Pharmacist’s advice
In serious conditions such as malignant diseases, diabetic foot, gangrene, vascular complications and immunological disorders, any additional therapy, supplementation or use of specific preparations must be coordinated with the doctor managing the patient’s care. Do not stop prescribed therapy and do not postpone specialist follow-up. Foot wounds, pain, redness, swelling, unpleasant odour, fever or worsening general condition require urgent medical care.
