Can I combine Zincovit and B Complex in my routine? I'm also on UpriseD3 60k once a week and taking Limcee for vitamin C with another zinc supplement. Is this combo safe or should I spread them out? Feeling a bit confused about managing these. Any advice?

Yes, it is generally safe to take Zincovit and B Complex together, as they contain different vitamins and minerals that support various bodily functions. However, since you're also taking Limcee (Vitamin C) and another zinc supplement, it's important to ensure you're not exceeding the recommended daily intake of zinc or other vitamins. It's best to consult with your doctor to adjust the doses if needed.

I'm taking an anti-rabies vaccine from a government hospital in India. The schedule is days 0, 3, 7, and 28. I've just completed my third vaccine, and only the last one is left. But, two days after my third shot, the same dog, which is supposed to be vaccinated and looks healthy, licked my hand. Should I start the vaccination schedule from day 0 again? Also, I've heard from a physician that government-provided anti-rabies vaccines are less effective. Is this true? Can you please help me out with this?

There is no need to restart the vaccination schedule. You should still go ahead and take the 4th dose of the vaccine on the scheduled 28th day. Regarding the efficiency of government-provided anti-rabies vaccines, they are generally considered to be effective and safe. It is important to complete the full course of vaccination as prescribed by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies. If you have any concerns about the vaccine's efficacy, you can discuss them with your healthcare provider for further clarification.
