May 2023 Health Articles – Quick Guide to Meds, Supplements & Wellness
If you skimmed ScriptCo’s blog last month, you probably noticed a mix of medication deep‑dives, practical skin care hacks, and mental‑health nuggets. Below is the low‑down on everything we posted in May 2023, so you can grab the info you need without scrolling through each article.
Medication Side Effects & Safety
We started the month with a look at Amiodarone, warning readers about possible nausea, vomiting and constipation. The takeaway? Keep a symptom diary and call your doctor if anything feels off.
Next up was Levocetirizine for insect‑bite allergies. It’s an antihistamine that can calm itching fast—just remember to check with a professional before adding it to your routine.
We also covered Desonide and why you should stay out of direct sunlight while using the cream. Sun protection isn’t optional; it prevents extra skin irritation.
Clopidogrel got a quality‑of‑life review—great for preventing clots but can cause bleeding or stomach upset, so monitoring is key.
The blog warned about Ranitidine and its link to acute kidney injury. If you’re on Zantac, regular kidney tests are wise.
We gave a step‑by‑step guide for safely tapering off Omeprazole. Gradual dose reduction and lifestyle tweaks (like avoiding trigger foods) make the process smoother.
Lastly, we explored the risk of Risperidone-induced tardive dyskinesia. Spotting early facial movements and talking to your psychiatrist can keep things under control.
Lifestyle & Wellness Tips
For skin lovers, our post on caring for chapped skin after sun exposure suggested gentle cleansing, aloe‑rich moisturizers, and plenty of water. Simple steps that prevent peeling and discomfort.
If you’re dealing with an overactive bladder, we highlighted support groups—online forums, local meetups, even social media circles. Sharing stories eases the stigma and offers practical tricks.
We connected the dots between bladder stones and urinary‑tract muscle spasms, explaining how irritation can trigger painful contractions and why early detection matters.
The “Flatulence and Mental Health” article reminded us that excess gas isn’t just a physical nuisance—it can spark anxiety and affect mood. Good gut health equals a calmer mind.
Our deep dive into calcium supplements broke down the different types, the role of vitamin D and magnesium, and how to pick the right product for stronger bones.
We also shared an eye‑opening piece on parasites being used in new medical therapies. Turns out some tiny organisms can help modulate immune responses—potentially a game‑changer for allergies and auto‑immune disorders.
All these posts share one common thread: practical, easy‑to‑apply advice that puts you in charge of your health. Whether you’re tracking side effects, looking for skin relief, or curious about cutting‑edge research, May 2023 offered a solid toolbox.
