💊 Medication Monday 💊
Today’s spotlight is on Metformin — a true oldie but goldie in diabetes care! ✨

Metformin has been helping people manage Type 2 Diabetes for decades — and for good reason:
✅ Lowers blood sugar by improving insulin sensitivity
✅ Helps your body use sugar more effectively
✅ May even support weight management in some patients

💡 Pharmacist Tip:
Take Metformin with food to reduce stomach upset, and remember — long-term use can lower vitamin B12 levels. Ask your pharmacist if a B12 supplement or lab check might be right for you.

Old, reliable, and still going strong 💪 — that’s Metformin for you!

💙 Big News for Women’s Health! 💙

The FDA has officially removed the “Black Box” warning from many hormone therapy products used for menopause — and that’s a big deal!

🔍 What is a Black Box Warning?
It’s the FDA’s strongest warning label, meant to alert patients to serious risks. For years, this label on hormone therapy caused concern for many women considering treatment for menopausal symptoms.

✨ What This Change Means
The FDA now recognizes that for many women — especially those closer to the start of menopause — hormone therapy can be safe and effective when used appropriately. The change reflects updated research showing that the risks are lower than once believed for many women.

👩‍⚕️ What to Do Next
If you’ve been curious about hormone therapy but hesitant because of past warnings, now’s the perfect time to talk about it.
✅ Ask your pharmacist at Barney’s Pharmacy for help understanding how this update may affect your options and whether hormone therapy could be right for you.

We’re here to guide you through your health decisions — with clarity, care, and expertise. 💙

💊 Medication Monday 💊
Let’s talk about Ozempic® (semaglutide) — a once-weekly injectable medication used to help manage Type 2 Diabetes and improve blood sugar levels.

🌿 It works by:
✅ Helping your body release insulin when blood sugar is high
✅ Slowing digestion to help you feel fuller longer
✅ Supporting healthy blood sugar control between meals

💡 Pharmacist Tip:
Take Ozempic on the same day each week, with or without food. Store it in the fridge before opening, and at room temp (up to 56 days) after starting.

Have questions about how to use your Ozempic pen or side effects like nausea? Our pharmacists are here to help! 💙
