“Dok, pwede ba itigil ko na lang maintenance ko kasi baka masira ang kidneys ko kakainom ko ng gamot”

Kadalasan ganito ang scenario ng mga adult patients ko sa clinic, ayaw na nila magmaintenance e highblood at mataas pa man din ang sugar sa dugo.

Kaya ang lagi ko naman sagot sakanila:
Hindi pwede itigil‼️

Kaya nga maintenance kasi for life mo na siya iinumin, from the word maintenance e para ma-maintain ang level ng blood pressure at sugar sa katawan ng may Highblood/Hypertension at Diabetes.

Ang target na Blood pressure ay below 120mmhg (Systolic) at below 90mmhg (Diastolic) at Target Sugar naman ay 80-130mg/dl.

Kung lagi mataas ang BP at Sugar mas masisira ang organs (kidney,puso,brain)- pwede magka komplikasyon pa kapag hindi nakokontrol ang taas ng blood pressure at asukal sa katawan.

Hindi nakakasira ng kidneys ang paginom ng mga maintenance na gamot, mas nakakasira kapag hindi tayo uminom ng gamot para macontrol eto.

Ang dapat gawin!
1.Magtake ng maintenance na gamot
2.Imonitor ang BP at sugar sa bahay
3.Pwede naman iadjust ang gamot depende sa result pero dapat hindi eto ititigil
4. Lagi magfollow up sa doktor
5. Lifestyle modification

💸 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.

Medicines are not normal commodities ‼️‼️

💭 As a Pharmacist, here’s what I feel:
The intention to improve healthcare access and support livelihoods is admirable.
But placing OTC medicines in sari-sari stores without proper pharmaceutical oversight is RISKY. ⚠️

➡️ Medicines aren’t like candies or canned goods.
They may be “over-the-counter,” but they still need proper storage, explanation, and caution when dispensed.

➡️ Who ensures proper usage?
Without trained professionals, people might:
💊 Self-medicate without understanding side effect
🚫 Misuse meds (e.g. loperamide, antibiotics if eventually allowed)
⏳ Delay proper treatment dahil feeling “okay na”
📚 We studied for years not just to dispense, but to educate.

Putting meds in places where health literacy isn’t ensured can lead to more HARM than HELP.

We're not here to limit access. We're here to protect lives.
OTC or not, medicines deserve respect. 💊🤍

Reminder to all 🥺

Antibiotics are powerful medications, but they only fight bacterial infections—not viruses like colds and flu. Taking them when they aren’t needed can lead to resistance and other health risks.

𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚. 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐩. 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚.
Sa bawat kulay ng bahaghari ay sumasalamin ang pagkakaiba-iba ng kasarian, pagkakakilanlan, at karanasan ng bawat isa. Ang mga ito ay hindi hadlang para sa pagtanggap at paggalang — sa halip, ito ang nagbibigay saysay sa pagkakaisa nating lahat bilang tao.

Ngayong Pride Month, kinikilala natin ang mahalagang papel ng LGBTQIA+ community sa pagpapanday ng isang mas makatao, mapagmahal, at inklusibong lipunan. Tinatanggihan natin ang diskriminasyon, at niyayakap natin ang pagkakapantay-pantay.

Patuloy tayong maghabi ng mundong ligtas at bukas para sa lahat — isang mundong walang lugar para sa takot, kundi para sa pagmamahal, pag-unawa, at pagtanggap. 🏳️‍🌈
