MANAGEMENT OF HYPOTENSION (LOW BP)

Hypotension simply means low blood pressure.
What counts as hypotension?
Generally: BP < 90/60 mmHg
It’s more important how the patient feels than the number alone.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

Dizziness or light-headedness
Fainting (syncope)
Blurred vision
Weakness, fatigue
Nausea
Cold, clammy skin (especially in shock)

CAUSES (VERY COMMON ONES)

Dehydration (vomiting, diarrhea, poor intake)

Blood loss (trauma, GI bleed, postpartum)

Medications (antihypertensives, diuretics, nitrates)

Sepsis / severe infection

Heart problems (MI, arrhythmias, heart failure)

Endocrine causes (Addison’s disease)

Orthostatic hypotension (BP drop on standing)

Pregnancy

TYPES

1. Orthostatic (postural) hypotension
↓ ≥20 mmHg systolic or ≥10 mmHg diastolic on standing

2. Shock-related hypotension
Medical emergency 🚨

3. Chronic asymptomatic hypotension
Often normal in young, slim, or athletic people

INITIAL MANAGEMENT (clinical approach)
1. Assess symptoms & consciousness to ascertain if you’re feeling dizzy or faint:

2. Lay patient flat, raise legs

3. Check pulse, BP, urine output

4. Give IV fluids if hypovolemic to Increases blood flow to your heart and brain.

5. Treat the cause (infection, bleeding, drugs)

6. Dehydration is a common cause. Drink 1–2 glasses of water or an electrolyte drink.

7. Eat something salty
Salt helps raise blood pressure. Try salty crackers or a small amount of table salt in water (in moderation).

8. Caffeine (temporarily)
Coffee or tea can boost BP short term. Not for regular use.

DAILY LIFESTYLE REMEDIES

To prevent low BP, take of the following;

🩺 Eat small, frequent meals
Large meals can cause a drop in BP after eating (postprandial hypotension).

🩺 Add more salt to your diet (if approved by your doctor)
Especially if your BP tends to be low consistently.

🩺Stay hydrated
Drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily.

🩺 Avoid alcohol
It lowers blood pressure and dehydrates you.

🩺Compression stockings
Help prevent blood from pooling in your legs.

🩺Stand up slowly
To prevent dizziness from sudden drops in BP (orthostatic hypotension).

WHEN IT’S DANGEROUS
⚠️With altered consciousness
⚠️With chest pain
⚠️With reduced urine output
⚠️In pregnancy, elderly, or trauma

COMMEMORATION OF WORLD CANCER DAY 2026 💜

THEME: “United by Unique” (second year of a 3-year campaign).

FOCUS : Personalized, patient-centered care — adapting treatments to the unique needs of each individual.

Today, we hold space for everyone affected by cancer, whether you’re living with it, supporting someone you love, or remembering someone close to you.

This year’s theme, United by Unique, reminds us that every cancer experience is personal and different. Behind every diagnosis is a human story, which is why care that puts people at the centre leads to better outcomes.

OVERVIEW AND TREATMENT OPTIONS

WHAT IS CANCER
- Cancer is a group of diseases caused by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.
- These cells can form tumors, invade nearby tissues, and spread to other parts of the body (metastasis).
- Benign tumors: Non-cancerous; do not spread.
- Malignant tumors: Cancerous; can invade and metastasize.
- Cancer is named after the organ or cell type where it begins, even if it spreads elsewhere.
- There are over 100 types of cancer.

COMMON TYPES OF CANCER
- Carcinomas: Skin and organ linings.
- Central nervous system cancers: Brain and spinal cord.
- Leukemias: Blood and bone marrow.
- Lymphomas: Immune system.
- Sarcomas: Bone, muscle, fat, and connective tissue.

MOST COMMON CANCERS WORLDWIDE
- Skin, breast & cervical (women), prostate (men), Both -lung, and colorectal.

HOW CANCER DEVELOPS
- Begins when DNA damage (mutations) disrupts normal cell regulation.
- If abnormal cells escape immune destruction, they multiply, form tumors, and may spread.

RISK FACTORS
- Carcinogens: To***co, alcohol, chemicals, ultraviolet and other radiation.
- Infections : Viruses (HPV, hepatitis B/C), bacteria (Helicobacter pylori), parasites.
- Genetics : Family history and inherited mutations.
- Lifestyle factors: Obesity, poor diet, chronic inflammation.
- Environmental/occupational exposures: Asbestos, diesel exhaust, radiation.

CANCER TREATMENT OPTIONS
Treatment depends on cancer type, stage, location, and patient health. Often, therapies are combined.

MAIN TREATMENTS
- Surgery: Removes tumors and nearby tissue/lymph nodes.
- Radiation therapy: High-energy radiation destroys cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs that kill or slow rapidly dividing cells.
- Immunotherapy: Boosts immune system to attack cancer.
- Targeted therapy: Blocks specific cancer cell mechanisms.
- Hormone therapy: Blocks hormones that fuel certain cancers.
- Stem cell transplant: Restores blood-forming cells after intensive therapy.
- Precision medicine: Personalized treatment based on tumor genetics.

MEDICATIONS
Over 250 cancer drugs are available, including:
- Alkylating agents: Damage DNA.
- Antimetabolites: Block DNA synthesis.
- VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors: Limit tumor blood supply.
- Monoclonal antibodies: Target specific cancer markers.
- Hormone and pathway inhibitors: Block growth signals.

COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVES THERAPIES
May be used alongside standard treatment but often lack strong scientific evidence.

SUPPORTIVE CARE
Medications and therapies help manage side effects:
- Pain relief.
- Anti-nausea drugs.
- Infection prevention.
- Fatigue management.

SIDE EFFECTS OF TREATMENTS
Because healthy cells are also affected:
- Increased infection risk.
- Fatigue.
- Hair loss.
- Bleeding or bruising.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
- Cancer is a complex group of diseases with many forms.
- Early detection and individualized treatment improve survival.
- Research in 2026 emphasizes precision medicine, immunotherapy, AI-driven diagnostics, and reducing disparities in care.

You’re not alone. ❤️

DANGERS OF SMOOKING

Smoking doesn’t just affect your breath — it changes how your lungs and other organs function at every level.
Over time, toxins damage airways, reduce oxygen exchange, and weaken the body’s natural defense system.
Understanding the impact is the first step toward protecting your organs and long-term health.
Save this to remind yourself why lung health matters.

🚬 DANGERS OF SMOKING
Smoking harms almost every organ in the body. Here’s how it can affect you (and people around you):

🫁 LUNG DAMAGE
Causes chronic cough, asthma flare-ups, bronchitis, and COPD
Major cause of lung cancer
Makes breathing harder over time

❤️ HEART & BLOOD VESSELS
Raises risk of heart attack and stroke
Increases blood pressure and damages arteries
Can cause poor circulation (cold hands/feet, leg pain)

🧠 BRAIN & MENTAL HEALTH
Higher risk of stroke and memory problems
Ni****ne addiction can worsen anxiety and depression

🦷 MOUTH, TEETH & THROAT
Bad breath, stained teeth, gum disease
Cancers of the mouth, throat, and voice box

🤰 PREGNANCY & FERTILITY
Reduces fertility in men and women
In pregnancy: miscarriage, premature birth, low-birth-weight babies

🧬 CANCER RISK (many types)
Lung, mouth, throat, esophagus
Bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, and more

ANTIMICROBIAL STEWARDSHIP TO COUNTER DRUG RESISTANCE TOWARDS GOOD THERAPEUTIC OUTCOME

❓ Why You Must Finish Your Antibiotics – Even When You Feel Better

One of the most common mistakes patients make is stopping antibiotics as soon as they start feeling better.

While symptoms may improve within a few days, this does not mean the infection has been fully treated.

🦠 HOW ANTIBIOTICS WORK
Antibiotics are prescribed to kill or stop the growth of bacteria causing an infection.
When treatment begins:

The weakest bacteria are killed first
Stronger bacteria may survive longer
Stopping antibiotics too early allows these stronger bacteria to survive and multiply.

DANGERS OF STOPPING ANTIBIOTICS EARLY
🚫Incomplete Treatment

🚫The infection may return, often more severe than before.

🚫Antibiotic Resistance
Surviving bacteria can become resistant, making future infections harder to treat.

🚫Spread of Resistant Bacterial strains
Resistant bacteria can spread to family members and the community.

🚫Increased Healthcare Costs and Hospital Visits

🚫Resistant infections often require stronger, more expensive medicines.

COMMON REASONS PEOPLE STOP EARLY

♟️Symptoms improve quickly

♟️Side effects occur

♟️Forgetfulness or poor understanding

♟️Saving leftover antibiotics “for later use”

♟️These practices reduce the effectiveness of treatment and put others at risk.

✅ HOW TO USE ANTIBIOTICS SAFELY

1.Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed

2. Complete the full course, even if you feel better

3. Do not share antibiotics with others

4. Do not save leftovers for future illnesses

5. Report side effects to a healthcare professional rather than stopping abruptly.

KEY TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

🩺Feeling better is not the same as being fully treated.

🩺Completing your antibiotics protects your health today and helps preserve antibiotic effectiveness for the future.

📌 Always follow your prescriber’s instructions and consult your pharmacist if you have concerns.

DEAR LADIES, DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY DELAY YOUR PERIOD? 🩸

Imagine this:
Your wedding is in a few days…
Or you have a big exam coming…
Or maybe a long-distance trip that just happens to fall right on your menstrual week.

And then you check your calendar — boom. Your period is about to show up exactly when you don’t want it.

LET ME TELL YOU A SHORT STORY.

Last month, Blessing’s wedding date was finally close. Her dream gown was ready, the hall was decorated, everything was perfect… except one thing.
She suddenly realised her wedding day would fall exactly on her period.

She panicked.
‘How will I deal with cramps? What about the discomfort? What if it ruins my big day?’

Then a friend whispered something that changed everything:
“Why not talk to your pharmacist or doctor about delaying your period with Primolut N?”

At first, she didn’t believe it.
Delay period? Is that even possible?

Well… yes, when done correctly and under proper medical guidance.
Blessing got the right dose, started it at the right time, and guess what?
Her wedding day came, she danced beautifully, smiled without stress, and felt absolutely comfortable. After the wedding, her period came normally, just a few days later.

BUT HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART👇

Primolut N (norethisterone) isn’t for everyone. You must use it only when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional, because you need to be checked to know if it’s safe for you and tell you exactly when to start so it works properly.

So ladies, whether it's a wedding, a trip, an exam, or any important event,
you don’t need to panic.
Just make sure you do it the right, safe, medically approved way.

I know some of you are looking for a way to suspend your period forever to escape the discomfort that comes with it😂. Primolut N no be candy oo😂😂. You should only use it when absolutely needed. You can find it in a pharmacy, not a chemist shop.

Did you know about Primolut N before now?

This image shows what fibroids look like inside the womb.
The worst part?
Most women don’t even know they have them!
Uterine fibroids can occur at any time between menarche and menopause but are most common in women 35-49 years of age. They typically resolve after menopause.

COMMON SIGNS? 👇🏽

🔹 Heavy or long menstrual flow
🔹 Bloating or pelvic pain
🔹 Genitourinary dysfunction, which may manifest as the following: increased urinary frequency resulting from bladder compression, and flank pain resulting from ureteral compression and hydronephrosis.
🔹Infertility
🔹Rarely, lower extremity edema, constipation, or intestinal obstruction
🔹 Back pain
🔹 Or feeling like your stomach is “always swollen”

The good news? 🙌🏽

They’re not cancer.

🩺They can be treated through medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes.

Ladies, stop ignoring your body.
That “normal” heavy flow might not be normal.
Go for checkups. Talk to your Physician.

PREGNANCY SLEEPING POSTURE

The best sleeping position during pregnancy is… on your left side 🤰🏽

Why?
Because this position helps your baby get the best flow of oxygen and nutrients.
Sleeping on the left also takes pressure off your heart, kidneys, and major ɓlooɗ vessels helping you breathe better, reduce swelling, and wake up feeling lighter.

👌BENEFITS OF LEFT-SIDE SLEEPING:
• Better blood flow to you and your baby
• Less swelling of your feet and hands
• Reduced back pain
• Helps prevent dizziness and breathlessness
• Makes digestion easier, reducing heartburn

If you roll to the right or back while sleeping, don’t panic , just gently shift back to your left when you wake.

Your comfort matters, but your left side is your pregnancy “VIP” position. 💛

WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION?

Hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition where patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This darkening occurs due to an excess production of melanin, the brown pigment responsible for your skin, hair, and eye color.

Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes. When these cells are damaged or stimulated, they can go into overdrive, creating an over-concentration of melanin in certain areas.

The Main Causes and Triggers

Understanding the trigger is the first step to effective treatment.

1. Sun Exposure (The Cause):
UV radiation from the sun is the primary stimulator of melanin production. It's responsible for sunspots and can worsen all other forms of hyperpigmentation. **Sun protection is non-negotiable.

2. Hormonal Influences (Melasma):
Fluctuations in hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can trigger melanin production. This is common during:
* Pregnancy (often called the "mask of pregnancy")
* Use of birth control pills or HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).

3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):
This occurs after the skin experiences inflammation or injury. As the skin heals, it produces excess melanin, leaving a flat, dark mark behind. Common causes include:
* Acne
* Eczema
* Psoriasis
* Allergic reactions
* Cuts, burns, or abrasions
* Cosmetic procedures (like laser or chemical peels, if not done correctly).

4. Medical Conditions and Medications:
Certain diseases, like Addison's disease, can cause hyperpigmentation.

5. Medications:
Some drugs (like certain chemotherapy drugs, antimalarials, and antibiotics) can list hyperpigmentation as a side effect.

TYPES OF HYPERPIGMENTATION

What it Looks Like | Common Causes & Locations

1. Sun Spots (Solar Lentigines)
Small, flat, darkened patches. Can be tan, brown, or black.

2. Sun exposure
Over time. Typically on sun-exposed areas: face, hands, shoulders, chest, and back of hands.

3. Melasma
Larger symmetrical patches with irregular, map-like borders. Usually tan or brownish.

4. Hormonal changes:
Common on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, and chin.

5. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Flat spots or patches that range from pink to red, brown, or black, matching your skin tone.

6. Inflammation or injury.
Appears exactly where the skin was inflamed (e.g., after a pimple heals).

HOW TO TREAT HYPERPIGMENTATION

Treatment requires patience and consistency, as it can take months to see significant results. A combination approach is often best.

1. The Golden Rule: Daily Sun Protection
This is the most crucial step. Without it, any other treatment is futile.
* Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30 or higher one every single day, in rain or sunshine.
* Reapply your protective or preventive creams every two hours if you are outdoors.
* Wear hats and seek shade.

2. Topical Products (The Workhorses)

🩺Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid):
A powerful antioxidant that protects against UV damage and inhibits the melanin production enzyme (tyrosinase). Use it in the morning before sunscreen.

🩺Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin):
Speed up cell turnover, helping to shed pigmented skin cells faster. They also help to disrupt the transfer of melanin to skin cells. Prescription-strength (Tretinoin) is very effective.

🩺Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):
Helps reduce the transfer of pigment from melanocytes to skin cells. It's anti-inflammatory and works well for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

🩺Azelaic Acid:
Excellent for treating both acne and the PIH that follows. It reduces inflammation and tyrosinase activity.

🩺Kojic Acid & Alpha Arbutin:
Both work by inhibiting tyrosinase. They are often found in serums and creams alongside other brightening ingredients.

🩺Hydroquinone:
A very potent, prescription-only (in many countries) ingredient that lightens the skin by suppressing melanocyte activity. It should only be used under a doctor's supervision for short periods due to potential side effects.

3. Professional Treatments

For stubborn or deep pigmentation, in-office procedures can be highly effective.

🎯Chemical Peels:
Use acids (like glycolic, salicylic, or TCA) to exfoliate the top layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots.

🎯Laser Therapies (IPL, Fractional Lasers):
Targets melanin with specific light wavelengths, breaking up the pigment. The body then naturally removes the fragmented particles.

🎯Microdermabrasion:
A physical exfoliation that sands away the outer layer of skin.

🎯Microneedling:
Creates micro-injuries to stimulate skin remodeling and can be combined with topical serums for better pe*******on.

CRUCIAL:
Always consult a board-certified dermatologist before starting aggressive treatments.
