CAN YOUR PAINKILLER ACTUALLY BE CAUSING MORE HEADACHES?

It sounds contradictory, but it's possible.
Frequently using certain headache medicines can lead to something called Medication-Overuse Headache (MOH).

Here's what happens:
You get a headache → You take medication → The headache returns → You take more medication.

Over time, this cycle can make headaches more frequent and harder to treat.

What should you do?
• Avoid using headache medication more frequently than recommended.
• Don't keep increasing your dose when headaches persist.
• Speak to a pharmacist or doctor if you regularly need painkillers.

Remember: Pain relief should not become another problem.

FEELING WELL DOESN’T MEAN YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS UNDER CONTROL.

Hypertension is known as the silent killer because it can damage your body without obvious symptoms.

💊 Never stop taking your antihypertensive medication just because you feel better. Continue your treatment as prescribed, monitor your blood pressure regularly, and consult your healthcare professional before making any changes.

Remember: Control hypertension before it controls your life.

Your medicine may be losing its quality before its expiry date.

5 medicine-storage mistakes to avoid:

1. Leaving medicines in direct sunlight: Heat and light can damage some medicines.

2. Keeping medicines in a hot car: Temperatures can rise well above recommended storage conditions.

3. Storing medicines in a damp bathroom: Moisture can affect tablets and capsules.

4. Ignoring storage instructions: Some medicines require refrigeration; others must not be frozen.

5. Keeping medicines where children can reach them: Store them securely and out of sight.

Remember: A medicine's expiry date assumes appropriate storage. Improper storage can affect its quality before that date.

💊 FEELING BETTER? DON'T STOP YOUR MEDICINE JUST YET.

Feeling better is a good sign, but it doesn't always mean your condition is fully treated.
Before you stop taking your medicine, remember:
1. Some conditions need continued treatment even when you feel well.
2. Some medicines must be reduced gradually rather than stopped suddenly.
3. Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
4. If you're unsure whether to continue or stop a medicine, ask your pharmacist or prescriber first.

Your health matters. Never change your treatment without the right advice.

At Good Life Pharmacy, we're here to help you make informed decisions about your medicines.

💊 BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY MEDICINE, CHECK THESE 3 THINGS

1️⃣ What is this medicine for?
Know what condition or symptom it is meant to treat.

2️⃣ How should I take it?
Check the dose, timing, duration, and whether it should be taken with food or on an empty stomach.

3️⃣ Could it interact with something else?
Tell your pharmacist about other medicines, supplements, allergies, pregnancy, or medical conditions.

Never guess with medicines.

A simple question to your pharmacist can help prevent medication errors and unnecessary side effects.

🩺 PEPTIC ULCER: Don’t Ignore the Signs.

That burning or gnawing pain in your stomach may be more than “just acidity.”

Peptic ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or upper part of the intestine. Common causes include H. pylori infection and the frequent use of certain painkillers such as ibuprofen and diclofenac.

⚠️ Warning signs may include:
• Burning stomach pain.
• Bloating or nausea.
• Feeling full quickly.
• Vomiting.
• Black or bloody stool, seek medical attention immediately

💊 Treatment depends on the cause. Avoid self-medicating, especially with antibiotics or painkillers.

If you're experiencing persistent stomach pain, talk to a healthcare professional.
