💊 Bisoprolol – The Heart’s Chill Pill!

> ❤️ Your heart works hard — sometimes too hard!

💊 Bisoprolol helps your heart slow down and beat more efficiently. It reduces blood pressure and eases strain on the heart, especially in people with high blood pressure or heart failure.

⏱️ It works by blocking the effects of adrenaline — think of it as putting your heart into “calm mode.”

💡 Take it at the same time each day, and don’t stop suddenly (your heart needs time to adjust!).

⚠️ Common side effects: feeling tired, cold hands/feet, or dizziness — but these often settle with time.

🔍 Myth: “You can take Levothyroxine whenever you remember.”

> ❌ Myth: “It’s fine to take my thyroid tablet at any time of day — as long as I take it.”

✅ Truth: Timing really matters with Levothyroxine!

🕗 Take it first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, with water only — then wait 30 minutes before breakfast, tea, or coffee.

☕ Caffeine, calcium, and iron can all interfere with absorption, making the tablet less effective.

💡 Consistency is key — take it the same way, at the same time, every day.

💊 Levothyroxine — The Energy Reboot Tablet!

> 💤 Feeling sluggish, foggy, or just not yourself? Sometimes your thyroid might be whispering for help.

⚡ Enter Levothyroxine — the body’s “energy reboot button” that replaces the thyroid hormone your body needs to keep your metabolism ticking along.

🕗 Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and give it about 30 minutes before breakfast or coffee — yes, that includes tea too! ☕

💡 It can take a few weeks to feel the full benefit, so patience is key.

🧠 Think of it as your thyroid thermostat reset.

🔍 Myth: “Furosemide is just for losing weight.”

> ❌ Myth: “Water tablets like Furosemide are an easy way to lose weight.”

✅ Truth: Furosemide isn’t a weight-loss medicine — it only removes excess fluid, not body fat.

💧 It’s prescribed for specific conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, or fluid retention, to ease strain on your heart and lungs.

⚠️ Using it without medical advice can lead to dehydration, low blood pressure, and dangerous electrolyte imbalances.

💡 Furosemide helps balance your system — it’s not for the scales.

💊 Furosemide – The Water Works Manager

> 💧 Feeling puffy ankles or breathless due to fluid build-up?

💊 Furosemide helps your body get rid of extra water and salt by making you p*e more — easing swelling and helping your heart and lungs do their job properly.

🚽 That means more toilet trips (especially in the morning!), so best to take it early in the day.

⚠️ It can sometimes lower your potassium, so your doctor may check your bloods or prescribe supplements.

💡 Think of it as your body’s plumber — flushing out the extra water when your system’s a bit flooded.

🔍 Myth: “Co-codamol is safe to take every day long-term.”

> ❌ Myth: “It’s fine to keep taking Co-codamol daily for my pain.”

✅ Truth: Co-codamol is designed for short-term pain relief only.

🚨 Risks of long-term use:

Dependence (your body relying on it).

Constipation 🚽

Drowsiness 😴

💡 If you need painkillers for longer than a few days, speak to your GP or pharmacist. There may be safer, longer-term options for your pain management.

💊 Co-codamol – The Pain Relief Duo

> 🦸‍♂️ Meet the Dynamic Duo of pain relief:

Paracetamol = cools down fever & eases general aches.

Codeine = a stronger helper for tougher pain.

🤔 But here’s the catch:

Codeine can cause constipation 🚽

It can also make you drowsy 😴

And most importantly: it’s not for long-term use (risk of dependence).

✅ Always follow the dosing instructions and don’t double up with other paracetamol-containing meds.

💡 Think of Co-codamol as your short-term sidekick for pain — not a forever hero.

🔍 Myth: “Lansoprazole is safe to take forever.”

> ❌ Myth: “If my heartburn is gone, I can just stay on Lansoprazole forever.”

✅ Truth: Lansoprazole is great for short-term relief and healing — but long-term use can have side effects like low magnesium, vitamin B12 deficiency, or even weaker bones.

👩‍⚕️ That’s why your GP or pharmacist will regularly review your treatment. Sometimes lifestyle changes (like smaller meals, less caffeine, and weight management) can help reduce the need for long-term tablets.

💡 Think of Lansoprazole as a helpful tool — not a forever solution without supervision.
