Question 1

I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Accepted Answer

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.

_Recommended Dosage Timing_

1. _Morning_: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.

_Why Morning?_

1. _Blood pressure control_: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.
2. _Reduced nighttime effects_: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.

_Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)_

1. _Stopping medication abruptly_: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.
2. _Consult a doctor_: Before stopping or changing any medication, consult a doctor to ensure safe and effective blood pressure management.

_Please Note_

1. _Monitor blood pressure regularly_: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my son. He got tested positive for TB a couple of months back. He had a cough and fever then, and hes also been dealing with asthma and diarrhea for about two months. So, the doctor said its TB, IBD, and asthma, and hes on medication for all of it. Just last week, he had a mild fever and dry cough again, and now he's positive for COVID. I'm really confused about when he'll be eligible for the COVID vaccine and if it's safe for him to go back to school without it. Can you advise on what steps we should take next?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
