🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! 🚨🚨🚨

💊 Diazepam (Va**um) — a drug meant to calm anxiety, control seizures, and help sleep — is being dangerously misused in our communities 😔

❌ Some people take it without prescription just to “feel high” or to “sleep better,” not realizing that…
⚠️ It can cause addiction, memory loss, confusion, breathing problems, and even death when mixed with alcohol or other drugs.

💥 What starts as relaxation can end in dependency!
Your brain becomes used to it — and before you know it, you can’t function without another pill. 💭💔

👩🏽‍⚕️ Please, if you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or sleep — talk to a healthcare professional. There are safer and better ways to heal. 💚

📣 Let’s raise awareness and protect our youth!
Say NO to misuse. Say YES to responsible health choices. 🙌🏾

😮‍💨 Millions of people live with asthma and yet, many of them don’t know it. It is one of the most common conditions among children. Unfortunately, it is also unknown, underdiagnosed and undertreated.

🫁 Asthma is a chronic condition and affects the airways in our lungs. People who have asthma have particularly sensitive airways and they can become narrowed from time to time.

When the airways become narrow, symptoms start:

❤️‍🩹Cough
❤️‍🩹Difficulty breathing
❤️‍🩹Wheezing

The symptoms are not there all the time, they come and go, but are often worse at night or during exercise.

Asthma can be triggered by many different things, for example:

🔹 Cigarette smoke
🔹 Air pollution
🔹 Dust
🔹 Animal fur
🔹 Respiratory infections
🔹 Grass pollen

Even though there is no cure for asthma, for children, the condition often gets better as they get older. It’s important to try to avoid the triggers, but it’s not always possible.

👩🏾‍⚕️ If you or your loved ones are experiencing symptoms, make sure to see your healthcare professional. They can make the diagnosis, prescribe treatment and provide you with an action plan to manage the condition successfully.
