Antidepressants + alcohol?
ByDacleb25
Are you really not allowed to drink a single sip when taking 10mg of antidepressants? I'm not a drunk but I do enjoy drinking from time to time and have been taking 10mg antidepressants for three months now.

Good evening, I took 400mg of Tilidin Comp exactly 10 hours ago. Can I now take 600mg of Tilidin Comp? I weigh 88 kilograms and am 180 cm tall.
Alcohol after vaccination?
How many days should you avoid drinking alcohol after all the normal vaccinations you get from your doctor? Because Google only ever shows results for the first few days. I'd be interested to know exactly how many days.
Indigestion?

I've had really bad digestive problems since I started taking the antibiotic doxycycline. I'm eating a lot more, and my lower abdomen is constantly hard. I've tried everything. I…
Numbing spray before injection (doctor)?
ByTeckraid
Hello, I had an injection in my shoulder two weeks ago, but I didn't feel anything because the doctor sprayed an anesthetic on the area beforehand. What kind of spray could it have been? He sprayed 10 seconds before spraying.
The extrarenal elimination fraction (Q0) of a drug indicates which proportion of the total elimination of the drug does not take place via the kidneys. If the kidney function is impaired, the dose adjustment may be necessary to avoid excessive enrichment of the drug.
The dosage for a patient with reduced kidney function can be calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula or other specific dosage recommendations for the respective drug. The Cockcroft-Gault formula uses serum-creatinin values, the age and sex of the patient to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
However, without specific information about the drug, the dosage units or the route of administration, it is difficult to propose an accurate dosage adjustment. It is important that the dosage is determined individually for each drug and every patient taking into account all relevant factors.
