Medication To Avoid In Gilberts Syndrome

I have recently been diagnosed with Gilberts Syndrome . The doctor I saw was useless and simply told me to google it. What medications should I avoid? I have read that paracetomol is not good but I don t know, really, what I should be doing. A simple, clear and consise list of medications to avoid along with symptoms and what to look for would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Friend.

First of all , no doctor is idiot.

As you must have googled about it.

Gilbert syndrome, unconjugated benign bilirubinemia is a genetic condition. It is a mild liver disorder in which bloodstream levels of bilirubin - a liver enzyme - are abnormal. The condition is harmless and patients do not usually need treatment.
Infact it is not usually seen as a "disease".

Bilirubin levels rises during periods of stress.
Phenobarbitone is used for treatment of Gilbert syndrome in few people.

Paracetamol overdose can cause liver dydfunction. As for any fever you require paracetamol, you can take it in moderated doses.

Send us your Liver Function Tests. And tell us the symptoms for which you consulted a doctor.

Will help you with Gilbert's.

I hope you don't find me idiot!

Stay Healthy

Dr Anshul, M.D.
