I've noticed this vertical black line that's appeared on my left thumbnail, and it's kind of worrying me. Some folks mentioned it might be due to a vitamin deficiency. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

The safe limit for alprazolam in a day varies depending on the individual, their medical condition, and the dosage form. Typically, the recommended daily dose ranges from 0.25 to 2 milligrams, taken 2 to 3 times a day .

Taking 5 grams of alprazolam can be extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening. This is an excessively high dose that can cause severe symptoms, including respiratory depression, coma, and even death .

Regarding drug interactions, alprazolam can interact with various medications, including paracetamol (acetaminophen). While paracetamol is generally safe to use with alprazolam, taking high doses of paracetamol can increase the risk of liver damage, especially when combined with other medications like alprazolam .

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and my doctor has put me on some antibacterial meds and aziderm. I'm getting married in 30 days and I'm really worried about the black spots left on my face. My pre-bridal skincare sessions have just kicked off and I'm wondering if it's safe to use aziderm now. Do facials make things worse though? Any advice would be really helpful.

I've recently undergone RF treatment for my Xanthelasma, and while the wound has healed, the skin there doesn't quite match the rest of my skin tone. Do you have any recommendations for creams or treatments that could help even it out?

I would recommend using a cream containing hydroquinone to help lighten the skin and reduce any remaining discoloration. You can try using a cream like Melalite Forte cream, applying a thin layer on the affected area once daily in the evening. Make sure to use sunscreen during the day to protect the skin and prevent further darkening.
