Question

I've been trying to get my hands on the medicine Cetanil T 20 that was prescribed to me, but I've had no luck because of the lockdown. I'm wondering if it's alright to take Telmikind 40, which is Telmisartan 40 mg, and Cilacar 20, which is Cilnidipine 20 mg, instead. Is this a safe alternative? Should I be careful about anything when taking these meds?

Question

I've been dealing with some pain in my upper back and upper abdomen for the past four days. I just got an ECG done today. Can you help me understand what the results mean? I'm a bit concerned about what's going on.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about the price of my uncle's medication. He's been using Stamlo T to control his BP, but it costs INR 100 per strip, which seems quite steep. I found another medicine, OZOTELAM, that reportedly has the same composition and only costs INR 20 per strip. Why is there such a big price difference between these meds if they have the same ingredients? Also, would it be safe for my uncle to switch to OZOTELAM since it's more affordable, and is the composition truly identical, or am I missing something? Looking forward to your advice.

Question

I'm having this weird feeling of chest tightness over the past few days, and I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but there's no pain involved. A couple of days ago, I noticed pain on the left side of my chest, but that's gone now. Could you help me understand what's going on?
