I'm dealing with acne and my doctor originally prescribed me Azax 500 mg, but it was out of stock at the pharmacy, so they gave me Azicip 500 mg instead. Is this an appropriate substitute for what the doctor recommended?

Yes it is proper substitute. Pls contiue the medications as advised .

I'm worried about this piece of glass that got embedded in my left palm near my thumb about a week ago. It's not deep, I think, and there's no pain, just this annoying sensation when I press on it. I'm wondering if it'll come out on its own. Is it possible to take it out myself with a small cut using a clean razor blade? Also, does our skin naturally push out foreign objects over time as it heals from the inside? Would love some guidance on this.

Its better to Visit Surgeon for evaluation and appropriate managment and donot attemot to remove it on your own,
