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?

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. My doctor told me to take Nutrolin B capsule, but when I checked online, I couldn't find it. I did find something called Nutrolin B Plus capsule, though. Is it okay if I take that instead? Whats the difference between the two?

Yes, continue same treatment.

I've been recovering from dengue and it's been a week since I got better. My platelet count is over 250,000 now, but my TLC was 4000 a week ago. I'm itching to get back to my routine! I don't do heavy stuff, just some skipping and a few exercises. Is it okay for me to start again?

After recovering from dengue, it's essential to gradually resume physical activities, so you can start with low-intensity exercises like skipping and light cardio, but wait for at least 2-3 weeks before resuming full-fledged exercise routine, and ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients, iron, and folic acid to replenish lost platelets and support overall recovery, under the guidance of your doctor.
