Can Levoday And Bricarex Be Taken When Suffering From Diabetic Nephropathy?
Question: Earlier tonsilitis used to be treated successfully with Levoday (course of 5 capsules) and Bricarex syrup. Recently, I have been diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. Is it still safe for me to take Levoday and Bricarex as earlier?

You may take
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Though you have developed diabetic nephropathy levoday and bicarex may be taken safely for your tonsillitis for 5 days course. It also depends upon your urea and creatinine levels.
Both these drugs are not having much effect and are not a known nephrotoxic. Nor these drugs interact with antidiabetic drugs.
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Can you please tell me the implications of this opinion below:
Opthalmologist' Opinion: Grade III Hypertensive Retinopathy with Moderate Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy changes seen.s
Opthalmologist' Opinion: Grade III Hypertensive Retinopathy with Moderate Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy changes seen.s
Brief Answer:
Retina changes due to Hypertension and Diabetes
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
The opinion implies that you are suffering from retinopathy(changes in retina due to persistent or acute damage) both due to hypertension and diabetes.
Hypertensive retinopathy is more severe compared to diabetic one which is non proliferative in you.
With these changes you are more prone for developing coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke and atery occlusion leading to selective or complete blindness.
Its not that these will occur 100%. But risk again increases if BP and Blood sugar is not under control.
To prevent these BP, blood sugar and cholesterol needs to me maintained in normal range.
