इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट एक दर्द निवारक (पेन किलर) दवा है। इसका उपयोग सिरदर्द, दांत दर्द, शरीर में दर्द, मांसपेशियों में दर्द और जोड़ों के दर्द को कम करने और बुखार को कम करने के लिए किया जाता है। यह एक कॉम्बिनेशन दवा है जिसमें सक्रिय घटक (एक्टिव इनग्रेडिएंट) के रूप में इबुप्रोफेन और पेरासिटामोल होते हैं।
यह दवा बुखार, दर्द और सूजन के लिए जिम्मेदार कुछ केमिकल्स को बनने से रोककर अपना काम करती है। इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट को डॉक्टर द्वारा बताई गई डोज़ (खुराक) में बताई गई अवधि तक ही लेना चाहिए। जहां तक हो सके, इसे खाना खाने के बाद ही लिया जाना चाहिए। कॉम्बिफ्लेम टैबलेट, फ्लेक्सन टैबलेट और इमोल प्लस टैबलेट में भी इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट के समान घटक/दवाएं होती हैं।
यह सबसे अच्छा होगा अगर आप इस दवा को नियमित रूप से एक निश्चित समय पर लें। कोई भी डोज़ मिस न करें या डॉक्टर द्वारा बताई गई डोज़ से अधिक मात्रा में दवा न लें। आपको 24 घंटे में 3 से अधिक इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट नहीं लेनी चाहिए।
अगर आप प्रेग्नेंट (गर्भवती) हैं, प्रेग्नेंसी (गर्भावस्था) प्लान कर रही हैं, या ब्रेस्टफीडिंग (स्तनपान) करवाती हैं, तो इस दवा से इलाज शुरू करने से पहले अपने डॉक्टर को इस बारे में बताएं, साथ ही उन्हें अपनी पूरी मेडिकल हिस्ट्री की जानकारी भी दें।
गर्भवती महिलाओं को यह दवा नहीं लेनी चाहिए। यह दवा भ्रूण (फीटस) के विकास में बाधा डाल सकती है और होने वाले बच्चे में किडनी और हार्ट की समस्याओं का कारण बन सकती है। इसके कारण प्रसव/डिलीवरी में देरी हो सकती है। अगर प्रेग्नेंट महिला यह टैबलेट लेती है, तो मां और बच्चे दोनों में खून बहने से संबंधित विकार (ब्लीडिंग डिसऑर्डर) होने का खतरा रहता है। जो महिलाएं गर्भधारण (कंसीव) करने की कोशिश कर रही हैं और बांझपन (इनफर्टिलिटी) का इलाज करा रही हैं, उन्हें यह दवा नहीं लेनी चाहिए।
यह दवा बहुत कम मात्रा में मां के दूध में आती है, और दूध पी रहे बच्चे को नुकसान पहुंचने की अधिक संभावना नहीं होती है। अगर आप बच्चे को दूध पिलाती हैं, तो आप इस दवा का इस्तेमाल छोटी अवधि के लिए और कम से कम डोज़ में कर सकती हैं।
इस टैबलेट के कारण चक्कर आने, उनींदेपन, थकान और देखने में गड़बड़ी होने जैसी समस्याएं आ सकती हैं। इसलिए अगर आप यह टैबलेट ले रहे हैं और आपको ऐसे ही लक्षण दिखाई देते हैं, तो आपको ड्राइविंग न करने की सलाह दी जाती है।
आपको इस दवा के साथ शराब नहीं पीनी चाहिए। इससे लिवर की बीमारियों और पेट में ब्लीडिंग होने का जोखिम बढ़ सकता है।
अपने डॉक्टर से बात करें, अगर
इस टैबलेट को एक गिलास पानी के साथ निगल लें। इस दवा को खाने के साथ या खाने के बिना लिया जा सकता है। लेकिन अगर आपका पेट अधिक संवेदनशील है, तो आपको इसे खाने के साथ लेना चाहिए।
अगर आप एक डोज़ लेना भूल गए हैं, तो इस टैबलेट की डबल डोज़ न लें। याद आते ही अगली डोज़ लें। आपको इस टैबलेट की दो डोज़ के बीच कम से कम 6 घंटों का गैप रखना चाहिए।
इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट प्रोस्टाग्लैंडिंस नामक केमिकल के बनने की प्रोसेस में बाधा डालती है। यह केमिकल सूजन और दर्द के लिए जिम्मेदार होता है। यह बुखार को भी नियंत्रित करता है और कार्टिलेज मैट्रिक्स बनने को बढ़ावा देता है।
दूसरी दवाओं के साथ इंटरैक्शन
नहीं, इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट की लत नहीं पड़ती है। लेकिन फिर भी आपको अपनी जैसी स्थिति वाले किसी दूसरे मरीज को अपनी मर्जी से यह दवा लेने की सलाह नहीं देनी चाहिए।
COX या साइक्लोऑक्सीजिनेज इनहिबिटर, एंजाइम साइक्लोऑक्सीजिनेज को ब्लॉक करते हैं जो चोट या बीमारी की स्थिति में कुछ ऐसे पदार्थ रिलीज़ करता है, जिनके कारण दर्द और सूजन होती है। इस एंजाइम के 2 रूप हैं, जिन्हें COX-1 और COX-2 कहा जाता है। जबकि कुछ दवाएं COX-1 (एस्पिरिन, इंडोमेथेसिन) और कुछ दवाएं COX-2 (एटोरिकॉक्सीब, वाल्डेकोक्सीब) को चुनिंदा रूप से रोकती हैं, इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट दोनों एंजाइमों को रोकती है। इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट को अगर दूसरे COX इनहिबिटर्स के साथ कॉम्बिनेशन में इस्तेमाल किया जाता है, तो साइड इफेक्ट बढ़ जाते हैं। इसलिए आपको सावधानी बरतने की सलाह दी जाती है।
इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट की 2 टैबलेट के बीच कम से कम 6 घंटे का अंतराल होना चाहिए और आपको 24 घंटे में 3 से अधिक टैबलेट नहीं लेनी चाहिए। बिना डॉक्टर की सलाह या प्रेस्क्रिप्शन के, आपको 4 दिन से अधिक समय के लिए इस टैबलेट का इस्तेमाल नहीं करना चाहिए। अगर आपने इस दवा का लंबे समय तक इस्तेमाल किया है, तो अपने डॉक्टर से कंसल्ट कर लें। 12 साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों और 40 किलो से कम वजन वाले बच्चों में इस दवा का इस्तेमाल नहीं करना चाहिए। (अगर >12 वर्ष से अधिक उम्र का हो)।
दर्दनिवारक दवाएं (NSAIDs) पेट की परत को नुकसान पहुंचाती हैं, जिसके कारण पेट में ब्लीडिंग होती है। इससे अल्सर या परफोरेशन (आंत में छेद) हो सकते हैं। अगर आप दवा को नॉर्मल डोज़ में ले रहे हैं, तो ऐसा नहीं होता है। लेकिन अगर आप पेन किलर दवाओं को लंबे समय तक लेते हैं या अधिक मात्रा में लेते हैं तो ये समस्याएं आ सकती हैं। बहुत अधिक डोज़ लेने से पेट में अल्सर, ब्लीडिंग और परफोरेशन की समस्या आ सकती है।
इबुजेसिक प्लस का उपयोग सिरदर्द, दांत दर्द, शरीर में दर्द, मांसपेशियों और जोड़ों के दर्द और बुखार को कम करने के लिए किया जाता है।
आपको आवश्यकता के अनुसार इबुजेसिक प्लस लेनी चाहिए। इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट की दो टैबलेट के बीच कम से कम 6 घंटे का अंतर होना चाहिए। आपको 24 घंटे में 3 से अधिक गोलियां नहीं लेनी चाहिए। अगर आप बिना प्रेस्क्रिप्शन के इस दवा का इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं, तो 4 दिन से अधिक समय के लिए ऐसा न करें।
इबुजेसिक प्लस टैबलेट को खाने के साथ या खाने के बाद ही लिया जाना चाहिए। इससे पेट में जलन होने की संभावना कम हो जाती है।
नहीं, इबुजेसिक प्लस सर्दी-जुकाम और फ्लू में प्रभावी नहीं है। सर्दी-जुकाम और फ्लू एक प्रकार का मौसमी संक्रमण (इन्फेक्शन) है जो आमतौर पर वायरस के कारण होता है और इस दवा का संक्रमण पैदा करने वाले जीव पर कोई असर नहीं होता है। इसका उपयोग बुखार को कम करने और कान, नाक और गले के दर्द को दूर करने के लिए किया जाता है।

If the aforementioned food-related suggestions don’t help you out, you can always try out some non-food related ways like sleeping on your left side! Anatomy has got to do a great deal with this method of dealing with acidity. Since the oesophagus enters from the right side of the stomach, laying on our left side means the lower oesophagal sphincter lies above the level of stomach acid.
If you lie on your right side, the stomach acid covers this sphincter which increases the risk of acid reflux.
Some studies show that chewing on some gum may help reduce the acidity as the bicarbonate in it can help neutralise the acid to prevent reflux. More substantial research is required to support this finding but chewing gum can also create more saliva which can help in clearing the oesophagus.
Changing the position in which your sleep by raising the bed’s head so that the symptoms of acid reflux can be reduced is another home remedy that may help. Studies show that people who used a wedge to support and elevate their upper body had lessened acid reflux than those who slept in a flat manner.
I recall a case of a gentleman who experienced symptoms resembling acidity. Unfortunately, instead of seeking medical advice, he relied on his regular acidity medication, which provided no substantial relief. Tragically, he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest merely two days later. In reality, he was suffering from angina, but continued to exert himself through lengthy walks in an attempt to alleviate his perceived acidity symptoms. The essential message I aim to convey is the importance of consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis from the very beginning, as there are numerous instances where symptoms of heartburn and heart attacks are mistakenly interchanged.
Dr. Arpit Verma, MBBS, MD (Pharmacology)
Boil some mint leaves in water and drink a glass of this after meals. This is an instant remedy. You may also try other things like sucking on a piece of clove to get relief from acidity.
A sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits can cause acidity frequently.
If you experience severe heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms or conditions often, you must contact the doctor. In case you are having difficulty swallowing or taking pills for acidity everyday and no home remedies are working for you, it’s time to seek medical help.
A gastroenterologist will be able to help you in relieving the symptoms and providing treatment for acidity.
You can eat vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, carrot, broccoli, cabbage, sweet potato, peas, pumpkin and fruits, especially bananas, apples, watermelon, you can also eat unsweetened yogurt, fenugreek, beans, nuts and seeds, such as almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, to avoid acid reflux.
Yes, acidity can cause chest pain when stomach acid irritates the lining of the esophagus, a condition known as acid reflux or heartburn. This discomfort is typically felt in the chest area, often behind the breastbone, due to the proximity of the esophagus to the heart.
Acidity typically does not cause neck pain directly. However, severe acid reflux or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) may lead to discomfort that radiates upward, potentially causing a sensation of throat tightness or irritation, which can be mistaken for neck pain.
Lemon itself is acidic in nature, but it can have an alkalizing effect on the body once metabolized. However, consuming large amounts of lemon or highly concentrated lemon juice may exacerbate acidity in individuals prone to acid reflux or GERD due to its acidic pH, potentially triggering symptoms in sensitive individuals.
Acidity itself does not cause fever. Fever is typically a response to infections or inflammatory conditions caused by viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens. However, severe cases of acid reflux or GERD could potentially cause throat irritation or inflammation, which might lead to discomfort resembling a feverish sensation, but this is not a true fever caused by infection.
Acidity itself is not directly linked to causing headaches. However, severe acid reflux or GERD can lead to discomfort and disrupted sleep patterns, which may indirectly contribute to headaches in some individuals. Additionally, stress and anxiety often associated with acid reflux can also trigger tension headaches.
Acidity and pitta are related concepts in Ayurveda, where pitta is one of the three doshas (bioenergies) governing bodily functions. Pitta dosha, when aggravated, can lead to symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and acidity. Thus, while they are not exactly the same, an imbalance in pitta dosha can contribute to acidity and related digestive issues.
Yes, curd (yogurt) is often considered beneficial for managing acidity. It contains probiotics that can help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, aiding digestion and reducing symptoms of acid reflux. However, individual tolerance may vary, and some people with severe acid reflux or lactose intolerance may find curd exacerbates their symptoms.
Yes, coconut water is generally considered good for acidity. It is alkaline in nature and can help neutralize excess stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux. Additionally, coconut water is hydrating and contains electrolytes, which can further support digestive health. However, as with any food or beverage, individual responses may vary, so it’s advisable to observe how your body reacts to coconut water.
Ice cream may worsen acidity for some individuals due to its high fat content, which can relax the lower esophageal sphincter and allow acid to reflux into the esophagus. Therefore, moderation is advised for those prone to acidity.
Acidity itself is not typically dangerous, but chronic acidity or acid reflux can lead to more serious conditions if left untreated, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or esophagitis. It’s important to manage acidity symptoms to prevent potential complications.
In common usage, “acidity” and “acid reflux” are often used interchangeably to refer to the same condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort or pain. However, acidity can also refer more broadly to the level of acid in the stomach, while acid reflux specifically describes the movement of that acid upwards.

While we remember to use moisturizers and toners on our face, they are not able to reach in and deeply cleanse the pores of our skin. Our face is more exposed to dust and pollution than any of our other body parts and requires that extra bit of care. The key to a good skincare routine for the face is regular exfoliation. Exfoliating your skin benefits you in a number of ways and ensures smooth and supple skin.
Face scrubs help to remove dirt and dead skin. They also contain coarse particles that help exfoliate and deeply unclog impurities from our pores. There are a number of face scrubs available in the market specifically made for different skin types and skin concerns. Here is a list of the best face scrubs in India to choose from if you’re making that shift from regular skincare to exfoliation.

Benefits:
The most obvious advantage of using a facial scrub is that it removes dead skin cells from your face. Your face will appear dry and drab as a result of dead skin cells. These block your skin pores as well. Facial scrubs thoroughly exfoliate your skin and eliminate dead skin cells.
To keep the skin hydrated, the body creates sebum, a natural oil. However, occasionally the creation of sebum oil becomes excessive, and the surplus oil is trapped in the pores of your skin. Acne outbreaks occur when the skin pores get clogged. Exfoliation cleanses sebum oil from the skin and unclogs the pores.
When compared to skin in other parts of the body, facial skin is more sensitive, thinner, and vulnerable to damage. Rough, dull skin can be caused by poor skin care, pollution, and other factors. By promoting the skin renewal process, facial cleansers improve the texture of the skin.
No, a face scrub should not be used every day. Face scrubs are designed to be used once or twice a week as part of a skincare programme.
After using the face scrub, use a light moisturizer. When using the moisturizer, make sure your face is slightly damp. The moisturizer will go deeper into your skin and deliver the most advantages if your skin is damp.
No matter what your skin type is, a gentle scrub can be used once or twice a week, or as needed, depending on your needs. You can use it as your only cleanser during the day; at night, you can use it as part of a double cleansing routine, either before or after your preferred traditional cleanser. Proceed with the remainder of your skincare routine after rinsing and patting skin dry with a towel.
This is totally acceptable, especially if you enjoy the extra-clean (but never tight or dry) sensation provided by a well-formulated scrub. Face scrubs are designed to provide additional cleansing and softening effects. They don’t work in the same way as AHA or BHA exfoliants; instead, their effects complement one another.
Although a gentle scrub used with the lowest pressure could be a part of an acne prevention routine by providing extra cleansing, it is not enough to completely have the issue under control. Consult a dermatologist for treating acne.
Too much face scrubbing can cause skin irritation, redness and dryness. It makes your skin more sensitive to UV rays and sunburns, it also increases the chances of getting scratches.
Yes, face scrubs work by unclogging pores and can help get rid of whiteheads and blackheads.
You should not use a face scrub for more than 30-40 seconds. Over-scrubbing might lead to irritated and red skin as well as aggravate breakouts.

Mental disorders affect millions of people in the world and can lead to years of psychotherapy. In some cases, the psychological problem suffered is extremely rare or bizarre. This is a list of the five most bizarre psychological disorders.
Also known as Amputee Identity Disorder, this illness causes a person to wish to have a healthy part of their body amputated. In some cases, the sufferer has gone so far as to amputate their own limbs. Some sufferers also have sexual fetishes involving amputees. Some surgeons have actually amputated a limb for a person suffering this disorder but it is a highly controversial move and most doctors use similar treatments to those used for phantom limb disorders. Hence, it is one of the most bizarre psychological disorders.
Even though the root cause and the underlying mechanisms of what leads to this mental disorder are unknown, scientists believe that some factors contributing to it could be related to obsessive-compulsive habits, childhood and sexual trauma and sexual fantasies.
Prosopagnosia, or “face blindness.” This disorder is characterized by an inability to recognize faces visually even with normal vision. People with prosopagnosia may be able to recognize their friends through sounds, smells, or touch.
Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD(Pediatrics)
Erotomania refers to people who are deluded into thinking that someone else is in love with them but what makes this disorder especially bizarre is that the person who is supposedly in love with the sufferer is usually someone of much higher status than themselves-and often a celebrity.
This delusion can be difficult to break; even if the supposed lover directly denies any feelings of love, it is often not enough to convince the deluded individual. Unfortunately, there isn’t much known about this particular disorder, especially in regard to its treatment.
Diogenes syndrome is another bizarre phycological disorder especially seen in the elderly where a person does not take care of themselves or their surroundings, leading to poor hygiene and possibly some health and social challenges
Dr. Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S., M.D. in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are two mental disorders that are highly linked with erotomania. Feelings of low self-esteem, fear of rejection and loneliness, social distancing and refusal to believe anyone else’s point of view apart from your own are some common attributes observed in people with this disorder. People with low self-esteem are at a higher risk of developing this disorder since they may misread social situations and weave a story in their heads that makes them feel better. Losing a loved one or someone you were attached to can also cause this disorder as the patient may falsely associate themselves with a person of a much higher status to seek a sense of security.
Folie à deux (from the French for ”a madness shared by two”) is a rare psychiatric syndrome in which a symptom of psychosis is transmitted from one person to another. The same syndrome shared by more than two people may be called folie à trois, folie à quatre, folie en famille (family madness) or even folie à plusieurs (”madness of many”).
This disorder usually happens with people living in close proximity to one another- such as husbands and wives.
Even though the precise causes of this disorder are unknown the two major factors contributing to the development of this disorder are
Research states that when people are socially isolated from the world but are living in the same space together, they tend to depend on each other, picking up each other’s habits and getting influenced by one another. When these people are isolated together, they don’t have an outsider to point out their delusions and correct them. Thus, they go on believing that their delusions are true. It is important to separate these people when treating them from the inducer who influenced them.
Derealization is an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems strange or unreal. Other symptoms include feeling as though one’s environment is lacking in spontaneity, emotional colouring and depth. Individuals who suffer from derealization may complain that what they see lacks vividness and emotional colouring. Emotional response to visual recognition of loved ones may be significantly reduced. Feelings of déjà vu are common. Familiar places may look alien, bizarre and surreal. The world as perceived by the individual may feel like it is going through a dolly zoom effect. Such perceptual abnormalities may also extend to the senses of hearing, taste and smell.
Derealization is often caused by events that have occurred at a young age like – emotional trauma, abuse and neglect. When a child faces trauma such as these in their formative years, they tend to resort to detachment from their immediate environment to cope with the hurt. Other causes include:
Mythomania is a condition involving compulsive lying by a person with no obvious motivation. The affected person might believe their lies to be the truth and may have to create elaborate myths to reconcile them with other facts. A ”pathological liar” is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people. It may be that a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he or she is telling to be true, at least in public and is ”playing” the role.
As with any other mental disorder, it is important to seek counseling if you suspect you or someone you know is suffering. Taboos and stigmas are obstacles one must ignore to achieve mental well-being and treating some of the most bizarre psychological disorders.
Research conducted to get to the underlying issues causing pathological lying hasn’t yielded any accurate reasoning yet. However, this disorder is said to be a symptom observed in several other personality disorders like narcissistic disorder, antisocial personality type and histrionic personality to name a few.

To use a glucometer in the correct way, here is what you should do:
If you have type 1 or type 2 or gestational diabetes, you will need to check your blood glucose levels frequently. Stress, food, exercise, medication and several other health factors can affect your levels. People with type 1 diabetes especially, must keep track of their blood glucose levels at all times.
To use a glucometer, first you need to get your kit ready and wash your hands thoroughly. Then you need to switch on the machine and insert the test strip. Prick your finger and squeeze out blood. Place this drop of blood at the tip of the test strip. Wipe away any residual drops of blood.
To verify if the glucometer you have purchased is giving you precise results, check your blood glucose levels at the same time you go for lab tests. Then keep the two tests side by side and compare. Home kit results that are within 15% of the lab readings are taken to be accurate.
A glucometer is a device that helps to determine the degree of glucose in the solution. Mostly glucometers are based on electrochemical technology that makes use of electrochemical test strips that help carry out the test. The drop of blood is placed on this strip to generate results.
Factors such as strip storage, ageing and strip manufacturing variances can play a part in manipulating the glucometer accuracy.
Some side effects of using a glucometer are pain, muscle soreness, skin irritation and sensitivity.
