View allCan you tell me if it's safe to take four Tiniba 500 mg tablets all at once, since that adds up to 2000 mg? I'm just a bit worried about such a high dose.
Typical Doses: For infections, Tinidazole is often prescribed in doses like 500 mg twice a day or 1000 mg once a day depending on the condition. Possible Side Effects: Common side effects of Tinidazole can include nausea, metallic taste, dizziness, and headache, which might be more intense with a higher dose. If in doubt, it's always a good idea to clarify with your healthcare provider before taking the medication.

I had dengue a month ago, and my platelets dropped to 18k. I got treated in the hospital and felt better after. The first week was okay, just a bit of tiredness. But now, during the day, I'm feeling way more tired and low on energy. I went back to the doctor and did blood tests again, and they said everything's normal, but I'm still feeling worn out daily. There's a slight improvement, but it's really slow. Also, I have cervical issues. Any idea what could be going on?

I recently got a haircut and accidentally ended up with a small cut from the barber's scissors. I'm really anxious about whether this might transmit HIV. Could scissors carry the virus like that?
The risk of HIV transmission through a minor cut from barber scissors is extremely low, as HIV cannot survive for long outside the human body, and the virus is not transmitted through casual contact or minor cuts; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting a doctor or getting a HIV test after the window period (3-6 months) for peace of mind.
