Question 1

I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

Yes, mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be followed up by a doctor, especially since you are experiencing breathlessness on exertion and have a high heart rate. Treatment for PAH may include medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the blood pressure in the lungs. It is important to monitor and manage PAH to prevent further complications.

Question 5

I'm looking for some help understanding my ECG report. One of the doctors mentioned something called Prolonged QT syndrome, and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some more details about it? I've also attached the medications I'v...

Accepted Answer

The Prolonged QT syndrome is a heart condition that can potentially cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, which can be life-threatening. It is diagnosed based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that shows a prolonged QT interval, indicating a delay in the heart's electrical recharging system. This delay can lead to arrhythmias and fainting spells. For the treatment of Prolonged QT syndrome, medications like Beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the risk of arrhythmias. In your case, the medication prescribed is **Propranolol** at a dosage of 40mg twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps to stabilize the heart's electrical activity and prevent dangerous heart rhythms. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and to follow up regularly to monitor your heart's condition. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

Question 6

Could you help me understand the difference between ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20? I'm wondering if it would be okay to take half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 instead of a full tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 each day?

Accepted Answer

ROSUVAS CV 10 and ROSUVAS CV 20 both contain Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. The difference lies in the strength of the active ingredients. ROSUVAS CV 10 contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel, while ROSUVAS CV 20 contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin and 75mg of Clopidogrel. Taking half a tablet of ROSUVAS CV 20 (which contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin) is not equivalent to taking one tablet of ROSUVAS CV 10 (which contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage as recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have any concerns about your medication regimen, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
