June 2023 Archive — Medication and Health Guides
June 2023 on Canada Pharmacy 365 brought clear, practical posts about medicines, infections, cancer screening, and supplements. If you want quick answers on specific drugs or easy steps to improve health habits, these six posts give straight answers without the fluff. Below I group the highlights so you can pick what matters most to you.
Antivirals and fungal treatments
Ledipasvir showed up as a focused FAQ — how it works, what side effects to expect, and common drug interactions when combined with sofosbuvir. The post gives everyday language explanations that help you know when to talk to your doctor, what labs to expect, and which medicines to avoid. If you or someone you care for is on hepatitis C therapy, this piece clarifies the basics fast.
Atazanavir was covered with a women’s health angle. The post talks about how treatment choices and side effects can differ for women and why clinicians should consider gender-specific issues when prescribing antiretrovirals. Practical tips include monitoring for common side effects and discussing contraception and pregnancy plans with your provider.
For fungal problems, the ketoconazole article explains when topical vs. oral forms are used, common conditions it treats, and safety points to watch for. The post stresses consulting a clinician before starting oral ketoconazole because of possible interactions and liver-related risks, while noting that creams and shampoos are useful for many skin and scalp infections.
Screening, skin health, and supplements
The blood cancer post focuses on early detection and prevention strategies you can actually use: know the warning signs, keep routine checkups, and discuss targeted screening if you have risk factors. It lays out simple lifestyle and monitoring steps that help catch problems sooner, plus what symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention.
Skincare fans get a straight take on Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) as dietary supplements and topical helpers for texture and glow. The article separates realistic benefits from hype, suggests safe usage, and highlights when to avoid AHAs — for example, if you’re on certain acne medications or have very sensitive skin.
Finally, Yellow Lupin is presented as a nutrient-dense supplement worth trying for extra protein and fiber, especially for those avoiding gluten. The post gives practical ways to add it to meals, what results you might expect, and who should skip it due to allergies or specific diet plans.
