Think I may have taken a second dose of 15mg deplin by accident today. Should I be concerned? ## This is just a folic acid supplement, not an actual drug, so it is doubtful that there will be a problem, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Especially if you are pregnant, lactating or suffer any medical conditions that require special attention. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescribed Sinvastatin a year ago (40mg) and now I have alopeca, never had this til I took these pills. I notice that this is a side effect. Will my hair grow back, it is so embarrassing to try to keep the bald patch covered. I have now been taken off this medication. ## HI, Chris! If it was really caused by the medication, then yes there is a good chance that your hair will grow back, now that you've discontinued it. If your doctor says it's safe for you to take them, some supplements that may help include B vitamins and biotin. However, if it was due to natural genetics or aging, then nothing is going to change it. Has your doctor given an opinion?

Small round white pills, with capital A beside a smallcase b (in a box) on both sides of pill. ## Hi Barry, Based on the description provided, I've identified your white pill to be Anatabloc. This is a non-prescription anti-inflammatory medication, regarded as a dietary supplement. From what I've read, it is commonly sold at places like GNC. Anatabloc is listed as containing 1mg of Antabine base + 500units of Vitamin A + 40units of Vitamin D3. For verification, there's actually another discussion thread here on the same topic, that can be viewed at: Discuss/Round-White-Pill-Capital-A-Small-B-Inside-Rectangle-235726.htm I hope this info helps!

Elderly person needs vitamin with following ingredients: Vit. D 400mg, Folic acid 400 mcg., Biotin 300 mcg., Vit. B-12 1,000 mcg., Vit. B-6 100 mg., Selenium 100 mcg., Calcium + D 1,200 mg., Iron 250 mcg., and Vit. C 3,000 mg. Is there any one tablet that comes close to providing these nutrients in these proportions? ## Since most vitamins are over the counter products, there isn't a database that lists all of them and their ingredients. What I'd like to suggest is asking a pharmacist. They usually have a good idea of what's available and can point you in the right direction. Did a doctor say it must be these specific dosages?

please send particular medicine details ## calcium an nerves tablet ## D3 max is simply a high dose form of Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3. It is used to treat vitamin d deficiency and you should make sure that your doctor rechecks your vitamin d level again after you take the D3 Max for several months to see if the dosage that you are taking is effectively raising your vitamin D levels. Be happy that your doctor recommended that you take D3 Max because many doctors are recommending the FAR inferior prescription form, but Vitamin D3 is exactly what you should be taking. ## Please tell me the benifits of biod3max ## my 2 d dobutamine echo stress test were absolutely normal should other test are need for heart problem

Sir, this is Ravi Vishal i consulted a doctor after having a blood test. I was informed that heamoglobin level is low in my blood and the same has to be increased. I have been advised to take livogen, bentadon. folic acid tablets. Jus i want to know what way these tablets help me and i need to know since iam a pure vegetarian suggest me some particular vegetables which will make me strong. Thank You. ## The reason your level was low is likely due to the fact that you're a vegetarian and aren't taking in all of the nutrients you need. And that's exactly what these tablets are, they are nutritional supplements to correct the deficiencies you have. Livogen contains iron and Folic Acid. Benadon contains Pyridoxine, which is vitamin B6. It's okay to be a vegetarian, but you d...

While borage, evening primrose and black currant are well known GLA sources, GLA safflower oil delivers the most potent concentration of GLA available.

GLA can be used to treat or prevent a variety of conditions, including: rheumatoid arthritis allergies depression chronic fatigue syndrome psoriasis eczema (and other skin related issues) metabolic syndrome high c...

Is Mecobalamin has 500mcg of vitamin B12, whereas Neurobine has only 0.2mg. What is the difference between mcg and mg? Please advise. ## The 500mcg dosage would come out to be 0.5mg, so there is a larger dose in the Mecobalamin. Some of these higher dose ones have been known to cause nausea in some people. Is there anything else I can help with?

i studied dialy dose 600 IU to 800 IU per day,but in D rise sachets it contains 60000 IU , does it becomes toxic or any adverse effect may appear ## Hi, Narendra! For short term use, you can take this high of a dosage of Vitamin D. It is so important to our overall health that these types of doses are often given to people that are severely deficient in it. However, you couldn't keep taking this for a long period of time, because you would eventually build up too much of it in your body, which could also be dangerous. Did your doctor tell you to take this?

The dosage may be too high for her and that could be why she got nausea and suffered diarrhea. How is she doing now?
