  • Genetic Code for Diseases Slowly Being Cracked
    For many years, the medical and scientific community have been trying to decode the secret of humanity through the DNA research project. Recently, studies of the human genetic story have been extended towards analysis of diseases or sequences in genetics that make a person predisposed to certain illnesses.
  • Prescription Antidepressant Overdose Killing Canadians
    A prescription antidepressant is supposed to relieve depression and prevent death by suicide, but some reports from Canadian authorities state that overdosing certain types might cause fatal side effects. The antidepressants in question are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), which have been involved in more poison control cases in Canada than any other type of antidepressant.
  • The Possible Doomsday Consequences of Antibiotic Resistance
    For a few years now, medical experts and scientists have been noting how more and more strains of infectious bacteria are developing antibiotic resistance, rendering old ways of dealing with them useless. One or two bacterial agents is not a major problem,but the medical community is worried that the continued use of antibiotics would only lead to more strains becoming resistant.
  • The Limits of Internet Pharmacy Self-Regulation
    The Internet, due to its international nature, has made it difficult for the Internet pharmacy industry to be administrated by any single regulatory body. Questions of jurisdiction come into play frequently, and will continue to do so until the industry comes together to form its own regulatory organization. However, at the moment, most of them are relying on their own self-policing systems, which may or may not be adequate.
  • Antidepressant Might Help Prevent Perfume Overload
    Recent research conducted in Tel Aviv has found a link between depression and the sense of smell, suggesting that men and women who use too much perfume or cologne might be in need of an antidepressant.Depression appears to cause damage to the olfactory nerve, possibly resulting in a complete loss of the ability to smell, though this idea is still new and requires further testing.
  • Can Birth Control Patches Kill You?
    For many years, people have considered the story of a woman dying because of blood clots caused by birth control patches to be a myth.However, recent investigations conducted by doctors,along with anecdotal evidence, suggest that there is more to it than just urban legend.The patches are known to cause non-lethal blood clots,so some consider it possible that it can cause fatal ones as well.
  • Things To Consider When Purchasing Medicines Online
    Ordering things like antidepressants and pain medications online can be an easy process that takes only a few minutes. However,unless a customer is careful in what sites are being ordered from, the convenience could be outweighed by a number of things.The Internet is a place that is nearly impossible to properly regulate, so not every online pharmacy is a legitimate operation.
  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations For Safer Online Medication Buying
    The Food and Drug Administration may not have the authority or the power to regulate themany Internet pharmacies that have appeared, but it does have the power to issue some advice for consumers. There are various ways for people to determine whether or not a pharmacy is legitimate and a safe place to order medicine online. In addition, there are also a few regulatory authorities that aim to self-police the emerging industry.
  • Cross-Checking And Double-Checking Online Drug Purchases
    While there are measures that a consumer can take to make sure that an online pharmacy can be trusted, most people don't bother to check the merchandise once delivered. There are a few steps that can be taken to make sure that the correct medication has been delivered, most of which involve little more than a visual inspection of the drug and whatever paraphernalia it came with.
  • Trouble Recovering After Using Birth Control
    Birth control pills are among the most commonly used pharmaceutical contraceptives out there, though sometimes, a woman will stop taking them because she's finally decided to have children. There is normally no problem with this, aside from the usual three months it takes for the body to get back to the normal ovulation cycle. However, for some women, this does not occur normally and that might be a sign of a serious fertility problem.
  • Birth Control Pills Create Mutant Trout!
    It may seem like an idea right out of some science fiction novel, but the reality is that the high levels of estrogen from birth control pills are causing mutations in fish and frogs. The hormones, coming from the sewage runoff of major cities, is mutating aquatic life near major urban areas across the US. While most people are not worried about this at the moment, experts believe that it is only a matter of time until the high levels of hormones in the water affect humans.
  • Why the Absolute Male Birth Control Is Still Far From Becoming Reality
    There is a certain problem involving getting males to take a more active role in preventing pregnancy, and that is the lack of male birth control options. Aside from the condom and the vasectomy, there are no real and reversible options for men in preventing pregnancy. While recent research has found some leads,the results are still far from consistent enough to warrant advanced testing.
  • The Birth Control Working Process
    Most women who use birth control pills generally have no idea how the pills work, even if the process might have some effects on their health. While side effects of taking birth control pills are not all that widespread, they are a potential problem. Understanding how birth control pills work may help people better evaluate the risks involved in the use of such methods.
  • Considerations When Browsing Internet Pharmacy Sites
    An Internet pharmacy, like any other retailer or business that's based on the Internet, is something that should be observed carefully. It isn't very hard to create a fake website that looks surprisingly like the real thing. Even if a person does find a legitimate site, there may be other things that he failed to factor into his considerations, such as geography.
  • Cheap Generic Drugs Or Expensive Branded Ones?
    In the modern world, there are generally two types of medication that a person has to choose from when sick: the cheap generic drugs, or the expensive branded medications. There are numerous misconceptions and myths about both, usually taking a pro-brand name bias. However, the reality is that one is just as effective as the other.
  • Birth Control Methods do not Always Fight Sexually Transmitted Diseases
    Most people tend to assume that birth control methods can also be used to help prevent an infection by a sexually transmitted disease. However, the reality is that most of these contraceptives cannot fight off STDs and, in one case, may increase the risk of infection. It is important, therefore, that people be better informed about which methods prevent STDs and which are strictly used for birth control.
  • Do Antibiotics and Birth Control Flow?
    For many years now, some people and doctors have reported that antibiotics and birth control medications don't mix very well. While concrete studies on the effects of antibiotics on the effectiveness of birth control are few, most doctors and women prefer to lean on the side of caution and use more than one method of birth control. This is sound advice because no evidence to prove antibiotics don't have an effect on birth control effectiveness has been found.
  • Birth Control Alternatives Without Outside Interference
    Some people would rather not have pharmaceutical contraceptives in their body and may have religious reasons for not wanting to use birth control items such as condoms. For these people, more discipline and timing-oriented methods such as abstinence and Natural Family Planning are the preferred choices.
  • Your Medecines and Your Sexual Health
    Try as one might, any and all forms of medication will always carry the risk of having side effects that affect another aspect of the body. A person's sexual health falls under this area, with two particular forms of medication that can have drastic effects in the sexual arena. These drugs are antidepressants and heart medication.
  • The Potential Hazards of Taking Birth Control Pills
    Birth control pills are among the most relied upon and most used contraceptive options for women available In the market. However, due to the nature of human biochemistry and the unpredictability of how some medications interact with certain physiologies, there are some possible side effects. For the most part, these side effects can be traced to hormonal imbalances caused by the pills.
  • Spiders Could Become An Impotent Man's Best Friend
    Men with sexual health problems might eventually be turning to the venom of the Brazilian wandering spider for help. The venom of this, and a few other spider species, has been known to cause prolonged erections in bitten humans, so some research groups and companies are looking to them as an alternative to Viagra.
  • Know Your Types of Antidepressant
    Most people who have depression are willing to try any medication that gets prescribed to them, without any regard for the type of depressant that is being given. While all of them are designed to have the same effect, they tend to work in different ways from one another and, consequently, have their own list of side effects.
  • Pain Relief Medication And Addiction
    It is no secret that the most potent of pain relief medications available on the market are also narcotic and highly addictive. There are many who are at risk of becoming addicted once exposed to the drug, just as there are many side effects that a person would have to endure if they are ever forced to do without the pain killers.
  • Soldier's Disease: Military, Medicine, And Morphine
    Morphine, a derivative of opium that also serves as the source of heroin, is a potent pain relief drug, and one of the most addictive. It has a colorful history that includes being touted as a “cure” for opium addiction, which is ironic since morphine is a refined form of opium. Even though it is a narcotic substance, it is still being used by doctors as a last resort.
  • Birth Size Could Be Linked to Use of Antidepressant Drugs
    Children who were born smaller than average may end up experiencing things such as depression and anxiety later in life, a British study showed. The problems, in theory, are caused by the same factors that cause fetuses to grow slower in the womb. However, the study has encountered problems because the researchers ignored several variables that could have impacted the outcome.
  • Deathstalker Venom: From Poison To Cure?
    The Israeli Desert Scorpion, also known by the name Deathstalker, is known as the most dangerous and most venomous scorpion in the world. However, recent research has revealed that this particular scorpion's venom has some potential use as pain relief medication for cancer patients, as well as use in treating diabetes and brain tumors.
  • Things To Know Before Taking Muscle Relaxants
    There are some things that a doctor needs to know before prescribing someone any sort of muscle relaxants. These include whatever drugs you are taking or were taking recently, details related to pregnancy, and allergies.These are to avoid any potential side effects that may occur, or to minimize the damage they can do.
  • The Perils of Surgical Mishaps
    The chances of a doctor operating or performing surgery on the wrong part of the brain is actually much larger than most people would believe. This sort of surgical mishap happens to hundreds every year and, even with multiple steps taken to prevent it, can still happen to anyone.
  • Night Work Could Be the Death of You
    Science has recently begun the process of correcting itself by acknowledging that there is a possible link between cancer and graveyard shift work. While there is still no concrete evidence, studies are already being planned to determine more concretely if there is a link. For the time being, however, there is ample statistical data to make the stress produced by night shift work a strong risk factor for cancer.
  • Cholesterol Pill May Do More Damage Than Cholesterol
    With cholesterol being such a prominent problem, it is understandable that pills designed to help combat high levels of cholesterol are appearing on the market. However, some of these drugs are easily dissolved by the body and may make it to the brain, where they have a noticeable effect on the quality of sleep.
  • The Medical Idiot's Guide To Zombies
    Zombies, at least the ones in the true, Voodoo-inspired sense, are actually quite real and pose a problem in Haiti. The process of turning someone into a zombie usually involves a formula that includes a quantity of muscle relaxant or anesthetic,though opiates are also good substitutions. The goal is to cause the victim to appear dead long enough to be buried, at which point the witch doctor simply has to dig him out.
