Can I just take predmet 8 mg twice a day instead of the 16 mg my doctor prescribed? The 8 mg is the only strength available here. Is it going to be the same?

  1. Dosage Equivalence:

    • Taking two 8 mg tablets to achieve a 16 mg dose is generally acceptable if the total daily dose remains the same.
  2. Consultation:

    • Confirm with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
  3. Consistency:

    • Ensure you take the medication exactly as directed to maintain its therapeutic effect.
  4. Professional Guidance:

    • Never adjust your dose without professional advice to avoid potential under-treatment or side effects.

I've been dealing with this strange issue where my fingers swell up at night. It's happened four times this month, and it's just the phalanges, not the whole finger. It starts with itching, then affects about 12 of these tiny finger bones at once, but on different fingers each time. There's no joint swelling or pain, just itching and a sense of tightness where it swells. It goes away by morning and there's no other symptoms alongside it. Should I be worried or get this checked out?

I'm 20 and I'm experiencing a lot of body pain, just like I did three years ago. Back then, the doctor told me I had ASO titre positive after doing a blood test and recommended penidure injections and ecosprin tablets. I've been feeling this way again for the past three days. Could you please let me know what I should do next?

It sounds like your symptoms may be related to a recurrence of a condition like rheumatic fever. Please consult a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation, including an ASO titer test and possibly other investigations. Early treatment with appropriate medication, like antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, is important to prevent complications.

I'm experiencing some pain when I press on my ribs, stretch, and even sometimes when I breathe. It all started about a month ago with pain in my right shoulder, and then it spread down to my lower rib. It's particularly bad when I'm in certain sleeping positions. I'm 40 and I've been feeling really weak and feeble lately. What should I do about this?
