Question

I've just had plastic surgery and am currently taking cefadroxil 500mg twice a day for the next six days as part of my post-op meds. However, I was also on azithromycin 500mg for urethritis and have only taken the first dose. I'm supposed to take the second and third doses. Is it okay to take the cefadroxil while continuing with the azithromycin for urethritis?

Smoking weed (marijuana) during chickenpox is not recommended. While marijuana may provide temporary pain relief, it can also: Suppress the immune system, potentially prolonging recovery Increase the risk of respiratory complications, such as pneumonia Interact with other medications, like antivirals or pain relievers Instead, consider talking to your doctor about alternative pain management options, such as: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen Topical creams or ointments for skin relief Prescription antiviral medications to reduce symptom severity
