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.

View allI had MVR surgery back in 2019 and my doctor prescribed warfarin Acitrom to maintain my PTINR around 2.5-3. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the covid vaccine now or if I should wait for more research to come out. If I do go ahead with it, what kind of precautions should I keep in mind?
Consult your nearest vaccination Centre

I'm trying to figure out which medication I should take to get my blood pressure under control. I'm 105 kgs and 6 feet tall. My blood pressure reading is 140 over 80, and I'm wondering if that's considered severe. Could you recommend something for immediate relief?
To get your blood pressure under control, considering your weight and height, you can start with a low dose of Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. A blood pressure reading of 14080 is considered prehypertension, and it is important to take steps to lower it to prevent it from becoming high blood pressure.

I've been having this subtle pain and discomfort around my ribs, and it's really starting to give me anxiety and hypertension. I've already done an ECG, TST, and some blood tests, but everything came back normal. I've seen a couple of doctors, and they mentioned it's probably related to rib pain, but it feels more serious to me. Is there any specific X-ray or test I should be looking into?
u can take x ray
