What is the recommended tapering method for 10mg/day diazepam dosage?
the best method for tapering off diazepam at the current dosage level of 10mg per day
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you are using diazepam in an amount of ten milligrams a day at this point and you want to taper off, doing so should be done under the supervision of medical personnel. Withdrawal symptoms after sudden diazepam cessation can be quite intense. So gradually, you should decrease your dosage according to prescription by the doctor.

Hello, I'm 25 yrs old male. Going to the gym three to four time a week. I would like to know if I can take Zinc capsule, Magnesium capsule, Fish oil capsule, Biotin B7 capsule and B complex
Male | 25
Zinc, Magnesium, Fish oil, Biotin B7, and B complex are good supplements. But try getting them from food first. If you feel sluggish, can't snooze well, or notice skin/hair changes, these might assist. Just don't overdo the dosage amounts.

My mother is an asthama patient, she got mild fever and body pain so I have given her ibrufen 200 mg ,if there is any contradiction then what to do. Can I give her Montamac tablet and her Formanide pump
Female | 56
Fever and body pain can be caused by different things, and giving ibuprofen is usually a sensible thing to do. On the other, ibuprofen is not the best choice for asthma patients because it can sometimes make things worse. You can also try giving Montamac tablets for the fever and body pain as an alternative to ibuprofen. The use of her Formanide pump, which medical professionals have prescribed for her asthma, must be strictly observed. The same is true if the symptoms worsen, it is necessary to see a doctor.

It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

I ate some raw chicken approx 42 hours ago. Yesterday (12 hours ago) I had nausea and diarrhea for an hour then felt mostly back to normal for the rest of the day. This morning I woke up and felt sluggish and a bit dizzy along with some diarrhea (for an hour again), but no vomiting. Will my symptoms subside or will I start to throw up? Or will I just have stomach problems for the next day or two?
Male | 20
RAW CHICKEN may cause FOOD POISONING. SYMPTOMS often subside within 48 HOURS. STAY HYDRATED and REST... SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION if symptoms persist
