1/ I’m Anas Islam, a Lecturer in Pharmacology at the Integral University, Lucknow.
This thread is a quick introduction to who I am and what I’ll be sharing here.

Different medicine boxes can contain the same active ingredient. A headache tablet and a cold medicine may both contain paracetamol (acetaminophen). Check every active-ingredients list, including prescription labels, before combining medicines. Follow Dose of Science for daily updates. #MedicationSafety

Two allergy medicines, different routes to the brain. Older antihistamines are more likely to cause drowsiness; newer ones are less likely to—but “non-drowsy” doesn’t mean never sleepy. Check the label. 💊 #Allergies

How can one medicine reverse another drug’s effects? Naloxone competes with opioids for the same receptor sites, helping restore breathing during an opioid overdose. Its effect is temporary—emergency care is still essential.

Finding the mould was only the beginning.

Fleming discovered penicillin’s antibacterial effect in 1928—but turning that observation into a usable medicine required years of purification research, fermentation breakthroughs and industrial engineering.

The real story of penicillin is discovery and scale.

4/ I believe good science communication should be accurate, accessible, and useful, not just jargon-heavy summaries.
If you’re a student, researcher, pharmacist, or simply interested in how drugs and delivery systems work, you’re in the right place.
I’ll be posting regularly. Looking forward to the conversations.

3/ On this account, I’ll mostly share:
• Simple breakdowns of recent pharmacology and drug-delivery research
• Clear explanations of complex mechanisms
• Practical insights for pharmacy students and early-career researchers
• Occasional commentary on new papers and clinical developments
