April 2023 Health Highlights: What You Need to Know
Welcome to the April 2023 archive from AssuredPharmacy UK! This month, we focused on some intriguing health topics that might interest you, whether you’re managing a condition or just looking out for your well-being.
Could Atomoxetine Be a New Player in Chronic Pain?
Did you know that Atomoxetine, a drug mostly used to treat ADHD, is showing promise for chronic pain relief? It works by boosting norepinephrine levels, which helps regulate pain. While it isn’t a mainstream painkiller yet, this point really caught our attention as a potential breakthrough. If you or someone you care about struggles with chronic pain, keeping an eye on this research could be worthwhile.
Breaking the Silence on Pulmonary Tuberculosis Stigma
Stigma around diseases like pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can be just as tough as the illness itself. Many avoid seeking help due to fear of judgment, making early diagnosis tricky. This month, we emphasized raising awareness to change how people see TB. Talking openly about it helps break down harmful misconceptions and supports those affected. If someone you know faces this, offering a non-judgmental ear can go a long way.
We also covered some important side effects tied to common medications. For instance, Bupropion, an antidepressant, has been linked with rare cases of memory troubles. It’s not something to panic about, but if you notice memory slipping while on Bupropion, checking in with a doctor is a smart step.
Lastly, if you’re caring for mature skin, azelaic acid could be your new best friend. It helps with age spots and skin texture without being harsh—soaring in popularity among those keen on gentle yet effective skincare. Our picks like The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid Suspension and Paula's Choice Booster have shown great results.
