Ayon sa Philippine Society of Nephrology (2020), kung hindi maiiwasan ang lumusong sa baha, kailangang uminom ng doxycycline upang makaiwas sa leptospirosis na maaaring makuha sa kontaminadong tubig.

Mainam na sumangguni sa pinakamalapit na health center upang mabigyan ng gabay hinggil sa dose at tagal ng pag-inom. Para sa mga estudyante ng UP Manila, pumunta lamang sa PGH Ambu Emergency Room para sa libreng doxycycline prophylaxis. Dalhin lamang ang inyong UP Manila ID upang matanggap ang reseta.

💸 WHY ARE BRANDED MEDICINES MORE EXPENSIVE?

🧪 Research & Development
They spend billions on research, trials, and testing.

📜 Patents
Brands have exclusive rights for years, so no one can copy them yet.

🎯 Marketing
They spend a lot on ads and promotion.

💊 WHY ARE GENERICS CHEAPER?

✅ Same Formula, Less Cost
They just copy the proven drug.

🧪 No More Trials Needed
They don’t redo the expensive studies.

🙅‍♂️ No Ads
Less marketing = lower price.

I went to a sari-sari store the other day and saw contraceptive pills like Lady and Trust being sold right next to mosquito coil and diapers.

At first glance, it might seem convenient — but as a health professional, I couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

Contraceptive pills are NOT candy ‼️ They’re not “safe for all” just because they’re available over the counter in some tindahans. These are hormonal medications that affect your entire body — and they are NOT meant to be taken without proper medical guidance and a prescription.

Here’s why self-medicating with birth control pills can be dangerous:

1. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚.
Iba-iba ang pills. Merong progestin-only, meron namang combined estrogen-progestin.
Kung mali ang mapili mo (lalo na kung may health condition ka na ‘di mo pa alam), puwedeng magka breakthrough bleeding, hindi umepekto ang pills, o magka serious side effects.

⸻

2. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔.
Nag-aadjust ang katawan mo sa estrogen at progesterone sa pills — kaya puwedeng tumaas ang risk ng stroke, blood clot, migraine, o high blood pressure, lalo na kung ikaw ay over 35 o naninigarilyo.

⸻

3. 𝑵𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 = 𝒏𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒕.
Hindi ito gaya ng vitamins.
Kailangan muna ng screening ng doktor or pharmacist — titingnan kung mataas ang BP mo, kung may history ka ng sakit, or kung bagay ba sa iyo yung formulation. Sa sari-sari store? Wala niyan. Walang counseling, walang assessment.

⸻

4. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉.
Hindi lang katawan ang naaapektuhan — pati emosyon at isip.
According to recent studies, may ilang babae na nagka-anxiety, mood swings, o kahit depression matapos magsimula ng pills.

⸻

5. 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 = 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.
Kung mali ang araw ng pagsimula o kung nakakalimot kang uminom, puwedeng bumaba ang effectiveness ng pill — at magresulta sa hormonal imbalance o unplanned pregnancy.

⸻

6. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙬.
Under RA 10918 (Philippine Pharmacy Act), bawal magbenta ng pills sa hindi lisensyadong lugar gaya ng sari-sari store.
Dapat sa FDA-licensed pharmacy lang, at may reseta ng doktor at proper counseling ng pharmacist.

✅ What should you do instead?

✔️ Consult a doctor before starting any contraceptive.
✔️ Buy from licensed pharmacies only.
✔️ Ask a pharmacist to explain how and when to take it properly.
✔️ Be informed. Your health is too important to leave to chance.

𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥.
Birth control isn’t candy. It’s a tool that needs to be handled wisely — with screening, counseling, and monitoring, not impulse-buying.

So no, hindi porket nabibili sa tindahan, safe na. Binalaan na kita 😉

Your general health matters, and so does your right to be informed. Let’s protect both. 🧠✨

"Ang Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) ay isang kondisyong maaaring makontrol at magamot sa tulong ng sapat na kaalaman, maagang pag-alam, at suporta mula sa komunidad at mga serbisyong pangkalusugan.

Mahalagang maunawaan kung paano ito naipapasa at kung paano ito maiiwasan.

💪 Hindi ka nag-iisa—may mga programang handang umalalay
🧡 Ang pagiging responsable sa sariling kalusugan ay isang anyo ng pagmamalasakit sa kapwa

Gingerbon is a ginger chewy candy, often with a honey-lemon flavor, used to soothe the throat, relieve vocal chord stress, and potentially ease nausea or morning sickness. You typically chew one candy as needed, whether you have a sore throat, itchy throat, or need to relax your voice.

✅ Keep in a cool, dry place:
Gingerbon should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and freshness.

✅Chew slowly:
Allow the candy to dissolve slowly in your mouth to maximize its soothing effects.

✅Consider other remedies:
If you have persistent throat pain or other symptoms, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
