I'm trying to increase my B12 level from 200 to 900. Can you tell me how many 500 mcg doses I should take? And what's the best schedule for taking them?

1 tablet daily for 3 months would help, because, orally only 10% of consumed dose will be actively available,the remaining will be excreted,hence it takes long time to restore,also consume eggs and adequate quantity of meat,they are rich in B12.

I'm wondering if Ceflus CV and Gudcef CV 200 are the same medication. I was supposed to take Ceflus CV, but it wasn't available, so I got Gudcef CV 200 instead. Are they interchangeable, or should I be concerned?

Ceflus CV and Gudcef CV 200 contain similar ingredients but may differ in the exact dosage strength of Cefixime.

A rat bit me last week and I already got a TT injection along with an anti-rabies shot. I'm wondering if I should go for the other two anti-rabies injections or if I'm good since I'm not really feeling any pain where the scratch is. Is there another step I should be taking here?

Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening. Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food. You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms. Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications. They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.

I'm dealing with a cold and a throat infection for the past two days. I'm taking Chestin Cold and Ambroxol cough syrup from my local pharmacy, but my cold hasn't improved and my throat pain is actually worse. Is this normal, or should I go see a doctor?
