What causes abdominal pain in a person with fatty liver while on Cipro and Flagyl?
Patient: I m taking cipro and flagil for diverticulitis and it is causing liver pain. Should I stick it out for two more days? I ve been taking for eight days as of tonight. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver five years ago. I m 65. Haven t consumed alcohol for over a month. Doctor: Hello,  The antibiotic is given for diverticulitis for one week.  So as you have completed seven days of the antibiotic course, there is no need to take it anymore.   If you have pain in liver area than check your sgpt and USG abdomen scan for further workup.   For fatty liver, udiliv can be taken.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
