Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started on NORMET tablets due to an intestinal disturbance and mild fever. Have had two doses so far. Am experiencing a lot of discomfort and tightness just below the sternum. Have had antacids and donstal but does not seem to give any relief. Is it a side effect of normet or something else?
Based on the history you seem to have developed gastritis apparently caused by this medicine.
I suggest you to take a proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of gastritis however if the symptoms persist consult your doctor to rule out other causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
