laki1958! How are you? No, if SGPT is raised, it is due to something affecting your liver, such as an infection, another medication you're on, hepatitis or etc. And Cholesterol is exactly that, elevated cholesterol levels. Is there anything else I can help with?

I got the tablets for an infection and I'm pregnant. Will it have any effects? ## Eryko contains the active ingredient Erythromycin, it is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. And no, in the U.S. the FDA has found it to cause Hepatoxicity (liver damage) in pregnant women. While it is reversible, when the medication is discontinued, it can endanger both the mother and baby, so they have not approved it for use during pregnancy. I suggest you contact your doctor about why they prescribed this one and ask them about using an alternative medication. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am 39 weeks pregnant and a hospital doctor gave me Anaerobyl 200 and Eryko 250 to use for a urinal/vaginal tract infection. Will it harm my baby? I am having side effec...

i'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HIGH CRP and I am trying to find what is causing it and what to do about it. ## CRP is produced by the liver and by fat cells (adipocytes). The most common cause of C Reactive Protein is infection. If you have burning on urination, getting up in the night to urinate, urgency when your bladder is full all the time, check for a urinary tract infection. If you have wheezing and a chronic cough or shortness of breath, check for a lung infection. If you have belching and burning in your stomach. I would speak with your M.D. and ask he/she the right treatments for you. ## For talking care of High CRP levels discuss Revozyme Forte with your Doc

My 7 year old is taking sulfameth-trimeth suspension (10 ml 2xday) for a skin infection. She hit her head and I would like to give her ibuprofen for the headache, but I'm worried about interactions and her tiny liver. ## Hello, Rchael! How is your daughter doing? While in theory it is safe, it would be best to check with her doctor first, due to her age. It's also a very good idea to do so, if she hit her head hard enough to cause a headache. With children, it's always best to be careful and play it safe. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
