🍭 *Overuse or misuse of pain medications* like *Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Piroxicam (Felvin)*.
🍭 *H. pylori infection* – a bacteria that weakens the stomach lining.

That’s it. Simple and true.

Abortion has become the go-to for many who aren’t ready for pregnancy — but nobody talks about the DEATHS.💀🥹😰

In 2025, we’re burying young girls in their 20s and women in their 40s — not because they got pregnant, but because they didn’t know where to turn.

Stay tuned and don't forget to share 🔁 this particular post.
You may just save someone you’ll never meet.

Let’s talk.👇🏽
*"Na silent dae kill pass.*
Leh we talk di trut — na *bad way for pull belɛ* dae kill we uman dem.
No shame for talk. No fear for ask help.
*Tok di tok, save wan life.* 💔🩺"

*"Let’s Start with a Story of Two Lives… One Dream Lost, One Womb Damaged — All Because of Silence."*👇🏾

A 22-year-old girl — She was smart. Full of dreams. But afraid to speak up. She chose silence—and paid with her life and was buried last month.

She went for an abortion in a backstreet clinic.
She died from infection.

Nobody wants to talk about it, but it’s happening daily.
Another woman—married, 42—walked into a “clinic.”

Her crime? She wanted to end a pregnancy she knew she couldn’t keep.

She left a “clinic” with a damaged womb. She’ll never carry a child again.

The procedure was rushed, unsafe, and done by someone without training.

*Abortion isn’t the danger but unsafe abortion is.*_it’s killing women quietly in the shadows.

Why?
•Fear
•Shame
•No access to real information
•Quack clinics everywhere
Here’s the medical truth:

Unsafe abortion can cause:
•Excessive bleeding
•Severe infection (sepsis)
•Womb damage
•Infertility
•And yes—death

Most of these women die slowly, in silence. No one tweets their story.
And the worst part?
Most of these deaths are preventable.

But when the law is silent, healthcare is unreachable, and judgment is loud, women suffer.
Why is this happening in 2025?

Because many:
•Are afraid to ask for help
•Don’t know where to go
•Are ashamed or judged
•Fall into the hands of quacks who use hangers, sticks, or the wrong pills
Some try “herbal” methods...

💊 CLOXACILLIN 500mg — Know Your Antibiotic

Cloxacillin is a powerful penicillinase-resistant antibiotic used to treat skin and soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes.

Why it matters:
➡️ Regular penicillin fails against resistant bacteria
➡️ Cloxacillin works where others don't

How to take it:
✅ Take 30–60 minutes before meals
❌ Avoid food to ensure proper absorption
📌 Food delays gastric emptying and reduces effectiveness

Common uses:
✔️ Cellulitis
✔️ Erysipelas
✔️ Other MSSA-related infections

Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before use.

*🚨 Stop Buying Drugs from the Streets — Your Life Depends on It! 🚨*

Welcome to *FOFANAH SHIFA’A PHARMACY*, where your health and safety come first.

*Street drugs are silent killers.*
They may seem cheap and convenient, but here’s the reality:

⚠️ *Fake or expired* — You’re gambling with your health.
⚠️ *No proper dosage* — One wrong dose can harm or kill.
⚠️ *No professional guidance* — No pharmacist means no safety checks.
⚠️ *Poor storage* — Heat and contamination destroy drug quality.

*Imagine treating a simple headache with a fake drug... and ending up in the hospital. Or worse.*

*Don't risk it.*
✔️ Always buy from a licensed pharmacy.
✔️ Demand professional advice.
✔️ Protect your health. Protect your future.

*Medicine is not just a product — it’s a responsibility.*

*Too Much Salt + Little Exercise = HYPERTENSION*

Imagine your blood vessels are like water pipes.
Now, when you eat too much salt, your body holds onto more water. This extra fluid fills the “pipes,” making them tight and increasing pressure — just like forcing too many people through a small door!

*Then comes the second problem: No Exercise.*
If you don’t move your body, your heart gets weak and your blood vessels lose flexibility — like old rubber bands.

Now imagine stiff pipes + too much fluid = extra stress on your heart.
That’s high blood pressure (hypertension).

*Left unmanaged?*
It can wear out your heart and lead to *Heart Failure*.

✅ Cut back on salt.
✅ Move your body.
✅ Protect your heart.

Why cant mosquitoes transmit HIV/AIDS virus when infected needles can?

People sometimes think that mosquitoes can spread HIV just like an infected needle does, but that’s not how it works.

HIV is a very delicate virus which cannot survive inside a mosquito’s body.

When a mosquito bites you, it doesn’t inject blood from someone else into you, rather, it drinks blood from your body as food; just like you eating food. And it doesn’t spit that blood into the next person it bites.

But how come it can transmit malaria and dengue fever, you may ask?

Well, diseases like malaria or dengue can be spread by mosquitoes because the germs actually infect the mosquito itself and grow inside it…….. Something HIV cannot do.

So, because the mosquito is infected, it can spread the germs through its saliva when it bites someone.

HIV can’t do that. HIV can’t live or grow inside mosquitoes, so they can’t pass it on.

I hope you understand now?

Class dismissed……. And don’t forget to share.

LET'S TALK About SECOND- HAND SMOKE

🚭 The Hidden Danger: How Second-Hand Smoke Affects Your Health — Even If You Don’t Smoke.

When most people think about the dangers of smoking, they often imagine the health risks faced by the smoker. But what many overlook is this chilling truth: you don’t have to light a cigarette to suffer its consequences. Just being near someone who smokes exposes you to a toxic mix of chemicals that can silently harm your body. This is the danger of second-hand smoke.

🌫️ What Exactly Is Second-Hand Smoke?

Second-hand smoke is the combination of smoke that comes:

From the burning end of a cigarette (called sidestream smoke), and

From the smoke exhaled by the smoker (called mainstream smoke).

If you’re nearby when someone lights up, you’re involuntarily inhaling both. That means you’re breathing in hundreds of harmful substances—without ever touching a cigarette yourself.

☠️ What’s In That Smoke?

Second-hand smoke contains over 250 harmful chemicals, and at least 40 of them are proven to cause cancer. Some of the most dangerous include:

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Formaldehyde

Acetaldehyde

Aromatic amines

N-nitrosamines
These toxic substances can cause serious damage to your lungs, heart, liver, immune system, and even your nervous system.
🚨 The Health Risks for Non-Smokers

Just living or working around someone who smokes puts you at risk. In fact, non-smokers who live with smokers have up to a 30% higher chance of developing lung cancer compared to those in smoke-free environments.

Other risks include:
Cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
Pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)
Liver toxicity
Weakened immune response

👶 Why Children Suffer More?

Children are especially vulnerable to second-hand smoke. Their lungs and immune systems are still developing, and their breathing rate is faster—so they inhale more toxic air per pound of body weight than adults.

Children exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely...
