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?

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.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

I'm dealing with a viral fever, and while paracetamol is helping a bit with the fever, it only reduces the temperature for a short time. I'm wondering if there are any antibiotics I can take that might help more effectively. Any advice would be appreciated!

genrally antibiotics are not helpful inviral infections if it still bothers you try milder antibiotics like monocef 200 for 5 days
