Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 59 and has been having trouble getting a good night's sleep. He was given Alprax 0.25 by the doctor, and he's supposed to take half of that, 0.125mg, each night for 10 days, then stop. He's only taken it for two days so far, but he's already thinking about quitting it now. Is it safe for him to just stop taking it? I'm really concerned about possible withdrawal symptoms like seizures. Can you give some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

Your dad can stop taking Alprax 0.125mg after just 2 days without significant risk of severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures, as the duration of use was short and the dose was low, but he may still experience mild symptoms like anxiety or insomnia, which should resolve on their own within a few days.

Question 2

I'm noticing my oxygen saturation levels bouncing between 95 and 98, and sometimes they shift between 96 and 97. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it considered normal for the spo2 levels to fluctuate this way?

Accepted Answer

its normal

Question 3

I've taken almost 40 Dolo 650 tablets over the last three days and I haven't noticed any issues so far. Is there a chance that something might happen to me in the next few days?

Accepted Answer

Dolo 650 contains Paracetamol as the main content. Paracetamol poisoning can result from overdosing on Dolo 650. If you haven't experienced any symptoms yet, you should be safe, but it is recommended to visit a physician and ensure your vital parameters are normal.

Question 5

I'm dealing with a healing anal fissure and I'm thinking about having sex with my girlfriend. Could this make my fissure worse or cause any problems?

Accepted Answer

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a common sexually transmitted infection.

Treatment for genital warts caused by HPV:

1. Topical treatments: Imiquimod cream, Podofilox solution, or Sinecatechins ointment
2. Cryotherapy: Freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen
3. Surgical removal: Excision or laser treatment
4. Antiviral medications: Interferon or Cidofovir (in severe cases)

Consult a dermatologist or a urologistgynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Note: HPV itself cannot be "cured," but the symptoms (genital warts) can be treated.

Question 6

I've been wondering if there's any medication or supplement that might help me increase my height. I'm currently 55 inches tall and 21 years old, and I'm hoping to grow about 12 inches. Is this possible, and do you have any advice or recommendations?

Accepted Answer

At 21, your growth plates are likely closed, making significant height increase challenging; there's no proven medicine or tablet to increase height in adults, but some supplements like Growth Factor Plus, Height Max, or vitamin Dcalcium may help maintain bone health, although results are not guaranteed and individual growth potential may vary.
