I am not sure why he has recommended Vriddhivadhika Vati in such case.
Vriddhivadhika Vati is not formulated for cold, cough and fever. There are many safer formulations available for these general conditions.
I suffer with enlarged prostrate. Patanjali Doctor has prescribed Vridhivadhika vati and Kanchanar guggul. Is it OK.
Vridhivadhika vati is for hydrocele and hernia. Why has it been recommended for thyroid problem?
It would be better to ask this question to your consulting physician.
Vridhivadhika vati can be given in cases of Thyroid Nodule or abnormal growth of thyroid gland, which can be either benign or malignant.
I suffer with unnatural growth of tumor on body likely on hand, and stomach. My friend (who is completed Ayurveda course) recommended Kanchanar Guggul and Vridhivadhika Vati. But I also suffer with bleeding piles. Is it ok?
Vridhivadhika Vati should not be taken if you also have bleeding piles because it has very hot potency and may cause increase in the bleeding.

I have thrombocythemia with platelet count 10 lac/mcm (normal 4). Allopathic Dr prescribed Hydrea which I rejected due fearsome side effects. Vidhya Pharmacy recommended Vriddhivatika Vati 2-0-2 and Kanchanar Guggulu 2-0-2. Is it true that these two preparations can stop the abnormal production of platelets?
I cannot give a straightforward answer if these medicines work or not. Ayurveda considers dominance and aggravation of Vata, Pitta and Kapha Dosha. The treatment is recommended accordingly.
