most cancer drugs come from India that would be 80% of these drugs and these 3 top drug Pharmaceutical Companies are Tulip lab pvt ltd and Bayer and also Novartis India Ltd just out of general interest i have seen a documentary on television back in 2015 i think it was called Dispatches if memory serves me well i thought i would share this information would you @SureenaSpeaks

you need at least a 3 day Break from Opiates then use them again they not good for everyday use i know this because i have had discussions with my retired Gp he was a good Doctor but he advice me too take a 3 day break and use plain Paracetmol or Asprin then go back to the Co-Codamol after because you can build such a tolerance which is very bad the reason why people are so dependent on this Drug as Co-Codamol contains Opium inside the tablet so you have to be cautious with these tablets and use them when you really need them before it turns into a vicious circule.

hi Sureena your videos rock! Just wondering, is amiodarone with simvastatin the only statin interaction or does it count for all statins at max 20mg. thankyou

[@SureenaSpeaks]

Aww thank you! So have a look at the SPC for amiodarone under section 4.5 it states which statins to avoid :) for simvastatin specifically no higher than 20mg; and for atorvastatin, lipid levels would need to be monitored to ensure the lowest possible effective dose was used. Hope that helps! :)

Hey sureena will it be possible to do a vid on drugs which can change colours of the stools/urine or any part of the body

[@SureenaSpeaks]

heya so the ones that come to mind are: Ferrous (fumarate, sulphate etc) = black stools Nitrofurantoin = Orangey urine Rifampicin = orange/red urine, saliva, sputum, tears (so contact lens wearers shouldn't wear contacts whilst on rifampicin) Triamterene = blue urine (under certain lighting) if I think of any others I'll let you know :)

[@SureenaSpeaks]

Sulfasalazine = orange Co-danthromer = red urine Levodopa = red/orange
