Dear Patient
Yes, long-term antibiotics and Bandy Plus (albendazole combination) can cause upper abdominal pain. The common reasons are:
• Gastritis (stomach lining irritation) due to antibiotics
• Acid reflux increase
• Gut flora imbalance
• Drug-induced liver irritation (rare but possible)
What you should do
• Start a PPI like Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast for 10–14 days
• Take probiotic capsule once daily for 7–10 days
• Avoid spicy, oily, tea/coffee empty stomach
• Eat small frequent meals
• Avoid painkiller medicines
For detailed evaluation and proper prescription, you can consult or text me anytime on Practo.
