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.

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?

I've been sneezing a lot, dealing with a bad cold and coughing. My fever's been bouncing between 98.9 and 100.0. Do you think it's okay to take Sinarest and Cetrizine at the same time? How often should I be taking them?

While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor
