I'm a little puzzled about how to take Limcee, the vitamin C chewable my dermatologist suggested. Should I be chewing it or is it better if I suck on it? What's the best way to actually get the most benefit from it?

For Limcee, a vitamin C chewable tablet, chewing it is recommended over sucking, as chewing helps to break down the tablet and release the vitamin C, allowing for better absorption in the digestive system, whereas sucking may lead to swallowing the tablet whole, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

I'm really concerned about a possible connection between the medication I've been taking, Saaz DS, and developing allergies. Recently, I've noticed symptoms that remind me of ringworm, and it's making me anxious. I've been on Saaz DS 1g twice daily for about a year now. Could there be a link, and should I be worried?

Saaz DS (Sulfasalazine) is not typically used to treat allergies or ringworm. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing symptoms of allergies or ringworm, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
