Question 1

i took 4 alev within 2 hours by mistake?

Accepted Answer

Depend on the person: An otherwise normal healthy person who takes an Aleve twice a day on occasion, for pain treatment, and has no problems at that over-the-counter dosing, should be ok if she accidentally takes 4 Aleve in one day. She might take antacid a couple of times that day to prevent stomach upset... and not take any more Aleve for a day or two. If she has other meds or disorders, her primary doctor will help.

Question 2

i got results of carnitin test. normal carnitin but low acylcarnitin. should i be worried? free carnitin 46.0 mol/l r 43.4 - 105.5
acyl carnitin 5.0 mol/l r 5.6 - 14.3
total carnitin 51.0 mol/l r 49.0 - 119.7
carnitin acyl/total 0.10 r 0.12 - 0.30?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, this is not a usual test for diagnosing or monitoring any health issue in a person who does not have an inherited disorder of amino acid metabolism.   
Wish you good health!
