Drug interaction - warfarin and antibiotics. Warfarin exists as two isomers:
S-warfarin (more potent, metabolized by CYP2C9)
R-warfarin (metabolized by CYP1A2 & CYP3A4)

Several antibiotics inhibit these enzymes, resulting in higher plasma levels of warfarin.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics kill vitamin-K–producing bacteria in the colon. Less vitamin K means less clotting factor production, which further means that warfarin becomes stronger.

NAD⁺ is involved in some of the most fundamental processes our cells rely on — from energy metabolism to cellular maintenance. 🔬

NMN, betaine and trans-resveratrol interact with biochemical systems that support normal metabolic function, methylation activity, and cellular responses.

PrimeSelf’s NAD⁺ Complex brings these three components together in a single formulation, with vegan-friendly capsules, plastic-neutral packaging and high purity ingredients. 💊

Migraines are more than just a headache. They’re a neurological condition that can last hours to days, often with symptoms like a throbbing head, pain (usually one side), nausea & vomiting and sensitivity to light/sound.

Triggers include stress, certain foods (chocolate, caffeine, cheese), hormonal changes and lack of sleep.

Managing triggers with the right therapy means fewer, milder attacks.

Beta-blockers work by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the body.

By blocking β1 receptors in the heart, they slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure, while some non-selective beta-blockers also act on β2 receptors, which can cause bronchoconstriction. A few, such as carvedilol and labetalol, also block α1 receptors, leading to vasodilation.
