I'm a software engineer, and I have to commute 60 km a day, which leaves me feeling tired all the time. I've been considering taking Revital capsules to help with my energy levels. Is it safe to start taking them on my own, or should I consult a doctor first?

Revital Capsule contains ginseng extract, multivitamins, folic acid and various other minerals. It is considered safe for use without a physician's prescription. However, if you notice any symptoms developing after taking the medication, you may be allergic to one or more of its ingredients.

I'm really curious about the term "Forte" that's used in so many medicine brand names. Like, I've noticed meds called Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, and even Becozyme C Forte. They all seem to end with Forte, and I think it might mean something like "Plus" or maybe indicate a combination of ingredients. Am I on the right track here, or does it mean something else? Just trying to understand it better.
"Forte" is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "potent," but in the context of medication names, it typically indicates a stronger or higher-dose version of a medication, often a combination product, so your understanding of "Forte" being similar to "Plus" is generally correct.

I'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?
Considering your symptoms and the need for another platelet test, it is important to continue monitoring your condition closely. In case of suspected dengue fever, it is recommended to maintain hydration and rest. Additionally, you can consider taking Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
