Good day. My question is about gastric problemsI have been struggling with for many years. It often happens to me that after eating something heavy or fatty, I feel heavy, my liver hurts and I feel very bad in general. I use Raphacholin regularly for my ailments and I must admit that it helps me a lot. However, I began to wonder if Raphacholin is safe? Does such regular use of Raphacholin have side effects?
So far, I haven’t noticed any side effects of Raphacholineven when I use it for several days in a row, but I’m a bit afraid that using Raphacholin for gastric problems may harm myself in some way. I would be very grateful to know if Raphacholin is safe, or if it has any side effects that I haven’t noticed yet, or have not linked them to this drug at all. By the way, I would like to ask what it is like safe dose of Raphacholinwhich I can use, for example, on a weekly basis? Are there any restrictions I shouldn’t exceed? Thank you in advance for your help.
