June 2023 Pharmaceuticals & Supplements Roundup

A few simple habits can cut down doctor visits, help treatments work better, and keep you feeling more confident. This month’s posts focus on preventing common problems, using meds wisely on the road, and choosing supplements that actually help. Here are the practical takeaways from June 2023 on LetsGoPharm.

Stop fungal infections before they start

Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist places. Keep skin dry after showers, choose breathable fabrics, and change sweaty clothes quickly. Use a gentle cleanser and dry thoroughly between toes or skin folds. Adjust your diet to include probiotic foods if you’re prone to recurrent infections—this can support normal skin and gut flora. If an infection appears, topical ketoconazole works for many cases, but see a clinician if it’s spreading, painful, or not improving after a week of treatment.

Quick tip: carry a travel-size antifungal powder if you’re exercising a lot or traveling to humid places—preventing moisture lowers risk more than treating a full infection.

Keep hair treatments on track when you travel

If you use minoxidil and finasteride, stick to the routine while away. Pack travel-approved sizes, label bottles, and consider sealed applicators for planes. A hat or scarf offers a fast confidence boost on days your routine gets disrupted. If you worry about packing liquids, use single-use foam applicators or check airline rules ahead of time so your meds don’t get confiscated.

Also, plan for time changes—set alarms to match your usual dosing schedule so you don’t miss doses that could slow progress.

Managing diabetic gastroparesis means small, steady adjustments. Eat smaller, more frequent meals that are low in fat and low in indigestible fiber. Choose softer textures and liquids that empty faster. Stay hydrated and avoid lying down right after eating. Talk with your doctor about prokinetic options if symptoms are severe; medications can help move food through the stomach faster and reduce nausea.

Chlorthalidone FAQs covered the basics: it’s an effective blood pressure diuretic, but monitor blood pressure and electrolytes, especially potassium. Watch for dizziness when standing, and tell your provider about NSAIDs, lithium, or other prescriptions that can interact. Start at a low dose and adjust based on readings and side effects.

On supplements this month: Stone Root is getting attention for digestion support and traditional uses tied to kidney health. Rhubarb supplements offer antioxidants and fiber that can help digestion and overall wellness. For both, buy from reputable brands, follow dosing guidance, and check with your healthcare provider—especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other meds.
