I've been taking Saridon for my headaches about once or twice a month and I'm wondering if that's safe to continue. Could you give me some advice on this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Saridon can be used occasionally for headaches, but it's important not to rely on it frequently. Using it once or twice a month is generally considered safe, but if headaches persist, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for a more tailored treatment plan.

I'm dealing with a slip disk at L4-5 and L5-S1, and my doctors are suggesting surgery. But I've been on medications like Razo 20mg, Pregabid 75mg, Decort 6, and D3 once daily, and I've noticed some improvement over the past week, especially with the numbness getting better. I really don't want to go through surgery if I can avoid it. Do you think it's possible to keep this improvement going with just meds and avoid the operation altogether?

I'm really worried because my grandfather just had a major paralysis stroke affecting the right side of his body. Is there a chance for him to recover from this? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.
The chances of recovery from a major paralysis stroke on the right side, also known as hemiparesis, depend on the severity of the stroke, the location and extent of brain damage, and the timeliness and effectiveness of medical treatment; with prompt and intensive rehabilitation, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, some patients can achieve significant improvement, but the degree of recovery varies widely, and it's essential to consult a neurologist or rehabilitation specialist to assess your grandfather's individual prognosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.
