Question 1

i have high blood iron levels. are there any adverse effects from this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If your iron is too high you may have a condition called hemochromatosis which can have many consequences. You should talk to your doctor.

Question 2

i am currently on post exposure profilaxis (pep) for hiv. mid way in my 30-day medication journey, i forgot to take a dosage for one day. wis there any adverse effects? should i take 2 dosages the following day to accommodate for the skip?

Accepted Answer

Best to discuss doc: I don't know if you have an ID doctor who is prescribing your PEP, but this question would best be directed at that physician. In general, though, for PEP, if you forget just one days dose you should indeed double up  the next dose,or as soon as you remember, whichever is first. If it's more than one day's dosing, you absolutely need to speak with prescribing physician,  as change may be needed.

Question 3

will i get any adverse effects if i only receive one dose of the moderna  covid-19 vaccine?

Accepted Answer

: Confused as to why you would want only one dose, as the immune protection is far greater with both doses.  It is a mistake to go halfway, and urge you to complete the process.

Question 4

is there any known adverse effects for taking protein powder (whey, casein)? i usually drink one or two a day between meals, not as a meal replacement

Accepted Answer

Minimal: Whey protein isolates are generally very safe to ingest. There is a potential for some abdominal distress if you take too much at once, but this is rather rare. Assuming you have no other medical issues that would preclude you from processing protein, you should be just fine.

Question 5

off antibiotics for bv. doctor gave me one fluconazole 150mg to take after. will monistat 7 be just as effective? worried about pill adverse effects.

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: Monistat would be just as effective if you have yeast as well as BV, but a vaginal cream can make it a bit difficult to judge discharge, i.e. how well the BV treatment is working. Side effects are very rare from oral fluconazole; I suggest you follow your doctor's advice. Or hold off and see if you get yeast symptoms as your BV clears. If not, probably neither treatment will be needed.

Question 6

took 2 birth control pills by accident. will this cause any adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

No: An extra dose one time is not a big deal and should not cause any problems.

Question 7

my vitamin d level is 19ng/ml the lab reference is 30-100. nih website says 20ng/ml is adequate, and above 50 has adverse effects, but md says above 30 is optimal. do i need to supplement and how much? md advised 5000 iu/day, i think it's excessive?

Accepted Answer

: Levels of 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) or above are adequate for bone and overall health. Levels below 30 nmol/L (12 ng/mL) are too low &amp; might weaken your bones &amp; affect your health. Levels above 125 nmol/L (50 ng/mL) are too high and can cause health problems.For you, the 19 is too low and should be increased and initially increasing with 5000 IU per day for about a month, then 1000 IU per day usually.

Question 8

what kind of adverse effects can being severely shocked (surprised) have on a young boy (14-15 years of age)?

Accepted Answer

Probably none: If the youngster is expressing difficulties around this issue, then counseling could be helpful.

Question 9

can internal cleansers have any adverse effects?

Accepted Answer

Cleansers: I am assuming you are speaking about colonic types of treatments whether in an enema or oral cleanse formulation.  There can be a number of negative effects on the GI system.  The main acute issue with rapid transit loss of electrolytes and changes in ph balance of blood.  The most negative effect resulting from this is often neurologic, sometimes irreversible.  Use caution.

Question 10

after smoking 4 35yrs. any adverse effects i should expect?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: Emphysema, cough, shortness of breath, recurrent upper respiratory infections, hoarseness, throat and lung cancer, and coronary disease! heart attacks! peripheral vascular disease! amputations if diabetic etc.
