Hello sir, 1. For my high cholesterol, doctor prescribed Rosivastitin 10 mg and I am taking it since last more than one year. Is there any harm in taking it for years together? 2. For my enlarged prostate, dr prescribed Rapili D8. I am taking it for last morecthan one and a half years. Any harm/side effects for taking it regularly? Thnx

Ans: Please note that every medicine has some side effects. It is just that when we see more benefit than risk, these are prescribed. I advise that you get repeat lab tests done. Increase your lifestyle modifications and statins can be stopped. In my clinical practice, I have stopped Statins for many patients without any issue.

regarding other medicine for Prostate, it need to be continued and consult your physician for further and next step.

Question by Shifa - Jul 11, 2025Hindi

Career

I scored 91.8% in 10th and now i am in 11th preparing for neet is it a good option for me because we can see the competition in neet exam Although i am Preparing from pw online for it

Ans: Hi Dr. Shifa,

NEET is a good option after HSC (12th grade). Life is inherently competitive, so don't be afraid of it.

Reflecting back to 2020, only a few people were allowed outside their homes, and they were mainly in the health-related fields.

Now is the right time to start preparing for the NEET exam. Review both the NEET and board syllabuses, comparing them to identify similar chapters. Additionally, gather previous years' NEET exam question papers.

Make a list of questions based on the subjects. For any doubts or problems, ask your subject teachers for clarification immediately. This way, you won't encounter issues when preparing for or taking the test. With the guidance of your teachers, you can learn effective tips and strategies for your exam preparation.

This is my suggestion.

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

ALL THE BEST.

Question by Amit - Jul 16, 2025Hindi

Career

Mera neet (air 3035)and jee mains(19900) dono me acche marks hai samajh nahi aa raha kha lu Interest dono field me hai kya BTech and mbbs together kar sakte hai kya?

Ans: HI AMIT,

While you know how to drive a lorry, is it possible to drive two lorries side by side at the same time?

Technically, there are many difficulties involved. Suppose you have completed both courses – would you prefer to practice as a physician, or would you rather work in the field as an engineer?

In practice, multitasking is not feasible.

If the JEE and NEET exams were held simultaneously, what would you have done? Since these exams are conducted separately, it's a question worth considering. You can take one exam after the other, but not simultaneously.
ALL THE VERY BEST.
