I'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?

I'm on MDR for about 15 months now, and I'm curious about how much longer I'll have to take these meds. Can you also help me with the side effects? I've been having issues with confusion, feeling scared, and sweating a lot, especially when I eat. I'm taking clofazime 100mg, thiomide E 750mg, pyrizamide 2000mg, and moxifloxacin 400mg.

you should take for 3 months more

I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?

These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.
