Ive been prescribed doxy 1 l dr Forte capsules, but I cant seem to find them at any pharmacy. Is it okay if I take DOXT sl capsules as an alternative? I'm a bit worried about making a change without consulting someone first.

Typically, tablets are swallowed with water.

However, some tablets, like sublingual or orally disintegrating tablets, are designed to melt in the mouth.

Check the medication label or packaging insert for specific instructions.

If unsure, consult your healthcare provider to avoid incorrect administration.

Your doctor or pharmacist can provide personalized guidance.

Is it safe for me to start taking RevitalH without consulting a doctor first? I read that it's a mix of vitamins and minerals, but I'm worried about any potential side effects or interactions with other medications I might be on. What would you recommend?

I've been feeling really dizzy when I stand up or turn around, and my blood pressure is at 11374 when I'm sitting. I've got asthma, fibromyalgia, and issues with low iron. A few weeks ago, I had a massive ear infection that landed me in the hospital with a high temperature and asthma problems. Now I'm also dealing with a cold and my asthma's acting up. Is it possible that my asthma or iron issues could be making my blood pressure lower than usual, since it's typically around 12080?

Hello...the b.p of 11374 is fine...it is not low to cause giddiness. Your giddiness could be due to anaemia as you mentioned iron issues, you will know it getting a complete blood picture done. Another reason for giddiness could be secondary to your ear infection.
