Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps manage pain and relieve symptoms of arthritis such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain especially in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although it doesn’t cure arthritis, it helps improve quality of life by reducing discomfort.

This medicine belongs to the oxicam group, a type of enolic acid that is structurally different from most other NSAIDs. It works by blocking the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, natural substances that cause pain and inflammation in the body.

By lowering prostaglandin levels, piroxicam provides:
✅Anti-inflammatory effects
✅Pain relief
✅Fever reduction

Approved in the U.S. since 1982, piroxicam remains widely used and is generally well tolerated. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.

Trivia Tuesday! 💓💊

Verapamil HCl is a prescription medication classified as a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation. It works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and decreasing the heart’s demand for oxygen.

Verapamil acts by blocking calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel cells, particularly by targeting L-type calcium channels. This lowers blood pressure, slows electrical conduction in the heart, and reduces the force of heart muscle contraction. These combined effects help manage arrhythmias and reduce episodes of chest pain caused by restricted blood flow.

Common side effects include constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea, and low blood pressure. More serious effects, such as slow heart rate or heart block, may occur in some patients. Important reminders: Do not stop taking Verapamil suddenly, especially if prescribed for heart rhythm conditions. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice while on this medication, and always inform your healthcare provider about other medications or supplements you’re taking, as Verapamil has several drug interactions.

Let’s zoom in on doxycycline, a trusted antibiotic often used to treat infections that spike after floods — like leptospirosis and other waterborne diseases.

🧪 What makes doxycycline powerful? The secret is in its structure.

It belongs to the tetracycline family and has a 4-ring backbone — kind of like a chemical skeleton. This ring system is designed to fit neatly into the bacteria’s protein-making machinery.

Here’s how it works:
🔐 Its ring-shaped core slides right into the 30S subunit of the ribosome — the part of a bacterial cell that builds proteins.
🚫 It blocks the tRNA docking site, stopping the bacteria from making the proteins it needs to grow.
🧲 Special side groups — like the keto–enol system (highlighted yellow) and dimethylamino (highlighted red) — help it stick tightly and selectively to bacterial ribosomes (not human ones!).

💥 The result? Doxycycline shuts down bacterial growth by disrupting protein production — without directly killing the cells, giving your immune system the upper hand.

Canagliflozin is prescribed alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise to help manage type 2 diabetes. It also helps reduce the risk of serious heart issues such as heart attack, stroke, or even death in people with both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The medication works by targeting the kidneys, stopping them from reabsorbing sugar into the blood, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

In addition, canagliflozin is used to slow the progression of kidney damage, reduce the chance of kidney failure, and lower the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure in people with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease, especially those who have a specific level of protein in their urine.

This medicine can only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription. Staying healthy means more than just taking medicine, making time for daily exercise, eating balanced meals, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and attending regular check-ups. Protect your heart, kidneys, and blood sugar by living a healthy lifestyle every day!

Pitavastatin is a lipid-lowering medication belonging to the statin class (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). It is used to lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol), raise HDL (“good” cholesterol), and reduce triglyceride levels. By managing these blood lipids, Pitavastatin helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

Pitavastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol. This enzyme normally converts HMG-CoA into mevalonate, a crucial building block in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. By blocking this step, Pitavastatin decreases the liver’s cholesterol production, which in turn stimulates the liver to increase LDL receptors. These receptors remove more LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, resulting in lower blood cholesterol levels. In addition to lowering LDL, Pitavastatin can also raise HDL and reduce triglycerides. Beyond lipid control, it may offer anti-inflammatory and plaque-stabilizing effects that further protect against cardiovascular disease.

Always take Pitavastatin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Don’t stop or adjust your dose without medical advice. Statins work best when combined with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and routine monitoring of your cholesterol levels. If you experience muscle pain, unusual fatigue, or any side effects, talk to your doctor promptly.

Lansoprazole helps reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It is commonly used to treat conditions like gastric ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) use, erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which the acid in the stomach flows back into the esophagus. As a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it works by lowering the stomach’s acid levels.

This medication can be purchased over the counter or prescribed by a doctor. Most people who take lansoprazole experience no side effects, and if side effects do occur, they are usually mild and go away after stopping the medication.

Common side effects may affect more than 1 in 100 people. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if these symptoms are bothersome or persistent: headache, nausea, diarrhea or vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Desvenlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) prescribed primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Depression is believed to be linked to an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain, particularly serotonin and norepinephrine, which affect mood, motivation, sleep, and overall emotional balance. Desvenlafaxine works by blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of these chemicals, increasing their levels in the brain and helping restore more stable emotional functioning.

Like many medications used to treat depression, Desvenlafaxine may cause side effects, especially when starting the treatment or adjusting the dose. Some commonly reported effects include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, increased sweating, constipation, and elevated blood pressure. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but patients are advised to report any persistent or severe symptoms to their healthcare provider.

As with any antidepressant, Desvenlafaxine should be taken exactly as prescribed. It’s important not to stop the medication abruptly, as doing so may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Regular check-ups with your doctor are recommended to monitor progress, manage side effects, and ensure the medication continues to meet your needs.

Lamotrigine is a medication mainly used to treat epilepsy and prevent seizures. It was approved for use in the United States in 1994 and is considered a first-choice treatment for various types of seizures. Aside from its use in epilepsy, lamotrigine is commonly prescribed to help stabilize mood and prevent depressive episodes in adults with bipolar disorder.

Seizures are caused by sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, and lamotrigine works by slowing down these signals to help prevent them from occurring. Lamotrigine may be used alone or in combination with other medications to manage specific types of seizures. While it is effective in helping control seizures and mood swings, it does not cure epilepsy or bipolar disorder; it only works for as long as you continue taking it.

This medication should always be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not increase the dose, take it more often, or use it for a longer duration than recommended. Lamotrigine may be taken with or without food, but always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how to take it.

Like many medications, lamotrigine can cause side effects, and not everyone will respond the same way to it. For this reason, it’s important to read the Medication Guide provided with your prescription and to consult your doctor if you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms.

Oxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used for the treatment of partial-onset seizures. It works by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels in the brain, which stabilizes overly excited nerve cells and helps prevent seizure activity. In the United States, the FDA has approved oxcarbazepine for use in adults with epilepsy and children 4 years and older who experience partial seizures. Although its main use is for epilepsy, it is also sometimes prescribed off-label for other conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia in patients with multiple sclerosis. Also, it is also an option for bipolar disorder, though these are not yet FDA-approved indications.

Interestingly, oxcarbazepine is structurally similar to carbamazepine, another seizure medication, but it tends to have fewer drug interactions and a lower risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Common side effects of oxcarbazepine include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, confusion, and unsteady movement.
More serious but less common side effects include hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels), severe allergic skin reactions, liver enzyme elevation, and anaphylaxis. Because of these potential effects, patients taking oxcarbazepine should be closely monitored by their healthcare provider and it should be taken only as prescribed.

Trivia Tuesday! 🧐🎉

Valacyclovir is a widely prescribed antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by the herpes virus, such as cold sores, ge***al herpes, shingles, and chickenpox in children. Approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1995 and marketed under the brand name Valtrex, it works by turning into its active form, acyclovir, once inside the body. This active form fights the virus by blocking its ability to produce new DNA, stopping its growth, and disabling key viral enzymes.

Valacyclovir is especially effective against herpes viruses because it targets an enzyme found only in virus-infected cells. While it does not cure these infections, it significantly reduces their severity and duration, helps sores heal faster, prevents new outbreaks, and eases pain and itching.

Like any medication, valacyclovir may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, or dizziness, and to help protect your kidneys while using it, it’s important to drink plenty of water throughout the treatment.
