A Simple Guide to Dostinex (Cabergoline) for Hyperprolactinemia
by Carissa Andrews - June 24th, 2019
Your body is a delicate machine and any hormone imbalance can cause a series of unwanted side effects or conditions to occur. The hormone prolactin is needed to regulate sex hormones, menstruation, ovulation, and breastfeeding in women. However, men also produce the hormone in smaller dosages, despite having no known normal function behind it. Prolactin is produced in the pituitary gland and when levels rise to high in the body (known as hyperprolactinemia), it has been linked to a handful of different conditions and diseases. Dostinex is a popular medication used to treat hyperprolactinemia, as well as the other conditions associated to it.

19 Most Prescribed Pediatric Medications and What They Do
by Carissa Andrews - December 17th, 2018
Drugs used in pediatric care can have a long delay from the time the medication is originally approved—to the time trials are completed for use with children. An audit done by Boston’s Children’s Hospital found only one-third of mandatory trials on children’s efficacy and usage were completed in a seven-year timespan after a new drug hits the market. This can often leave a gaping hole in treatment areas—or worse yet, leave a doctor or pharmacist left to guess at whether or not it can safely treat kids.

Worldwide, more than 422 million people are affected by the various types of diabetic disorders—a drastic jump from the 108 million affected in 1980. If the upward trend of its significance isn’t halted soon, the World Health Organization (WHO) believes diabetes will become the seventh leading cause of death by 2030. Those are some scary facts. Especially when you consider an estimated 1.6 million deaths in 2015 were directly caused by diabetes and another 2.2 million were tied to high blood glucose, according to WHO. Despite being around for a long time, the exponential growth of people with the disease has the world on alert.

However, there are still many patients whose symptoms and potential benefits outweigh the problematic risks associated with Domperidone—making it a medication that can still be prescribed—even in the United States. The key is to know how to go about getting the medication in whatever country you live in.

Bizarre Drug Side-Effects You’d Never See Coming
by Carissa - September 22nd, 2014Even if you don’t take any medications yourself, I’m sure you’ve at least seen a commercial on TV for some of the more popular ones on the market right now. Somewhere near the end of the commercial is a list of possible side effects (usually ranging from headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc.). However, there are also many rare side effects that have no other way to describe them other than… bizarre. They’re often so rare that you’ll never hear about them in commercials, but they certainly exist.
Here’s a list of our top 10 rare-but-bizarre side effects:

Driving Under The Influence of Medications – Part 2: The Solutions
by Carissa - May 19th, 2014Recently, we discussed the potential dangers of driving under the influence of medications. While it’s fair to say the potential risks are equally as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol and illegally obtained drugs – there are ways to minimize those hazards. Let’s show you how.
Do you take one (or more) prescription medications?
Driving Under The Influence of Medications – Part 1: The Problems
by Carissa - May 14th, 2014Of the nearly 314 million people in America, nearly 70% (220 million) have taken a prescription medication this month and of those, a whopping 50% (110 million) have taken two or more. With that in mind, it’s a pretty safe bet you are one of the millions who have taken a medically prescribed drug this month. However, if someone asked you whether or not your medication impairs your driving, would you know? Or are you like the majority of us who aren’t sure?
Did you know there are roughly 6 million car accidents each year in America? A study from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found in 2009 that 18% of fatally injured drivers tested positive for at least one illicit, prescription, or over-the-counter drug. That’s 1,080,000 people and likely on the rise.
CAUTION Driving with Medications
by Liubov Edwards - May 13th, 2014
It is always a good idea to check with your pharmacist or doctor if your prescribed medication would affect your driving ability. But at the end of the day it is always the driver who should be responsible for his actions.

Spring Is Here: Time to Replenish Your Medicine Cabinet
by Carissa - March 24th, 2014Most people generally think of spring as the time for cleaning out those overrun closets, or donating unwanted items to goodwill. But let me ask you this; do you clean out your medicine cabinet, too? If you're like most of us, the answer is probably no.
Out With the Old
Throwing out anything expired, discontinued/recalled, or partially used (including any over the counter medicines) is critical to a healthy medicine cabinet. Medicines lose potency when they have gone past their expiration dates and it is recommended you check your medicine cabinet at least twice a year, getting rid of medications past their prime.

10 Tips for Traveling with Prescription Drugs
by Carissa - March 11th, 2014Whether you're planning a short trip or a long one, even the most solid of prescription medication regimens can be thrown into chaos and even to the point of danger by traveling without proper planning. There's a lot to consider and with summer around the corner, we have some insights to mull over before you take off for your next vacation. Depending upon the level of your regimen, you can take advantage of some or all of these tips. Let us know what works for you, or if you have some suggestions of your own to add to the list.
1. Talk to your doctor before your trip. This is a no-brainer. Tell them where you plan to go, how long you will be gone. They can help you plan out how changes in environment and time zones could or will affect your prescription regimen.
2. Keep all drugs and medical equipment, including syringes, needles, catheters, etc., in their original containers. We know it's tempting to schedule your medication in a pill holder before you leave, but according to the Travel and Safety Administration (TSA) you must avoid making your medication hard to identify.
