I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

I was wondering about the right dosage for albendazole 400 mg when it comes to deworming. Should I be taking it once a day or twice a day? And is albendazole effective on its own, or should it be combined with something else? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

For deworming, a single dose of 400 mg Albendazole (1 tablet) is typically taken as a single dose, once a day (OD). In most cases, Albendazole alone is effective for treating common intestinal worms, but the dosage may vary depending on the type of infection. It's always best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.
