Patient's question:
Hello, doctor:I have had chronic pain for the past three years. Previously, I didn’t pay too much attention to it. In August of this year, due to the weather, I went to a hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I might have gastritis, so they prescribed me two medications: sulfadiazine tablets (coated tablets) and berberine hydrochloride tablets. I was supposed to take them together. Initially, I took three tablets three times a day, and later, I increased it to four tablets three times a day. The doctor recommended that I take them for more than half a year. Here, I’d like to ask if the doctor’s prescription is reasonable, whether this treatment is effective for gastritis, and whether it’s necessary to take them for more than half a year.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There are absolutely no issues with your medication usage! The key point in your case is to actively pay attention to your diet while taking medication. Your diet should primarily consist of light and simple foods, avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
