I'm really concerned about this recent weight loss I've experienced. I was prescribed Phlogam to help with my sinus pain, and I've been taking it along with antibiotics for about a month now. I've lost about 2 kilograms since I started. Could Phlogam be the reason for this weight loss? Any insight would be appreciated.

Fortunately, most of my symptoms are gone now, just a slight ache remains. Could you please let me know if it was okay to take Meftal Forte in this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried about it.

Taking Meftal Forte (a combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol) after Dolo (paracetamol) is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding; however, since you've already taken it and your symptoms have resolved

I'm a bit worried about taking Augmentin 625 because I read somewhere that if you've had jaundice in the past, you should let your doctor know. I had jaundice around 15 years back, but I've just finished dealing with chicken pox two weeks ago and now I've got this boil. Do you think it's safe for me to go ahead with Augmentin?

yes you can take
