Medication Safety 101: Here’s What NOT to Mix 💊 Certain foods and drinks can alter how your medications work or cause unwanted side effects. Grapefruit, alcohol, vitamin K-rich foods, and more can interact with common meds like statins, blood thinners, and antibiotics. Always check with your pharmacist or doctor before mixing meds with anything new. Your safety should always come first.

How well do you know common kids’ medications? 💊 Acetaminophen is a go-to for pain and fever relief when dosed correctly. Ibuprofen is another safe option, often used for similar symptoms. Diphenhydramine helps with allergies and sometimes sleep, but should be used cautiously in little ones. Aspirin, however, isn’t recommended for children under 12 because it can cause a rare but serious condition called Reye’s syndrome. Did you guess correctly? ✅ The answer is Aspirin. As always, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before giving any medication to children.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, so let’s address a common myth. Think you’re safe from sunburn in the shade? Not quite… 🚫 Myth: You can’t get a sunburn in the shade. ✅ Truth: UV rays can reflect off water, sand, pavement, and even grass. Shade helps, but it doesn’t block all exposure. To keep yourself safe from harmful rays, follow proper sun safety: wear SPF 30+, use hats and sunglasses, stay hydrated, and reapply sunscreen every two hours. Even in the shade, your skin still needs backup. ☀️
