Understanding Megapin Dosage Label: 250/250 mg Explained
The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
General Physician
Answered on 6th Aug '24
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.

I have a head wou.d and it's been glued just want to know if I can put my head on a pillow to go to sleep
Male | 30
Sleep with your head elevated above the heart level a bit to prevent opening up the wound again. Sleeping in an elevated position will prevent the swelling. You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed your head wound and follows his guidance on its treatment. In case of new symptoms or relapses, the doctor may make a referral to a neurologist or plastic surgeon for specialized care.

My toe nail is completely ripping off it is barely on connected to my long toe. It is not currently bleeding and does not hurt either. From when I'm writing this it had been an hour.
Male | 13
if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!

Hi I am very out of shape and 115kg weight I dont move at all but tomorrow I have a flight and today I cleaned my entire apartment and stood and did physical for 12 hours. I also have sleep apnea. I stood and did around house so much without a break and Im qlso on my period nad didnt sleep well for days. I have mobitz II sometimes too. Im worried that I will die from overexertion
Female | 24
Doing more than you can afford, especially with your weight, sleep apnea, and heart problems, can be dangerous. Overexertion symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. First of all, take it easy and take plenty of time to relax, drink water, and avoid strenuous activities. Alternate between working and taking a break as your energy and effectiveness wanes and waxes.

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?
