Checked my BP last year and got a 140/something reading, I never went back to the hospital because I always feared that if you check naim you go find something.

Clafiya came to our office a few weeks ago and did a free health check for us, so I decided to check again, got 146/91. The bobo said I’m definitely hypersensitive and asked questions about my lifestyle. Of all the things I said, he said if I can fix the sleep, that can make a big difference.

A week ago, I started using melatonin tabs and I’ve slept all through the night for one week straight. Checked my BP at the hospital today and it’s down to 124/81.

Man, if you just pay attention to your health, you’ll be surprised what you can achieve.

These are the issues ⛔️

The market is flooded with all sorts of drug combinations.
People are told one single drug can cure all their ailments

Drugs stored in abysmal conditions and given out irrationally

Antimicrobial resistance; a silent pandemic gradually killing us

Every drug in the world (including vitamin c and herbal medicines) is a potential POISON.

Yes, every single drug!

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Malt + Milk won’t give you blood ✅
White and Orange vitamin c are the same ✅
Drinking milk to relieve pain from a stomach ulcer will worsen the pain eventually ✅
Antibiotics can’t cure viral infections like hepatitis, herpes, hiv etc ✅
Every drug has a side effect ✅

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Some drugs are MODIFIED RELEASE so they are designed to be released slowly. If crushed the whole dose can be released too quickly in the body causing dose dumping and an overdose.

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

If you are finding it hard to swallow tablets or capsules you might think its a good idea to crush the tablets or open the capsules and mix the powder with a drink. Nope!

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Some drugs are ENTERIC coated. These should never be crushed as the enteric coats are there to protect the drug from the acidic environment of the stomach. Crushing them significantly reduced their efficacy

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

PLEASE know that MEDICINES can change to poisons/harmful substances or totally loose their efficacy when kept under the SUN ☀️ or high temperatures for a period of time.

DONT patronize QUACKS!

Get your medication from a licensed source.

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Once you start hearing
“This drug will flush your system”
“This drip will flush typhoid and malaria”
“This supplement will CURE” asthma, hypertension etc

RUN…it’s a scam.

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Dear parents,

Stop using spoons for FOOD to measure medicines for your children ❌
You may be overdosing/under-dosing your child

Use the appropriate measuring cups/oral syringes to get an accurate measurement of the dose required ✅

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

It may seem like something/someone is holding you down but it’s your mind playing tricks on you. Trying to fight it only makes it worse because when you panic it gets hard to breathe.

[Pharmexng @pharmexng]

Science has helped us understand that not everything is mysterious.

A malfunction in this mechanism means your mind wakes up before your body is reactivated. So you’re awake but you can’t move.
