Pregnancy can only be predicted if you miss your periods. If that has happened, do a urine pregnancy test.

Not much. Specific medicine required. You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

It is not clear why you were given these medications in the first place. Yes, they can cause some sedation/ drowsiness and lack of concentration. Stop them now.

I have been going to the gym for 6 months and have not seen much improvement and my personal trainer has suggested me to get supplements. I have came across a product called "Weider Prime Testosterone Booster" which contains Vitamin D3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin), Calcium (as dicalcium phosphate, Zinc (as mono L-methionine sulfate) (L-OptiZinc), Chromium (as chromium picolinate) (Chromax, Diindolylmethane (DIM), Ashwagandha Extract (root) (KSM-66, Cordyceps Extract (mycelia) and Piperine (from Black Pepper). It has claimed to boost muscle growth and endurance. Is this product reliable?

Weider Prime is a testosterone supplement that contains a bunch of proven vitamins, minerals, and herbs. Although the ingredient formulation is on point, the dosage amounts are not where they need to be. Even though Weider Prime is a rare case in which I actually recommend the supplement, I just want you to keep in mind that supplementation shouldn't be your only plan of attack. The fact that you're reading this right now means that you are in pursuit of increasing your testosterone levels to preserve your youth, energy, and virility. Sure supplements can help you in that pursuit, but the major key to achieving these goals lies in diet and lifestyle. Only after your nutrition, training, and sleep are on point should you even consider buying supplements. ​ But to answer the question: Yes, Weider Prime works. But don't expect it to deliver results if taking it is the only thing you do. ​

Mr. Lybrate-user, these are only vitamins (benfotiamine, chromium is and b12,) lipoleic acid is an anti oxidant, chromium picolinate is a micronutrient, helps insulin action in every one plus essential for various other functions. These drugs are given as additional or supportive therapy and to treat nevous system related symptoms. These are not exclusively for diabetes. If you feel there are side effects because of that, stop the dose. Effects will go away.

These are vitamins and minerals. No harm is done usually. But if you are experiencing problems with the medicine, please stop it and contact your doctor.

You can take this supplement once a day. It is quite safe to do so. But do not take other multivitamins along with this. It may lead to overdose of some specific compounds.
