A tiny white spot in an extremely delicate area! ๐๏ธโจ
Milium is a small keratin-filled cyst that can appear around the eyes. During this extraction, every movement had to be performed with great care and precision.
โ ๏ธ Do not try to puncture or squeeze it at home, especially on the eyelid. Seek a qualified professional for proper evaluation.
Watch until the end and share it with someone who also has these little spots! ๐

D. Calcium.
Calcium supplements impair levothyroxine absorption by forming insoluble complexes in the gastrointestinal tract, requiring a dosing separation of at least four hours.
On the other hand, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) enhances dissolution and bioavailability by lowering gastric pH, optimizing hormone efficacy in patients with malabsorption.

A. Paroxetine (SSRI) and Phenelzine (MAOI).
These shouldn't be combined because both increase serotonin levels in different ways, which can cause dangerous serotonin syndrome.
The other options are safe to take together and don't affect serotonin.

Prostrate enlargement is a common problem many men face as they grow older. As a pharmacist, my simple advice is this, stay active, eat healthy, stay hydrated, and don't ignore persistent urinary symptoms. ๐ฝ
Why prostate grows >>>
The prostate keeps enlarging in most men after about age 40 because prostate tissue converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT binds receptors inside prostate cells and tells them to multiply, mainly in the zone that surrounds the urethra.
Educational only. Not medical advice. See a qualified clinician.

๐จ When your period feels like it has overstayed its welcome
Periods can vary, but heavy bleeding lasting up to 8 days deserves attention, especially if itโs soaking pads frequently, causing dizziness, weakness, severe pain, or affecting daily life.
Donโt just โmanage itโ at home, please get assessed.
