Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

1. What is Iqirvo and what is it used for

Iqirvo contains the active substance elafibranor, which acts on two types of receptors (PPAR alpha and PPAR delta).

This medicine is used in adults to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a type of liver disease in which the bile ducts are slowly destroyed, making it difficult for bile to flow. Bile is a liquid that helps digest food, especially fats. When bile cannot flow into the digestive tract, it builds up in the liver (a condition called cholestasis), where it damages liver tissue. This can reduce liver function and cause inflammation. Iqirvo can be used alone or in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in patients who cannot use UDCA.

The active substance in Iqirvo, elafibranor, works by activating PPAR alpha and PPAR delta receptors. These proteins are thought to regulate bile acid levels, inflammation, and fibrosis (scarring). This reduces the production and accumulation of bile in the liver and also reduces liver inflammation.

Doctor consultation

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you take Iqirvo

Do not take Iqirvo

  • if you are allergic to elafibranor or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Iqirvo may increase blood levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin (a breakdown product of red blood cells). Your doctor will perform blood tests to check your liver before and during treatment. If the results of these liver tests are abnormal, your doctor may temporarily stop treatment until they return to normal. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms of liver dysfunction, such as yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, and dark urine.

Iqirvo may increase blood levels of creatine phosphokinase (an enzyme released into the blood when muscle is damaged). Your doctor will perform blood tests to check your creatine phosphokinase levels before and during treatment, especially if you are taking medicines known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, such as atorvastatin, fluvastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin. Tell your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, inflammation, or weakness while taking this medicine.

Your doctor may perform a pregnancy test before starting treatment with Iqirvo to ensure you are not pregnant before starting it.

If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you must use an effective contraceptive method (birth control) while taking this medicine and for at least 3 weeks after stopping treatment to prevent harm to the fetus. Your doctor will advise you on the best contraceptive method for you.
