So, my dad had an angioplasty done on October 20th, and while he's getting better, he's been dealing with toothache, something he had before. I'm wondering if he could take a becosule tablet for that. Would that be safe, or might it cause any issues with his heart condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Becosule tablet is a multivitamin supplement that contains Vitamin B complex. It is generally safe to take after angioplasty, as Vitamin B complex is important for overall health and well-being. However, it is always best to consult with your father's cardiologist before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter supplements, to ensure there are no potential interactions with his current medications or health condition. If the cardiologist approves, the usual dosage of Becosule tablet for adults is one tablet once daily.

I'm a bit worried because last night I had some breathing troubles and felt pain on the left side near my armpit. I went to see a doctor, and although my vitals like blood pressure and pulse were normal, he suggested an ECG, which also turned out normal. I have spondylitis, so I was wondering what tests or checkups I should consider next? Any advice would be really helpful.

I'm really curious and a bit worried about how long someone with RHD can live when they're on penicillin treatment. I started taking Penidure injections when I was just 10 years old and I'm still on them. I was wondering if it's okay to switch to Pentides tablets instead. Also, do people with RHD tend to have a lot of issues after getting married?
RHD patients can survive with treatment with penicillin for a long time, often throughout their lifetime to prevent complications such as rheumatic fever. - The duration of penicillin treatment varies depending on the individual's condition, but it is commonly recommended to be taken continuously to prevent recurrent infections. - Penidure injection is a common form of penicillin used for RHD treatment. As a substitute, Pentides tablets can be taken. The usual dosage of Pentides tablets for RHD treatment is 300 mg once a month. - RHD patients may face complications after marriage if they do not continue with their penicillin prophylaxis, as the risk of recurrent rheumatic fever increases with inadequate treatment. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are important to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
