I've noticed that my food smells a bit like vinegar, but it's not past its expiration date. Should I be concerned about eating it? Is it still safe to consume?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is not recommended to consume medications that have changed in smell, as it may affect their effectiveness. It is best to dispose of them properly and consult with a pharmacist for a replacement.

I'm a bit worried about the medication I'm taking. I've been on Metolar XR 25 for about 15 years now, and I've developed ulcerative colitis. I'm starting to wonder if there's a chance the Metolar could be causing it. Should I think about switching to something else?
Metolar XR 25 contains Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. It is generally well-tolerated, but in some cases, it can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues such as ulcerative colitis. Considering your history of ulcerative colitis, it may be prudent to switch to a different medication that is less likely to aggravate your condition. I recommend consulting your doctor for a suitable alternative such as Atenolol 25mg once daily.
