May 2023 Archive — What we published and why it matters

This month on RXMedicin we focused on practical health tools you can use today: natural supplements worth trying, drug safety notes to discuss with your doctor, and simple lifestyle tips to feel better. If you want a quick roadmap to what was posted in May 2023, this page sorts the highlights and gives one clear action for each topic.

Supplements and herbs worth a look

Curious about natural options? We covered a mix of herbs and supplements with specific uses and what people reported after trying them. Horsemint came up as a versatile herb for digestion, mild respiratory relief, and a subtle focus boost — try adding a teaspoon to tea blends or a few drops of essential oil to a diffuser and watch how your body reacts over a week. Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (FWGE) made the list for immune support and energy; if you pick a product, look for clear dosing on the label and discuss it with your clinician, especially if you have cancer or take immune treatments.

Policosanol and Mezereon were presented as supplements targeting heart health and general wellness. Policosanol may help cholesterol and circulation; monitor lipids if you start it. Mezereon users reported more energy and improved digestion—start with the lowest suggested dose and track changes for two weeks. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) were recommended as a prebiotic to help gut bacteria: find FOS in garlic, onions, bananas, or as a supplement to help digestion and reduce bloating over time. Danshen was highlighted for circulation and inflammation support; ask your provider if you’re on blood thinners before trying it.

Medications, safety notes, and practical tips

We also covered real-world drug issues people ask about. Several posts warn that some heart and blood pressure meds can affect mood: atenolol and enalapril were discussed as drugs that may cause or worsen depression in some people. If you notice mood changes after a medication change, call your prescriber—don’t stop the drug on your own. Lansoprazole and other proton pump inhibitors can reduce absorption of B12, magnesium, calcium, and iron; consider testing levels if you’re on long-term therapy and look at timing supplements or diet to compensate.

On the practical side, we explained different forms of desloratadine (tablets, syrup, dissolvable) so you can pick the easiest option for kids or fast relief. For everyday wellness, posts on bloating stressed the role of a balanced gut microbiome, and a yoga piece showed specific poses like legs-up-the-wall and bridge pose to ease fluid retention.

Finally, we summarized treatment options for rarer conditions like rhabdomyosarcoma: chemo, radiation, and surgery remain the main approaches and are chosen case by case by specialists.

If one post catches your eye, read it, note one practical change, and try that for two weeks. Want me to list the posts by title and link? Say the word and I’ll pull a quick reading order based on what you want—supplements first, drug safety first, or quick fixes only.

Can atenolol cause or worsen depression? What you need to know

As a blogger, I recently researched the potential link between atenolol and depression. Atenolol is a beta-blocker commonly prescribed for high blood pressure and heart issues, but it's important to know that it can sometimes cause or worsen depression in certain individuals. It's unclear why this occurs, but some experts believe it may be due to the drug's effect on brain chemicals. If you're taking atenolol and are experiencing symptoms of depression, it's crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They may suggest an alternative medication or provide additional support to help manage your mental health.

Lansoprazole and its impact on vitamin and mineral absorption

As a blogger, I recently came across some interesting information about Lansoprazole and its impact on vitamin and mineral absorption. Lansoprazole, a widely used proton pump inhibitor, can actually interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients like vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, and iron. This occurs because the drug reduces stomach acid, which is needed for proper nutrient absorption. In the long run, this may lead to deficiencies and related health problems if not addressed properly. It's crucial for those taking Lansoprazole to monitor their nutrient levels and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure optimal health.

Bloating after a meal: the importance of a balanced gut microbiome

I recently explored the topic of bloating after a meal, and discovered that a balanced gut microbiome plays a crucial role in preventing this uncomfortable sensation. It turns out that the right balance of good and bad bacteria in our gut helps break down food efficiently and reduces gas production. Not only does a healthy gut microbiome aid in digestion, but it also supports our overall well-being. Incorporating probiotics and prebiotics in our diet can help maintain this delicate balance. So, the next time you feel bloated after a meal, remember to consider the importance of a balanced gut microbiome for better digestion and health.
