View allI've stopped taking thyronorm for about 15 days now, and I'm wondering if there might be any effects from doing that? Should I start taking it again or maybe get anything checked out first? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Stopping Thyronorm (thyroid medication) for 15 days can lead to hypothyroidism symptoms reappearing, such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes; consider restarting the medication as prescribed and scheduling a blood test to check your Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels to ensure they return to normal; consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm thinking about giving my 77-year-old diabetic parent a daily tablet of ceeplus, which is an immunity booster containing 1000 mg of vitamin C, 2000 IU of vitamin D3, and 50 mg of zinc. Is it safe to include this in their routine to help boost their immunity?
yes can be given

I'm really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?
