Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Afeem addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.

You would need to finely chew and eat about 200 apple seeds, or about 20 apple cores, to receive a fatal dose. With the minimal dose your friend has no problems

My question can be controversial but I'm asking it out of concern. Since last 1.5 years doctors prescribed me tons of antibiotics almost every other month I was on some course of an antibiotic. Dentist prescribed it before a planned extraction, physicians and ENT specialist for throat sore and dermatologist for a skin boil etc. I was always concerned about antibiotics resistance so I prepared a chart of my all treatments on antibiotics and showed that to each of my doctor so that they can give a second thought before prescribing antibiotic. All the doctors were well experienced and well known so I can't question their capabilities but still they prescribed antibiotics sometimes saying "to avoid secondary infection" Sometimes I took amoxicillin course one after other. I know most of the time antibiotics were not needed and despite my concern I was prescribed it. My questions are: What are the real guideline for antibiotic? Do they really cause resistance or it is something which is still under research? How as a patient I can check with my doctor that are antibiotics the only option (unfortunately my chart didn't work)? Same antibiotic can be repeated frequently?

The L-Carnitine helps the body convert fat into energy, so it's typically used by people who are exercising and/or trying to lose weight.Levocarnitine is used to prevent and treat a lack of carnitine. It is used to prevent and treat this condition in patients with kidney disease on dialysis. It is given to people whose body cannot properly use carnitine from their diet. Lack of carnitine can lead to liver, heart, and muscle problems.
