I've been told to take Exermet 500 three times a day, but I've been taking it only twice. I came across something that said Exermet might cause dementia. Is that true?

View allI'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?
I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm curious about what health tonic would be best for someone over 50 dealing with issues like digestion, tiredness, or high blood pressure. Are there any medicines or remedies that help support body organs as we age?
If u are having good diet and have a walk daily you may not need medicine except there is deficiency. Check with Vit B12 & DE. And if deficient then take medicine for it

My dad has been taking revital capsules for the past three months. I'm wondering if he should keep taking them or maybe stop for a little while? Could you tell me how long he should take them if he continues, or how long the gap should be if he should pause?
Considering your recent jaundice diagnosis and current bilirubin level, it's essential to exercise caution. While your liver enzymes (SGPT and SGOT) are within normal range, it's crucial to prioritize your liver health. _Smoking weed occasionally is not recommended_: 1. _Liver strain_: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in weed can put additional strain on your liver, which may still be recovering from jaundice. 2. _Bilirubin levels_: Although your bilirubin level is currently within a relatively normal range (0.3-1.9 mgdL), smoking weed might cause fluctuations or increases in bilirubin levels. 3. _Unknown long-term effects_: The impact of occasional weed smoking on liver health, especially in individuals with pre-existing liver conditions, is not well understood. Prioritize your liver health_: Focus on supporting your liver health through: 1. _Healthy diet_: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 3. _Avoid liver-toxic substances_: Limit or avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other liver-toxic substances. 4. _Regular check-ups_: Schedule regular follow-ups with your doctor to monitor your liver health and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.
