I had a minor accident yesterday and now I've got some scratches on my knee. I'm wondering if it's alright to use cipladine ointment for these open wounds and cuts. Would it be safe and effective?

I was wondering how often I can take Dolo 650 in a day? And what's the minimum time I should wait between doses? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm using it safely.

I've been jogging for the past 9 months and it was going great until last month. Now I'm experiencing shortness of breath even with minimal physical activity and I can't jog or cycle like I used to. I've seen both a cardiologist and a pulmonologist, and my reports are normal. I just can't seem to shake off this feeling. Also, I lost 10 kgs through jogging without any weight loss supplements. Any idea what's going on with me?
