I've been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and my doctor suggested I take methyl prednisolone tablets. Is it safe for me to also use Nervijen and Etoshine tablets? I'm dealing with some heel pain too, so I'm just a bit concerned about mixing these meds. Can you advise?

Considering your Alopecia Areata diagnosis and the prescribed methylprednisolone, it's essential to exercise caution when adding new medications.
Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab
- Nervijen Tab: Typically used for anxiety and insomnia, it may interact with methylprednisolone, increasing the risk of adverse effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or stomach ulcers.
- Etoshine Tab: Usually prescribed for pain relief and inflammation, it may increase the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, or kidney damage when combined with methylprednisolone.
Safety Concerns
- Increased risk of side effects: Combining these medications may lead to adverse effects like stomach ulcers, bleeding, or increased blood sugar levels.
- Interactions with methylprednisolone: Nervijen Tab and Etoshine Tab may interact with methylprednisolone, reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

View allI've been dealing with this fungal dandruff and have been using AF 150mg along with keto B lotion for a few weeks now. It seems like the dandruff's slightly better, but Im really wondering how much longer I should keep taking this medication? Do you think theres a specific time frame for this kind of treatment, or should I just continue until it's fully gone? I don't want to stop too soon and make things worse.
That takes time and needs special care continue the same medication as your doctor adviced and maintain personal hygiene for a better result.

I'm 26 years old and I've been dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad's bald and I'm starting to see the bald areas emerging too, especially on the crown of my head. My hair seems to be falling out in a pattern more and more these days. Is there anything that could help me avoid going completely bald, at least for the next five years?
I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.
