Health Query

Sir, i am 22 years old, i am suffering from fits from past 7 years old doctors suggested me use zeptol for 3 years my doubt was it will cause any effect to my child after my marriage.

Dr. Alok Sinha

MD - Psychiatry, MBBS

Psychiatrist•Patna

Dear , zeptol (carbamazepine) is a teratogenic drug, that may harm the foetus. It is ok to take it now. You delay pregnancy by few years (5 years). By the time of pregnancy you may try gradually tapering and stopping it. If not possible few other safer anti-epileptic medicines like lamotrigine may be tried, although small risk of cleft palate is there, but no very serious risk.

For trigeminal neuralgia, tegrital (carbamazepine) is most effective drug. He is on very minimal dose, dose can be adjusted if required but some effects are possible like sedation, rashes and decreased sodium level. Most of the patients require long term treatment.

Thanks for your query. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.
If it is joints pain then it can be due to arthritis but if there is generalised limb pain i advise you to get a DEXA scan and Vitamin D levels done.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.

Thanks & Regards

You must get your Vit D level checked along with calcium and phosphorus. Get Dexa bone scan for bone densiometry and consult your doctor if there is any problem. Keep doing light exercise and walk. Eat milk curd spinach broccoli. All the best.

Which test can do either osteoporosis or not? And which test can do in osteoporosis?

Dr. Jayvirsinh Chauhan93%(35817 ratings)

You need to measure your bone mineral density to find out osteoporosis. To find out bone mineral density you need to go for dexa scan. It's the report you are asking for. You can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment and further guidance about osteoporosis.

Asked for female, 60 years old from Greater Noida

I am 60 years female, I am prescribed methylcobalamin tablets 1500 by my ent doctor. I have been taking 1 becosules daily (on and off) for the past year. Please suggest should I continue becosules too along with methylcobalamin tablet?

General Physician•Ahmedabad

Hi
becosule contains only 15 mcg of methylcobalamine (b12) but also has other vitamin b complexes. So it should be fine to take both of them. Also at yoyears age, I would advice you to start taking calcium and d3 after going for dexa scan as with age, calcium and d3 deficiencies are common cause of weak bones. Regards.

Psychiatrist•Chittoor

You need to be careful about the drug interactions. Tegretol (carbamazepine) can reduce levels of rozerem (ramelteon) whereas faverin (fluoxamine) can increase it. Faverin can increase levels of tegretol and that can be worrisome if not closely monitored. There are other solutions for your ocd.
Please consult for further assessment and counselling which would help you comprehensively.
