I'm a bit confused about taking Zentel. Is it okay to take it in the morning after I've had breakfast? And if I do, will it be alright to have lunch later in the day? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right!

Yes, you can take Zentel (brand name for albendazole) in the morning after food. It is usually recommended to take it with food to help improve absorption. You can take Zentel again after lunch, but be sure not to exceed the prescribed dosage.

I've just gotten the Covishield vaccine and I'm a bit nervous about smoking afterwards. Could you tell me what might happen if I light up a cigarette post-vaccination? Is it really a bad idea? I dont want to mess up the vaccines effectiveness or my health. Just trying to figure out the consequences here.

Smoking after taking the Covishield vaccination is not recommended, as smoking can weaken the immune system, reduce the vaccine's efficacy, and increase the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms, and consequences of smoking after vaccination may include reduced antibody production, impaired immune response, and increased risk of respiratory complications, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and bronchitis.
