I was wondering about the right doses of isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifampicin for a woman who weighs 45kg. If she's taking Rcinex, which already has isoniazid in it, how should the doses be adjusted? Im a bit confused and want to make sure shes getting the right amounts.

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's a regular smoker and has been having a morning cough, occasional breathing issues, and sometimes even chest pain. He recently got some test results back, and it seems like his hemoglobin is high, his PCV is at the upper limit, and his vitamin D is low. I'm not sure what these mean or what steps he should take next?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with asthma and is on ipravent and foracort nebulizers every day. Plus, she's got allergies to some meds like the mox group and managing her BP with telma40 and cilacar 10 mg. Her creatine level is at 1.2, so she's on nefrosave. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the COVID vaccine. Should she go for Covishield or Covaxin, or is there something else we need to consider given her health situation?
