My mom is currently taking a CTD 12.5 tablet daily as her doctor prescribed. I've heard that generic medicines can be more affordable. Is there a generic version of this tablet you could recommend for us? I'm trying to find a more cost-effective option.

I'm a bit worried because for the past two days, I've been having some breathing discomfort, but it's not constant. It mostly happens after I've eaten in the afternoon and at night. I'm also experiencing some pain in my shoulder. I just started Zumba exercises, and it seems like this all started the day after. Do you think there's a connection? What's going on with my breathing and shoulder?

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He had a bypass surgery back in 2007, even though he hadn't had a heart attack. He's been doing well all these years, just keeping up with his regular meds and walking routines. He's also been managing diabetes for the last 35 years. I'm wondering, is it okay for him to start swimming now? Do you think it'd be safe for him given his medical history?
