Brief Answer:
Yes, you can take digene.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Digene is safe in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Similarly, if the doctors prescribe pantoprozole or rabeprozole for gastritis, they are also safe. For headache, you can take DOLO 650 as and when necessary.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
