Question 1

I have developed very severe dark circles over the past 7-8 months, even though I get adequate sleep (6-8 hours). My parents did not have dark circles earlier, but have developed them recently. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Dark circles can be caused by ageing, allergies, thin skin, increased pigmentation, nutrient deficiencies, or excessive sun exposure, even when sleep is adequate. Using moisturisers, high SPF sunscreen, creams containing vitamin C or retinoids, and maintaining a healthy diet may help. If your dark circles appear suddenly or worsen, please see a doctor to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Question 2

I have dark circles around my eyes. I started using Dermadew Glow cream, but since then, the darkness has worsened. What should I do?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

You should stop using Dermadew Glow cream immediately, as the increased darkness may be due to irritation or an allergic reaction to its ingredients. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist to find a more suitable treatment for your skin type. Until then, get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and protect the skin around your eyes from sunlight.

Question 3

I am 36 weeks pregnant. My amniotic fluid level is on the lower side of normal, and my doctor has suggested a C-section within the next seven days. My baby currently weighs about 1.9 kg. I am taking Duvadilan 10 mg (Isoxsuprine) and Astymin as prescribed. Is early delivery necessary, and is Duvadilan safe to take at this stage?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

At 36 weeks of pregnancy, having a lower amniotic fluid level may increase the risk of complications, such as reduced oxygen supply to the baby. Your doctor may recommend early delivery to ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Duvadilan (Isoxsuprine) is sometimes used to improve blood flow to the placenta and is generally considered safe in late pregnancy when prescribed by your doctor. It is important to continue taking these medicines as directed and attend all monitoring appointments.

Question 4

I have had three miscarriages in 7 years, and my recent tests show low B12, iron, and vitamin D levels. Are there any medications or supplements that can help me?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

You should consult your doctor or a fertility specialist to receive prescription-strength supplements to safely correct your iron, B12, and vitamin D deficiencies. You must also consider an evaluation for recurrent miscarriages to determine whether these deficiencies or other underlying health conditions are affecting your ability to maintain a pregnancy.

Astymin-3 injection, which contains amino acids, glycine and sorbitol, is sometimes given along with intravenous fluids like dextrose to support nutrition and recovery, but whether it can be added directly into a dextrose infusion drip depends on compatibility, patient condition, and the doctor’s judgment; therefore, it should only be mixed or administered under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
