I'm a bit confused about how to take the medication my doctor prescribed because he was too busy to explain, and the chemist's advice was different. They said to take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz Torrent before food once daily, but the chemist mentioned taking them twice daily after food or with food. Also, what are the side effects of Defcort 6 mg? Can you help me out with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Take Torkast FX once daily at night after food. Take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz before food, once daily in the morning. Defcort 6 mg may cause side effects like increased appetite, mood changes, or stomach upset; follow the dosage strictly as prescribed for the best results.

Why is my body warm but my feet are cold?
Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing a fever and headache for the past four days. I've tried taking dolo 650 a couple of times for the last three days, which helps the headache for a while, but then it comes back. Last night when I checked, my temperature was around 97.298.197.4. I'm at the office today, but I'm still dealing with the headache and feeling weak. What do you think could be going on? I don't have chills or any other symptoms. Any advice would be appreciated.
