Question 1

is zinc & vitamin c & d the culprit in black fungus ? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Black fungus is an opportunistic organism that is usually seen in immune suppressed patients.  This has recently become a problem in India, associated with Covid-19 infections.  There is some early indications that zinc supplements, especially in large doses, can make it easier to get or spread black fungus.  There is no indication that vitamins C and D have anything to do with black fungus.

Question 2

is it ok to take vitamin c, womens multivitamins, and hair, skin & nails vitamins altogether? all are in gummies?

Accepted Answer

: Most multivitamins have mostly the same ingredients, even when advertised or labeled for hair, women's health, or general health. Look at the ingredients and pick one that has all the different vitamins. It wouldn't be harmful to take two or three different ones, but there's no need and you can save money by cutting back.

Question 3

is it safe to take a hair, skin, and nails (contains biotin and vitamin c) pill, while i am taking doxycycline 100mg for my acne?

Accepted Answer

Should be OK...: Fortunately Doxycycline does not have too many drug interactions and should not interfere or be significantly affected by your use of the supplement described in your question. But like all else, unexpected reaction can occur and so if you experience any significant symptoms, consult doc.  Good luck.

Question 4

i take losartan and hydrochlorothiazide and avaine daily. im also taking vitamin c, fish oil, hair/skin/nail, and vitamin d. is there any vitamins i should stop using?

Accepted Answer

Goals?: Vitamins are no longer recommended as supplements to be taken indefinitely unless clear deficiencies proven or recovering after acute conditions and for short periods. Best to further coordinate would be your GP, who would be aware of details of your medical history.

Question 5

lately my both hand swell every morning aching my bone (borh hand). one of my middle finger swollen and hurt constantly. do i need vitamin c? or?

Accepted Answer

?: Could be some type of rheumatoid arthritis but cannot tell over the internet
osteoarthritis can cause this also 
i doubt that vit c will do much good by itself
might be a good idea to see a doctor about this.

Question 6

used to put bleach,disinfectant spray, 
hand sanitizer,vitamin c tablets in my vagina.will this affect fertility? i no longer do it. normal periods

Accepted Answer

Chemical burns/react: Not a great idea unless you want your vagina to painfully swell closed. If you have stopped, this should not affect your fertility; however, I advise NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN.

Question 7

hit my head 4 days ago someone accidentally hit me with his hand i was fine yesterday and today i have a fever ( shiverish) itchy throat and a cough could it be related ( neurogenic fever ) or it's just a cold? took vitamin c and tylenol?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds to be an upper respiratory tract infection, and no relationship to a minor head injury.  However, get tested for COVID-19 just to cover possibilities..

Question 8

i have toe nail fungus, how can i cure it?

Accepted Answer

: There are many topical and oral medications for nail Fungus. It is a difficult problem to cure . Laser treatments have had some success. I have had some patients use Vicks vapor rub once a day before bed. I suggest you see a Podiatrist. You also need to disinfect your shoes. We recommend Lysol spray in the shoes and let them dry for 2 days. New shoes need to be sprayed also
