Posted on Tue, 27 Oct 2015
Question: Is baralgin fairly safe for tummy discomfort? I'm not sure if the tummy ache is connected with a urinary infection that seemed to have cleared up with prescribed meds.

Brief Answer:
Urinary treat infection can cause abdominal pain, routine urine analysis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
Baralgin contains metamizole which has analgesic and anti spasmodic property.

For abdominal pain I would have preferred meftalspas tablets.
Urinary tract infection can cause abdominal pain. For UTI I would asked you for routine urine analysis with culture. As you have mentioned that you have taken the antibiotic course, I would have waited for three report and then decided on the medication.

Stomach ache is commonly due to acidity, presently I would suggest you to take capsule omez 20 mg before breakfast once daily for 5 days, and observe for any improvement.

Hope this helps, I'll be glad to answer your further queries.
Take care.

Thank you for your advice. In the Bahamas where I live, I'm not sure if the meds you mention are available. However, I'll ask a pharmacist about them.

I now remember the first drug I used was bactrim, with very little positive results. I was given a second round of the same, after which another drug was administered. Will monitor the situation and keep in touch.

Again, your help is much appreciated!

Brief Answer:
Ask for the drug and do the investigation as suggested

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Good to hear from you.

You can ask for omeprazole which is the generic formula of omez. It's available as OTC as well prescription brands. Check from your pharmacist.

I will also suggest that you do the investigation as suggested. Based on that we can decide on the management.

I'll be glad to help you out.
Take care
