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.

View allI've recently got a painful hard lump on my buttock after an injection, and it's making it really tough for me to walk. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Hi, Im sorry youre in pain. A hard, painful lump after an injection could indicate inflammation or an abscess. Apply a warm compress to reduce pain and swelling, avoid pressure on the area, and consult a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment.

I'm really struggling with a dry cough and it's quite annoying. Are there any effective cough syrups you could recommend to help with this? I've tried a couple from the pharmacy but haven't had much luck, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
For dry cough, you can try using Delsym (dextromethorphan) syrup. The recommended dosage for adults is 10 mL every 12 hours. Another option is Robitussin Dry Cough (dextromethorphan) syrup, with a recommended dosage of 10 mL every 4 hours. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
