I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke weed the day after getting MMR and meningococcal vaccines. If not, how long should I wait before smoking? Also, I'm planning to get varicella, Tdap, and hepatitis B vaccinations soon. Should I be extra cautious about smoking after these shots?

View allIm dealing with a fever, cold, and sore throat. I'm wondering if I can take Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P for this. Are there any side effects I should worry about?
Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Paracetamol, which is primarily used for abdominal pain and cramps. It is not recommended for treating fever, cold, or sore throat. Meftal P, on the other hand, contains Paracetamol as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. It would be more suitable for your symptoms. Taking Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P may not effectively address your current symptoms and could potentially lead to inadequate treatment. It is important to use the appropriate medication for your specific condition to avoid any complications.

I've been dealing with lumbar radiculopathy and am finally in the recovery phase. I recently got my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are at 180. Should I be worried about this level? What can I do to bring those numbers down?
A triglyceride level of 180 mgdL is slightly above the normal range. To reduce your triglyceride levels, you can make some lifestyle changes such as: - Following a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars - Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts - Exercising regularly - Limiting alcohol consumption - Quitting smoking if you smoke In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medication to help lower your triglyceride levels. One common medication used for this purpose is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-80 mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

I'm currently taking tablets, supplements, and multivitamins, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you recommend an injection that could help boost my stamina?
Instead of relying solely on multivitamin tablets, consider consulting a healthcare professional about vitamin B12 injections, which can help boost energy levels and improve stamina, especially if you have a deficiency; however, it's essential to undergo a blood test to determine the underlying cause of your fatigue and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require specific treatment.
