I am an ankylosing spondylitis patient. I have been prescribed by a delhi doctor to have tablet DC Bone. However I reside in Kolkata and these tablets r not available here. I have been adviced by the chemist to have Calcimax Forte instead. Though it has the same components, can it be taken as a substitute for DC Bone Tablet. ## I can't find any information on a tablet under the name DC Bone. However, Calcimax Forte contains 1000mgs of Calcium Carbonate, 100mgs of Magnesium, 200i.u.s of Vitamin D and 4mgs of Zinc. So, as long as it meets or exceeds what is in the tablet the doctor recommended, then yes, it is fine to use it, instead. Are there any comments or questions?

Do I still need to take my losartan now that I am on diltiazem and digoxin for Afib? ## What has your doctor advised? What have your blood pressure readings been? How's the a-fib? The Losartan is an ARB and the Doltiazem is a calcium channel blocker and while they both treat the same types of conditions, they are often used together to help enable better control of them. Thus, one shouldn't be stopped, without your doctor's approval and supervision. Are there any other questions or comments?

I take several different medicines each day. How should I space the time when taking them? Is all at once okay? Or should I take them at different times each day? ## I am sorry, but without knowing what medications they are, to check for any contraindications, we cannot possibly guess. Has your doctor or pharmacist given you any specific advice on this? Some medications can be taken together, but there are some that do have to be spaced apart. If you post back with a list of what they are, I'll be glad to see what I can find out for you! ## I am to take these medications once each day and I wanted to know if I can take them all at once or should I take them at different times of the day: Amlodipine Besylate Coenzyme Q-10 Calcium Carbonate + D Potassium Chloride Simvastatin Triamtere...

What is difference between these two medicines, pl specify their respective use. ## Hi, Sharma! I'm always happy to help, if I can! Amlong AT contains the active ingredients Amlodipine and Atenolol, so it combines a calcium channel blocker with a beta blocker, this combination is most commonly used to help treat high blood pressure, but is also sometimes used for certain cardiac conditions. Amlong MT contains Amlodipine and Metoprolol, so it just has a different beta blocker in it, but it's used to treat the same types of conditions. It's really just that the same medications don't always work for everyone, so there are generally several combinations available to provide other treatment options. Side effects for both may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotensio...

He prescribed Maxgalin M75 for 40 days. It cured completely. I have little numbness bottom of feet. He prescribed Prelien M 75 (same as Max.) yesterday when I was washing mouth blood oozed out from Gums. It is as I read one of the side effects so I totally stopped it. I am now taking Alpha Lipoic Acid Tab. 300 mg after Lunch and Nervez B after B.F. Nervez B contains 100 mg ALA. so total 400 mg is going in. My Dr. says I must take ALA 600 mg daily.
