take only 1 capsule per day never more than 2, high doses can sometimes lead to an increased risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood-thinning medications.

I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm dealing with a cold and a throat infection for the past two days. I'm taking Chestin Cold and Ambroxol cough syrup from my local pharmacy, but my cold hasn't improved and my throat pain is actually worse. Is this normal, or should I go see a doctor?
