Prescribed Levogastrol For Esophagus Blockage When Swallowing. Should I Take Medication Regularly?
Hi...for about six or seven years now I have occasionally suffered a quite severe blockage in the oesophagus when swallowing ... often when eating lightly glutinous rice dishes. The doctor in Spain (where I lived until recently) prescribed Levogastrol which I took for about 2 years. The attacks did become much less frequent. And I`ve only had one mild blockage in the last couple of months. I am 73.Do you think i should continue to take Levogastrol regularly? C Willoughby YYYY@YYYY
