I'm wondering about how long the protection lasts from tetanus toxoid shots. I never got the tetanus vaccination as a kid, but I did get 24 tetanus toxoid shots over two years, in 2016 and 2017. Is that level of vaccination enough to keep me protected, or should I consider getting another shot? Whats the typical duration of protection in cases like mine?

Meftal Spas tablets contain a combination of mefenamic acid (pain reliever) and dicyclomine (antispasmodic).

For stone pain (likely kidney stones), Meftal Spas might help alleviate:

  1. Pain
  2. Spasms

However, consult your doctor or a urologist before taking Meftal Spas for stone pain, as:

  1. Correct diagnosis is essential
  2. Stone size, location, and type may require specific treatment
  3. Other medications or treatments might be more effective

Follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as directed.

I've been hearing a lot about using HCQ 200 MG as a way to boost immunity against Covid. I'm wondering if it's safe to take it twice a week for that purpose. Could this really help, and are there any risks I should be aware of? I'm curious because I've seen mixed opinions online and want to make sure it's a good idea before considering it.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not recommended for use as a preventive measure against Covid-19. It is important to follow guidelines from health authorities and consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate preventive measures.

I came down with typhoid on April 1st, and although that's over now, I'm dealing with a mild fever and feeling really weak in my legs. Plus, I just can't seem to get any sleep at night. What could be causing this? Any idea how I can start feeling better?

I've been dealing with a high fever since yesterday, alongside a really bad headache, cold, cough, and weakness. I went to the pharmacy and picked up Cepodem 200, AcenextP, and MontewokLC. After taking them, I felt super cold and started shaking, but then I got warm and sweaty after sleeping, which made me feel better. It's been about 8 hours since I took them this morning, and now it seems like my fever might be coming back. Should I keep taking what I bought?
