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?

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 reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."

I've been taking Pentids 400 regularly for my cardiovascular issues, but now I can't seem to find it at my local pharmacy. Is there any alternative medication I could use instead?
Pentids 400 is not available, you can consider using the alternative medicine Amoxicillin 500mg. It belongs to the same class of antibiotics as Pentids and can be used to treat similar cardiovascular issues. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
