If you’ve been prescribed long-term prednisolone, the timing of your dose is very important.

✅ For most conditions, it’s best taken in the morning, aligning with your body’s natural cortisol rhythm.

⚠️ However, in certain conditions:

Rheumatoid arthritis – taking modified release prednisolone in the evening may help reduce morning stiffness.

Asthma – evening dosing may help those who experience nighttime symptoms.

Timing can make a big difference in how well the medicine works and in reducing side effects.

How to use cefuroxime axetil oral for infections.

Cefuroxime is an antibiotic that can be used to treat many types of bacterial infections such as Strep throat, Tonsil infections, Ear infections, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Gonorrhea.

1. Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (every 12 hours). Take cefuroxime with food to increase absorption and reduce stomach upset.

2. Don't crush or chew the tablet because it has a strong, bitter taste when crushed. If you're unable to swallow the tablet whole, ask your provider if another antibiotic is better for you.

3. Take cefuroxime with food to increase absorption and reduce stomach upset. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

4. Cefuroxime can cause diarrhea, but it should go away when you stop taking the medication. If you start having watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, fatigue, or stomach cramps anytime during treatment or after stopping cefuroxime, call your provider right away.

5. Let your provider and pharmacist know about all the medications you're taking or plan to take before and during treatment with cefuroxime. Certain medications like antacids or other heartburn medications can affect how well cefuroxime gets absorbed into your body.

6. Discuss with your provider before taking it if you are pregnant.

7. Shake the suspension well before use. Store the suspension in a refrigerator. Do not freeze. Discard any unused medication after 10 days. Keep all medications away from children and pets

Spironolactone (Aldactone) is a type of potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill). It's used to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, and swelling from kidney or liver problems in adults.

Important tips on the use of Aldactone

1. The spironolactone (Aldactone) tablets and spironolactone (CaroSpir) oral suspension aren't the same and can't be substituted for each other. When you pick up your prescription at the pharmacy, double check that you've received the correct form of spironolactone, as prescribed by your doctor.

2. Spironolactone (Aldactone) can be taken with or without food. In case you want to take it with food or not, keep it consistent, so that the level of this medication stays steady in your body.

3. If you're taking the spironolactone (CaroSpir) oral suspension, store the medication at room temperature, and shake the bottle well before use.

4. Spironolactone (Aldactone) can make you urinate more often. Try to take the medication in the morning or afternoon to avoid the need to get up at night to use the restroom.

5. If any side effects of spironolactone (Aldactone) (e.g., leg cramps, diarrhea, breast growth in males) become severe or bothersome, please let your healthcare provider know. Together, you and your provider can decide if continuing spironolactone (Aldactone) is the best option to treat your condition.

6. Avoid using potassium supplements or salt substitutes that contain potassium while taking spironolactone (Aldactone), unless your healthcare provider or dietitian tells you to do so. This can cause high levels of potassium in your blood, which can cause heart problems.

7. If you found this product tips useful, kindly share.

Lowering blood pressure in an intensive way reduces the risk of dementia.

In addition to medication as appropriate, reducing salt intake, staying physically active, lowering weight, and managing stress can all blunt the risk for dementia.

Doing so would also reduce risks for heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease.

People who want to prevent or manage hypertension should not drink alcohol at all.

Possible physical causes of not enjoying s*x.

If you don't feel anything when making love to your boyfriend, it is very important that you pay attention to this situation and identify the exact cause of the problem, since from it the solution or treatment for each case must be established.

Hormonal changes: levels of s*xual desire can be decreased by hormonal changes that occur in stages such as pregnancy or menopause.

Underlying diseases: suffering from illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders or other chronic conditions can cause s*xual problems.

Taking medicines: taking medications like antidepressants, antihistamines, antihypertensives or chemotherapy treatments can also reduce levels of s*xual desire, affect natural vaginal lubrication and even prevent you from reaching or**sm in intimate relationships.

Sexual dysfunctions: some s*xual problems, such as dyspareunia (pain during in*******se), vaginismus or anor**smia can be the cause of not feeling pleasure when making love and lack of s*xual appetite.

We are united in grief ❤️, finding comfort in each other as we mourn together.

Topical corticosteroids must be spread thinly on affected skin to minimize the risk of side effects while still delivering effective treatment.

☑️These drugs are potent and designed to reduce inflammation, itching, and other symptoms of skin conditions, but excessive or prolonged use — especially when applied thickly — can lead to skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, increased susceptibility to infection, and systemic absorption, which may affect other parts of the body.

☑️Applying a thin layer ensures that the drug is used efficiently, targeting only the necessary area without overexposure. This approach helps maintain the skin’s integrity and prevents complications from overuse

Retinoids are the ONLY 'miracle' skincare ingredient.

They treat acne, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines/ wrinkles, and even have anti-cancer effect. But most people use them wrong, end up with irritated skin, and stop. Here's the RIGHT way to use them in your routine... 👇 1

1. START LOW: topical retinoids are available in both over the counter and prescription strengths. Here's the order of strength:(keep the strengths in mind)

OTC: retinol < retinal/retinaldehyde < adapalene 0.1%
Prescription: tretinoin 0.025% < tretinoin 0.05% < tretinoin 0.1% < tazarotene 0.1%

Start with lower strength and OTC options first. If you go straight to high concentration tretinoin or tazarotene, you'll wake up the next day with intense burning/peeling of your skin. And this leads me to the next point...

2. TINY AMOUNTS: use only a 'pea-sized amount' of the topical retinoid for your ENTIRE face. That's going to feel like nothing, and you're going to want to do more, but DON'T ❌.
Use 'microdots' from this pea sized amount across different areas, and then blend.

3. MOISTURIZE: even with tiny amounts, retinoids can still cause skin irritation for the first few weeks until your skin adapts to them. So moisturizing extra is the key to getting through this early period. You can apply moisturizer before, after, or even mixed with retinoid.

4. VASELINE: the corners next to your nose and your under-eyes are especially prone to retinoid irritation, so in these specific areas applying a small layer of vaseline BEFORE retinoid application can help to minimize their side effects there.

5. EVERY OTHER NIGHT: the ultimate goal with topical retinoids is to use them every night. However, when you're starting out, it's a good idea to do every other night while your skin is adjusting to the new ingredient. This is fine! The key thing is getting into the routine.

Bonus: 1. Retinoids are temperamental ingredients (need the right pH to work), so DON'T use other actives alongside them at night e.g. vit C, benzoyl peroxide.
2. Do not use retinoids if you are PREGNANT
