Ur MCS test u did, I wud say it is inconclusive cos the baseline treatment and recommended sampling drugs as certified by WHO was nt cultured with the organism. I wud strongly advise to disregard this test and do another one for the benefit of ur health... thank u

WATE ON (WAYTE ON) is a good emulsion that is formulated to promote weight gain. You can get that in most pharmacies around. Also ensure you go on a diet rich in nutrients and vitamins. You can also get complan if you dont want to have to bother about getting the required nutrients from different sources. Pharm Remi


how many kg can be gained from taking a glass of complan+soya everyday for a week. I'm trying to increase my weight from 48 to like 58kg

Please is there any prominent/harmful side effect of the WATE ON? Wouldn't want to create health problems where there was none simply because of trying to add weight. Are u recommending it? If yes, any important thing for one to take note of?
Thanks

This does not sound like a question I wud answer but for the sake of others going tru let me do justice to it.
The major difference between immunace and astyfer wud majorly be sorted out from the content in each of them. Immunace contains - zinc, selenuim, vitamim d3, E, C, A . They are indicated for the normal functioning of the immune system and help in cell protection. While astyfer contains - 1. Glycine- they help in the heam formation.dat helps to carry oxygen and red blood cel.
Histidine- indicated to boost manufacture for red and white blood cell.
Lysine - indicated for the formation of blood protein like globulim protien.. astyfer as it is popularly called, it is a blood builder while immunace offer immunity and protection

Glad you did answer it.
Thanks.

Still oblige me pls.
I learnt zinc compete with copper hence one will be copper deficient if one takes zinc without copper. Wonder what it will be like with the immunace that has zinc and no copper.

Lol...u are correct on that. But the study is actually zinc supplement taken for a long period of time which wud decrease the amount of copper in the body.the study is inconclusive on that aspect, as to weda dey wud be an interaction or not, but wat I wud advise is to only take for a short period, but wen the benefit outweigh the risk, and there is a just knowledgeable cause to take dietry zinc for a long time...I wud gladly oblige.

Hello
Please what drug can you prescribe for irregular menstrual period. There was a time it took 42 days although in the last couple of month I lost weight and I don't sleep for long hours and I always have a high temperature and I always have this sharp pain in my breast. My period is due and it hasn't yet come again.

Get informed on how your pharmacist can help you. Pharmacists are medication experts.Do you suffer from a chronic condition such as asthma, arthritis, or diabetes etc? Your pharmacist can work with you and your doctor to make sure you choose the best medications to look after your health.

Studies have shown that half of all Nigerians do not take their prescription medications exactly as prescribed. Every year thousands of people are admitted into hospitals because they did not follow the instructions on their medication container.
Do not leave the pharmacy or hospital until you fully understand how to use your medication properly.

Not sure what to ask your pharmacist? Here is a list of questions you can consider:
Why am I taking this medication?
How and when should I take this medication?
Is "four times a day" the same as "every six hours"?
Do I have to wake up during the night to take my medication?
Am I supposed to swallow my medicine with food or water?
Is there anything I should or should not eat or drink while I am taking this medication?
What should I do if I miss my dose, or take two doses close together?
How will I know if this medication is working?
How will I remember to take my medicine?
I have allergies - is it safe for me to take this medication?
Are there any side effects I should watch for? Will it make me sleepy?
Will my medication interact with other drugs?
Can I drink alcohol while I am taking this medication?
Will it be affected by over-the-counter medications like painkillers or antacids?
Will it be affected by vitamins or herbal supplements?
Can I take this medication if I am pregnant or breast-feeding?
When will I feel better?
If I feel better can I stop taking it?
When should I see my doctor?
Can I get my medication in a container that is easier to open?
Where should I keep my medication?

. Well done pharmacist, please have been using dexamethasone 2mg daily to increase my butt size but it seem not to be effective. Please what could be wrong.
