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.

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning. To address this issue, I recommend the following steps: *Diagnostic Tests* 1. *Urine Test*: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 2. *Urethral Swab*: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge. *STD Testing Centers in Pune* Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested: 1. *National AIDS Research Institute (NARI)*: A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV. - Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026 - Phone: 020-27121024 2. *Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic*: Offers free STD testing and treatment. - Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005 - Phone: 020-25501000 3. *Private Labs*: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare. - These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections. *Pre-Test Preparation* Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to: 1. *Abstain from urination*: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results. 2. *Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics*: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results. *Post-Test Care* After the test, your cousin should: 1. *Follow the doctor's advice*: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments. 2. *Practice good hygiene*: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

I've got a question about tetanus. I got the vaccine a couple of months back, but now I've got this small cut on my finger, and some dirt got in it. There's a bit of blood. Do I need to get another tetanus shot, or am I covered? I'm just a bit worried about it.
If you have had a tetanus vaccine within the last 5 years, you should not need another dose for a minor wound like a small cut on your finger. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage.
