I'm wondering about how long the protection lasts from tetanus toxoid shots. I never got the tetanus vaccination as a kid, but I did get 24 tetanus toxoid shots over two years, in 2016 and 2017. Is that level of vaccination enough to keep me protected, or should I consider getting another shot? Whats the typical duration of protection in cases like mine?

Meftal Spas tablets contain a combination of mefenamic acid (pain reliever) and dicyclomine (antispasmodic).

For stone pain (likely kidney stones), Meftal Spas might help alleviate:

  1. Pain
  2. Spasms

However, consult your doctor or a urologist before taking Meftal Spas for stone pain, as:

  1. Correct diagnosis is essential
  2. Stone size, location, and type may require specific treatment
  3. Other medications or treatments might be more effective

Follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as directed.

I'm feeling pain under my breast and kind of in the lower chest area since this morning. It really hurts when I touch it and even more when I try to take a deep breath. I'm worried about what it could be, but with the current situation, I'm scared to go to the hospital for an X-ray or anything like that. I had the same issue last year, and it got better after taking calcium supplements. Can you suggest what I should do now?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

Can I combine Zincovit and B Complex in my routine? I'm also on UpriseD3 60k once a week and taking Limcee for vitamin C with another zinc supplement. Is this combo safe or should I spread them out? Feeling a bit confused about managing these. Any advice?

Yes, it is generally safe to take Zincovit and B Complex together, as they contain different vitamins and minerals that support various bodily functions. However, since you're also taking Limcee (Vitamin C) and another zinc supplement, it's important to ensure you're not exceeding the recommended daily intake of zinc or other vitamins. It's best to consult with your doctor to adjust the doses if needed.
