Hey there, I've noticed a lot of people around me are starting to use the Ziverdo Kit, which includes zinc, ivermectin, and doxycycline, even before they get COVID. Is it a good idea to take these meds as a preventive measure? I'm a bit concerned about what the side effects might be if I take them without actually being sick. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

View allI'm thinking about starting zincovit syrup since I've heard it might help with my weight gain and improve my overall health from the inside. Is it safe to take without a doctor's prescription? Can you share if it could actually help with fitness and if there are any risks involved with taking it on my own?
Zincovit syrup is a multivitamin and multimineral supplement that can help improve overall health and well-being. However, it is important to note that zincovit syrup is not specifically designed for weight gain. If you are looking to gain weight, it is recommended to focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods. If you are still interested in taking a supplement to support your overall health, you can consider taking zincovit syrup as per the recommended dosage on the packaging.

I've been using dolo 650 for my fever, but it doesn't seem to be working. Are there any other fever medicines you would suggest?
The 0.3ml anti-rabies booster dose provides immunity for at least 2-5 years, and possibly up to 10 years. Since you received the booster dose on January 9 and 12, you should still have adequate immunity. Given the cat bite on January 28, you are likely protected against rabies. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a medical professional for guidance. They may recommend post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or monitoring, depending on the severity of the bite and other factors. Seek attention immediately to ensure your safety.

I accidentally took two Dolo 650 tablets in the span of three hours. Should I be worried about any side effects from the paracetamol?
Should not be a cause for concern. If you develop any new symptoms, contact your nearest healthcare provider for further evaluation.
