Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
sir,I have left abdominal pain.it is chronic.Doctor says it is dyspepsia and prescribes meftalspas daily 2.it gets cured.After somedays it appears again.undergone colonoscopy .nothing abnormal.pain is continuous.pleasesuggest remedy treat ment. R.k.rao
If I were your treating doctor, I would not prescribe meftal spas for dyspepsia. I would suggest you to make a few lifestyle modifications and reduce the intake of fried and high fat food. Make a daily routine for exercise and make it a point to eat atleast 3 hours before you go to sleep.
Take a spoonful of an anti acid such as liquid gelusil three times a day after your meals.
If it is dyspepsia, it should be relieved by the above mentioned means. For a longer term cure, you can take Omeprazole tablets 20mg daily in the morning on an empty stomach (Atleast half an hour before eating anything else).
If gelusil does not relieve your pain, please get an ultrasound of the abdomen done to rule out kidney stones.
I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to get back to me in case you have any more doubts.
