Can I Drink Alcohol with Ibuprofen, Ofloxacin & Amlodipine?
Iam 38 year old male iam consuming ibrufen 400 mg ofloxacin 200 mg amlodine 5 mg shall I take alcohol after how many hours of gap

Answered on 12th Sept '24
Avoiding the interaction of alcohol with these medications is essential. The risk of a stomach bleed and low blood pressure can be amplified by alcohol when taken with ibuprofen and amlodipine, whilst dizziness and drowsiness can worsen with ofloxacin and alcohol. It is wiser to refrain from alcohol for at least 24 hours after your last dose to ensure there are no harmful interactions.

Starting stage of khuni piles treatment
Male | 25
Bleeding piles, called hemorrhoids, have treatment options in early stages. Bright red blood shows up in stool or toilet water. Itching and discomfort around the anus happens. Bowel movements cause pain. Drink lots of water to avoid constipation. Eat fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Try over-the-counter ointments for relief. But if symptoms continue, see a gastroenterologist.

Hello Dr, I got gall bladder removed operation last year in October 2023but from few days I am feeling lih Ght pain in abdomen and stomach too hard, I am very upset please reply why.
Female | 39
You may be dealing with post-cholecystectomy syndrome. After the gallbladder removal, some people may still experience these ongoing symptoms which are abdominal pain and a hard stomach. This can occur due to reasons such as bile reflux or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. To help soothe the difficult symptoms, eat small frequent meals, exclude fatty foods, and drink enough water. Moreover, it would be advisable to discuss your symptoms with a gastroenterologist.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out of this pain, confusion and frustration. I am Rohan from Pune. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.And episodes of diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion(Leading Gastroentrologist in pune) . That doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) two times in a day along with Amixide h(chlorobenzodioxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain goes away completely like that problem doesn't exist.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just took those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. So I stopped using it completely since year. I want to get completely rid of these medicines and want to live normal life.
Male | 29
Gut issues can be challenging. You've successfully healed ulcers, which is great, but IBS challenges remain. IBS is common and can cause belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Often, stress or certain foods trigger it. Medications like Librax and Amixide H, prescribed by your gastroenterologist, can help manage the symptoms. However, lifestyle changes are also important. Stress relief methods, regular exercise, and a fiber-rich, healthy diet can make a significant difference.

I’m in the Creatine loading phase and my stomach feels bloated and my right side sometime feels irritated
Male | 18
During the creatine loading phase, bloating and stomach discomfort can occur due to increased water retention. If you're feeling irritation on your right side, consult a professional doctor like a gastroenterologist, as creatine supplementation is generally not associated with side specific irritation.

I am 18 yeras old.. I actually ate cheetos but the packet was kept open for 2 days in the cupboard..
Female | 18
If you have eaten Cheetos from a bag open for 2 days, you might get a sore stomach, feel sick, or have diarrhea. The reason for this is that when food is left out it gets covered in bacteria. The best way to help yourself is by drinking plenty of fluids such as water or squash eating plain things like toast and rice then resting If your condition deteriorates, visit a gastroenterologist.

I am 25 year old female I have a abdominal pain what's the reason
Female | 25
There are many explanations for why you could be feeling this way. It may be some food you ate like spicy food or too much. Another possible explanation is for gas or bloating. The other one is if your period starts and you're on it, menstrual cramps. Drinking lots of water, eating smaller meals, and taking over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen can help relieve the pain. If the pain continues or worsens, visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Why is my stomach side paining
Female | 22
Sometimes, stomach pains strike on one side. Gas or overeating may cause this discomfort. It also could be because of a strained muscle. However, more serious issues like ulcers or organ inflammation could also trigger such pain. If severe or persistent pain, medical consultation from a gastroenterologist is necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated. Rest up. Eat gentle and consume healthy food.

Female | 25
Your symptoms – pain near your tummy button, back discomfort, mild head ache, and feeling blocked up – could stem from gas buildup or constipation. Gulping water frequently, munching fiber-filled fare, and taking gentle strolls may be relieved. However, if troubles persist, consulting a gastroenterologist becomes important.
