I've been dealing with a cough and cold for over two weeks now. My GP advised me to check my blood, and it turns out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. He told me to take Diethylcarbamazine and Chlorphenaramine. Is it safe to take these medications along with my current thyroid medication, Atorvastatin, and Fefol? I'm just a bit nervous about mixing them all.

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. My doctor told me to take Nutrolin B capsule, but when I checked online, I couldn't find it. I did find something called Nutrolin B Plus capsule, though. Is it okay if I take that instead? Whats the difference between the two?

Yes, continue same treatment.
