Hi,

Meftal spas can help relieve abdominal pain. So you can take it up to 2 times a day.

In liver damage, medicines that can affect the liver are best avoided.

Answered by Dr. Vaishalee Punj (32 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
One or two tablets is fine

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I don't know the reason of raised bilirubin in you. If its due to liver damage, then any medicine (including pain killers) that gets metabolised in liver must be taken with due precaution.

It may affect the liver if taken for a prolonged time or high doses.

In lower doses, it can cause gastritis. If your stomach pain is due to acidity, then also its better avoided.

Hope I have answered your query.
