Medications for Digestive Issues

Acid Reflux/Gastric Problems: Omeprazole, Ranitidine, and Pantoprazole reduce stomach acid, relieving symptoms of acid reflux and preventing stomach ulcers.

Common Allergies: Cetirizine, Loratadine, and Fexofenadine are antihistamines that relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

Medications for Infections

Bacterial Infections: Antibiotics like Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, and Azithromycin treat various bacterial infections.
Fungal Infections: Antifungal Cream/Ointment and Fluconazole are used to treat fungal infections on the skin and other parts of the body.

Pain Management

General Pain/Headache: Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Naproxen are pain relievers that also reduce inflammation and fever.

First Aid Essentials

Minor Injuries: Adhesive Bandages, Antiseptic Cream, and Hydrogen Peroxide are essential for treating minor cuts and wounds.

Malaria Prevention

Prophylaxis: Chloroquine, Mefloquine, and Doxycycline are used to prevent malaria, a mosquito-borne disease common in some parts of India.

Traveler's Diarrhea

Prevention and Treatment: Loperamide treats symptoms of diarrhea, while Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) can be used for prevention and treatment.

অসাধারণ সার্ভিস এই ইনফরমেশন সেন্টারের,বিশেষত তাদের ব্যাবহার অনেক সুন্দর। যারা অসুস্থ থাকেন তারা সর্বদা দুশ্চিন্তায় থাকেন। সে সময় যদি কেউ হাসি মুখে পাশে থাকেন তার থেকে আনন্দের বোধকরি কিছু হয় না। apollo information centre তেমনই একটি প্রতিষ্ঠান। তাছাড়া অনলাইনে ডাক্তরদের সাথে রোগী দেখানোর সময় তারা যে ভাবে সাহায্য করেন, নিজেরা প্যানেলে থেকে ভাষাগত ভাবে হেল্প করেন, বাস্তবিক সেটা প্রশংসার দাবিদার। বিশেষত ইসরাত জাহান আপু টেলিমেডিসিন পরিসেবা গ্রহণের সময় যে ভাবে হেল্প করেন,রোগীর প্রতিটি কথা ইংরেজিতে অনুবাদ করে ডাক্তারকে বলেন,আবার ডাক্তার সাহেবের কথা বাংলায় বুঝিয়ে দেন।সেটা এক কথায় অসাধারণ।তারপর, দ্রুত রোগীদের কাছে প্রেসকিপশন পাঠানোর ব্যাবস্থা করেন।এগুলা সম্পূর্ণ আন্তরিকতার পরিচয় বহন করে। আমি এই প্রতিষ্ঠানের সমৃদ্ধি কামনা করি।
