Debunking Myths: Real Facts About Medications

Not every tip you find online about medications is harmless. Some myths can cost you money, cause side effects, or make a condition worse. This tag collects clear, practical posts that cut through hype and tell you what matters—safety, interactions, and real choices.

Expect short, usable explanations. We cover common concerns like whether certain drugs harm the heart, safe ways to buy medication online, realistic alternatives when a drug causes bad side effects, and warnings about mixing medicines. Each article focuses on one question and gives steps you can use right away.

What you’ll find here

• Fact-checks about specific drugs—e.g., Reminyl (galantamine) and how it’s used for dementia.
• Safety rundowns—like whether Ativan affects heart health or what to watch for with sodium imbalance in older adults.
• Practical buying tips—how to spot legit online pharmacies and avoid scams when ordering drugs like Topamax or Isordil.
• Alternatives and trade-offs—straight talk on newer options for antipsychotics, antidepressants, and inhalers so you know what to ask your prescriber.
• Interaction alerts—simple lists of meds that shouldn’t be mixed, for example with sildenafil or other common drugs.

How to use these posts

Start with a quick scan: read the short summary, then the safety tips near the top. If a post discusses buying drugs online, look for red flags we list—no prescription required, price too low, vague contact info, or poor shipping policies. Those are signs to avoid that seller.

When a post compares alternatives, focus on side-effect profiles and practical issues like dosing or monitoring. For example, if an article lists Abilify alternatives that reduce weight gain risk, check whether the alternatives need extra blood tests or cause sleep problems. That helps you talk with your doctor with facts, not fear.

Drug interaction pieces point out specific combos to avoid and why. Use those to make a short list before appointments: the name of the drug, what you’re worried about, and any symptoms you’ve noticed. That makes conversations with clinicians faster and safer.
