Subject: Need Advice onTreating Pharmaceutical Induced Hepatitis/Jaundice

Forum: The Hepatitis Forum

I am a 50 year old, generally healthy male who over used Zantac(up to 150mg four times /day) over a two week period. Also took Augmentin for day and half. When Zantac no longer brought relief my GE's Nurse put me on Prevacid.  Severe itching began same night plus amber-colored urine and pale stools. Switched me to Prilosec (solved heartburn) for two days then off everything when blood test showed elevated liver enzymes. Symptoms have now persisted for one week.  Am on Hydroxizine HCL 10mg one per 8 hours for itching, but with little relief. Had Ultrasound (showed possible "blob" in gallbladder).To have Cat Scan tomorrow.  Personally, I don't think it is gallstones or blockage (no symptomatic pains). So other than bland, low fat diet, what can I do to speed recovery?
