  4. Health Queries for Nucoxia 120 Tablet 10's

  5. I have ankylosing spondylitis and am currently taking Saaz-DS, Nucoxia 120, CCM, Nexpro-40, and Folvite. Recently, I had a comprehensive blood test, and my results showed an alkaline phosphatase level of 157 and a Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) level of 88.5. Could you please advise what these abnormal results mean and if any treatment or changes in medication are needed to address them?

Your elevated alkaline phosphatase and GGT levels indicate that your liver or bile ducts may be under stress. Certain medications you are taking for ankylosing spondylitis, such as Saaz-DS or Nucoxia 120, may sometimes affect liver function. These results do not always mean serious liver disease, but they warrant careful follow-up. It is important to discuss these results with your doctor, who may adjust your medications or order additional tests to identify the cause.

    • GGT of 88.5 U/L is elevated, suggesting potential liver or bile duct stress.

  3. Possible Causes Related to Ankylosing Spondylitis and Medications

    • Ankylosing spondylitis and medications like Sulfasalazine and Etoricoxib can affect liver enzymes.

  4. Recommended Next Steps and Monitoring

    • Recommend liver function monitoring, possible imaging, and medication review with a healthcare provider.

  5. Treatment or Medication Adjustments

    • Do not change medications without physician consultation; consider dose adjustment or alternatives if liver involvement is confirmed.
