This month’s collection dives deep into why some patients face higher chances of errors, why certain groups are left out of clinical trials, and how simple things like drinking milk can ruin your osteoporosis treatment.

Drug comparison, the process of evaluating similar medications to pick the best fit for an individual. Also known as therapeutic alternatives, it’s the backbone of smart prescribing.

HIV treatment, the ongoing medical care for people living with HIV to suppress the virus and maintain quality of life. Also known as antiretroviral therapy, it’s not one-size-fits-all.

These posts don’t just explain the science—they show you how to make treatment work when your life doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 rhythm. And if you’re wondering why some people struggle with medication adherence, it’s often not about forgetfulness—it’s about access, cost, and whether the system was built for you.
