Taking Calcium Channel Blockers such as NIFEDIPINE together with calcium containing supplements is a DEATH TRAP
Here’s why:

You should not take large amounts of calcium supplements with nifedipine because calcium supplements can decrease the effectiveness of the nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker.

Nifedipine works by blocking calcium from entering muscle cells to help them relax, but taking extra calcium can counteract this effect.
Supplemental calcium can decrease the effect of nifedipine by introducing more calcium into the body, making the drug less effective at relaxing the blood vessels.

This interaction could make your nifedipine less effective at controlling your blood pressure. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent blood pressure checks.

If you are taking nifedipine, talk to your doctor before taking calcium supplements. They can advise you on the appropriate dose and monitor your blood pressure and calcium levels.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?
Long-term use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole has been linked to vitamin B12 deficiency. Here's a brief rundown:

1. PPIs reduce stomach acid, which impairs B12 absorption from food.
2. B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, neurological symptoms, and anemia.
3. Studies suggest increased risk of B12 deficiency with prolonged PPI use (especially over 2 years).

If you're on chronic PPI therapy, consider regular B12 level checks or supplements. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE USING LONG TERM CONTRACEPTIVES LIKE DEPO-Provera

Conception immediately following the cessation of Depo-Provera is unlikely, as the return of fertility may be delayed. While some individuals may rapidly regain their menstrual cycle and ovulation, ovulation typically resumes 10 months or longer after the last injection, due to the time required for the progestin hormone to clear from the system.

Why a Delay Occurs:
Hormone Clearance: Depo-Provera contains synthetic progestin, which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus. This hormone takes time to leave your body after the last injection.
Individual Variability: The time it takes for fertility to return varies from person to person, influenced by factors like weight and metabolism.

If You're Planning a Pregnancy:
-Plan Ahead: Healthcare providers recommend discontinuing Depo-Provera approximately a year prior to attempting conception, or utilizing alternatives such as the use Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs) or condoms, due to the potential delay in fertility.
-Consult a Healthcare Provider: Discussing family planning objectives with a healthcare professional is essential to determine the most suitable approach for your individual needs.

Benzhexol, fondly known as BH5 or Impilishi, is like that one friend who's always getting misused for its feel-good vibes. Officially, it's an anticholinergic medication that's often paired with antipsychotic drugs to prevent extrapyramidal effects, like Parkinson's disease, which can be a nasty side effect of those meds. Here's how it works: Artane blocks acetylcholine, which helps balance out the reduced dopamine levels. But, let's get real, it can still lead to psychological dependence, even if it doesn't cause physical dependence. So, taking it without a prescription is a big no-no, especially if you're planning on mixing it with Bolz, because that's just asking for trouble. Potential side effects of using Artane include cognitive dysfunctions, like confusion and memory impairment, which is just a fancy way of saying you'll be a hot mess.
Avoid it at all cost if not prescribed by a physician

DID YOU KNOW?
The beneficial fatty acids found in avocados 🥑 have been shown to decrease levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Consuming an avocado daily for a week can result in a 17% reduction in LDL cholesterol and a corresponding increase to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which further mitigates the risk of heart disease. 🫀
