My father has been taking lipikind since last 12 years. Now, since last 2 years, He's suffering from Liver swelling even he has no bad habits such as drinking, smoking etc. He'd left taking it for a while. In that period, there's a positive response from liver and it function well. But there is an increase in Cholesterol levels. So, he started to take Lipikind again & again there's the same problem occurs with the liver. Is any other generic should be taken instead of Atorvastatin so that liver functions well? Please suggest.

My husband sufer from hepatitis B an liver disease. His swelling stormac, he can't go to toilet as udual. Am worried. Any clue to that pls ## Your husband needs to seek medical attention immediately. Given his medical conditions, he may be in full liver failure and could be going into kidney failure, as well. Not going to the bathroom regularly, coupled with the bloating could signal that his body is no longer processing out the waste and toxins that is needs to get rid of frequently. Is he on any medications?

There is only one stone in my gall bladder and I am always having a burning pain in the upper part of my stomach / liver, and there is also swelling in my stomach as if I am pregnant, but I am only 23 years old. I am taking the Rabeprazole DSR tablets in the morning or whenever I am having pain in my stomach. Please advise me on what I should do moving forward. ## When I was younger, I had a terrible burning pain on and off in the upper part of my abdomen and swelling too, just as you described. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went into the hospital and found out I had gall stones and because I ignored it, they were about to pass into my liver and I could have died! My suggestion is that you go to a doctor and tell him you suspect you have a stone in your gall bladder! Then h...

Is conafec hard on your kidney"s or Liver? Is it safe to use for swelling and pain? ## Why can't I get the information on conafec that I requested? What am I doing wrong for a reply? ## Hello, Blondie! How are you? I'm very sorry that you had to wait for a response. Clofanec contains the active ingredient Diclofenac, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Yes, it may cause liver damage or failure, but that's very rare and usually occurs with prolonged use of high doses. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

does this cause liver damage, what are the side effects ## Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include: nausea, headache, dry mouth and dizziness. Learn more Diclofenac details here. And yes, it may cause liver damage in some people and please not that I have emphasized the word may. It happens to some people that take large amounts of it for long periods of time and yet others may do so for many years and never have a problem, so it is completely impossible to predict who will or will not have a problem develop from taking it. Has it been prescribed for you?

round white pill 54/583 ## Furosemide 40mg. It is used for: Treating fluid build-up and swelling caused by congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease. It is also used in combination with other medicines to treat fluid build-up in the lungs. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. ## The identification provided by randolf is correct, this is a 40mg Furosemide tablet. Learn more Furosemide details here. However, the information about congestive heart failure is reversed of what's true, it doesn't cause fluid build up, it's actually fluid build up that causes congestive heart failure. I just wanted to clarify that. And this medication may cause side effects, since it does remove fluid from the body and they may include nausea, he...
