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:
- Pain
- Spasms
However, consult your doctor or a urologist before taking Meftal Spas for stone pain, as:
- Correct diagnosis is essential
- Stone size, location, and type may require specific treatment
- Other medications or treatments might be more effective
Follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as directed.

I've been really worried since I was diagnosed with COVID last month and got treated with remdesivir. When they discharged me, my CRP was 3.5 but then it jumped to 8.1 the next week and 13.4 in the second week. Plus, I developed an allergy around my neck, but that has cleared up now. Can you please advise on how to get my CRP levels down?

I'm curious about using Combiflam for my headaches. Are there any specific things I should know before taking it? Like, are there any prerequisites or conditions that could affect its safety or effectiveness?
You can take a single dose of Combiflam to get relief from pain. It will take a half-hour to an hour to get relief from pain after taking Combiflam. You can also take it to reduce inflammation but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Take Combiflam after a meal.
