FIP Reaffirms Safety of Combination Vaccines and Paracetamol Use During Pregnancy

By Chigbu Nwaobia
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) recently issued two separate statements addressing recent concerns surrounding combination vaccines and paracetamol use during pregnancy.
FIP emphasized in the statements recently posted on its website the safety and importance of combination vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
According to the World Health Organization, vaccines prevent up to 5 million deaths annually and have saved over 150 million lives in the past five decades. Click the link to read more..https://pharmatimes.com.ng/fip-reaffirms-safety-of-combination-vaccines-and-paracetamol-use-during-pregnancy/

Ordinary Painkillers like Advil and Tylenol Forcefully Driving Antibiotic Resistance

By Morgan Nwanguma
The painkillers many of us trust - ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol), may be quietly worsening one of the world’s most urgent health threats: antibiotic resistance.
In the first study of its kind, researchers at the University of South Australia found that these drugs don’t just drive resistance on their own; they make it far worse when combined with antibiotics. When tested alongside the commonly prescribed antibiotic ciprofloxacin, both painkillers triggered a surge in bacterial mutations, turning E. coli, a frequent cause of gut and urinary tract infections, highly resistant.
The implications are alarming, especially in aged care homes where residents often take multiple medications. Such environments, researchers warn, may create ideal breeding grounds for superbugs… Click the link to read more. https://pharmatimes.com.ng/ordinary-painkillers-like-advil-and-tylenol-forcefully-driving-antibiotic-resistance/

Men’s Mental Health: Addressing the Silent Epidemic

By Evans Matthews

Across the globe, men’s mental health has emerged as a silent epidemic, often hidden beneath cultural norms, stigma, and systemic neglect. The statistics are sobering: the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that su***de claims nearly 800,000 lives annually, and men account for 75% of these deaths.
“Stigma is the biggest barrier. Men are less likely to seek help because of cultural norms that equate masculinity with stoicism,” explains Dr. Vikram Patel, a global mental health researcher at Harvard Medical School.

Endometriosis: Breaking the Silence Around Women’s Pain

By Evans Matthews

Endometriosis, a chronic and often invisible condition, affects an estimated 190 million women and girls of reproductive age globally. Despite its prevalence, it remains one of the most misunderstood and under diagnosed disorders in women’s health. The disease occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing inflammation, scarring, and, in many cases, debilitating pain.
“Too many women are told that painful periods are normal. This dismissive culture delays diagnosis by an average of seven to ten years,” explains Professor Stacey Missmer of Michigan State University… Click the link to read more https://pharmatimes.com.ng/endometriosis-breaking-the-silence-around-womens-pain/

Breakthroughs in Endometriosis Treatment

By Evans Matthews

Endometriosis, a chronic and often debilitating condition affecting an estimated 190 million women globally, has long remained one of the most under-diagnosed and undertreated women’s health challenges. Characterized by tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, the disease leads to severe pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, infertility, and a diminished quality of life. For decades, millions of women endured years of misdiagnosis, stigma, and ineffective treatments before receiving proper care… Click the link to read more.. https://pharmatimes.com.ng/breakthroughs-in-endometriosis-treatment/

A New Era in Prostate Cancer Therapy

By Evans Matthews

Prostate cancer remains the second most diagnosed cancer in men worldwide, with over 1.4 million new cases annually. It accounts for a significant proportion of cancer-related deaths among men, particularly in regions where screening and advanced care are limited. While early detection through prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and imaging has improved outcomes for many, advanced stages of the disease have historically carried few effective treatment options—until now.

Recent pharmaceutical breakthroughs in immunotherapy and targeted therapy are reshaping the landscape of prostate cancer care.. Click the link to read more.. https://pharmatimes.com.ng/a-new-era-in-prostate-cancer-therapy/

When Iodine Catcalls - The Body's 'SOS' Signals - 1

By Deborah Bamisaye

“What’s this?”

"Salt.”

"Salt? But it looks like tiny, almost crystal-clear stones. How much?”

“(Laughs) That’s no ordinary salt, ma! This is the real deal — pure, organic iodine salt. It costs N3,000.”

“N3,000?! Are you kidding? I just bought a whole sachet of salt for N200!”

“That N200 salt is just the regular salt. If you care about your mental sharpness and thyroid health, you'll want this one. You see, Iodine controls your metabolism, heart rate and even your baby's brain."

“Really? How do you know this? But it sounds expensive but important...”

“Google it! Once you know what iodine does, you’ll never settle for cheap salt again.”

“Hmm... I’ll check it out. Just a minute please...Wow!!!"

"Give me one please!"

IODINE:
Iodine is a non-metallic solid at room temperature and is the heaviest stable halogen. Iodine is essential for life as it plays a critical biological role in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, mainly tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)...

Water: Mastering Intake for Lasting Wellness

By Deborah Bamisaye

“Give me another glass of water please.”

“What are you doing? That would be the 4th glass, are you that thirsty?”

“Not really! But you know, water is life and it’s good to take water, at least 5 liters a day.”

“Says who?

“As how? You want to tell me you don’t know this thing? More glasses, I beg.”

“Hmmm, na wa o! 5 Litres?"

Drinking Art:
The truth is water is essential to life, but mastering the art of its intake is key to unlocking lasting wellness. Proper hydration goes beyond simply drinking enough water; it’s about timing, quantity and quality.

First and foremost, understanding your body's unique needs is crucial. Factors like age, activity level, climate, and health conditions influence daily water requirements. Rather than gulping large amounts at once, sipping water steadily throughout the day helps maintain hydration balance and optimizes absorption..

Lupus - The Ironic Prison and the Courage to Break Free

By Deborah Bamisaye

Lupus is serious! It is a tricky troublemaker, sometimes playing hide-and-seek; other times throwing surprise parties of aches and exhaustion. It keeps its victims in prison and just when they think they’ve won, it pops up again, keeping them on their toes with its unpredictable mischiefs.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy organs and tissues. This wrongful immune response causes inflammation and can damage various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood cells, and brain..

Fatty Liver In Non-Drinkers: Unravel, Crack The Code!

By Deborah Bamisaye

"...You mean Tunde?"

'Yes, but not the Tunde you know o."

"Oh ok!"

"As I was saying: Tunde never touched alcohol, he never took a sip, yet his liver threw a wild party - totally unexpected and uninvited, it became silently fatty. This crept in unnoticed, threatening his health. Hmmm! So, he became fiercely curious and with a spark of defiance, Tunde cracked the code - with bold lifestyle changes, he fought back, turning his silent saboteur into a distant nightmare!"

"Meaning?"

"He won! Tunde won!"

The Multitasking Madness - When Stress Takes Over From the Brain

“...Everyone’s bragging about multitasking these days like it’s some super skill. I'm sure that was part of what you told them before you nailed the job, isn't it?"

"Yes! How do you know?"

"As you well know, I'm almost done studying medicine and I know these things. It's painful employers love to see these in CVs and you know what, job seekers fall for this bait to their detriment. Even we doctors are not left out; at least - not those in the general hospitals. The thing is, our brains can’t really handle it. We just hop from one thing to another and get drained.”

“Then why do we keep saying we’re good at it? Why do people hype it?”

“Because that's what potential employers want to see, that's what they want to hear! Stress is what sneaks in and tries to do all those tasks at once. Stress is the real multitasker - it messes with our focus, big time.” Click the link to read more.. https://pharmatimes.com.ng/the-multitasking-madness-when-stress-takes-over-from-the-brain/

NAFDAC Mulls Prohibition of Tramadol Import into Nigeria

By Chigbu Nwaobia
Barring any last minute change of decision, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), is considering a ban on importation of Tramadol into Nigeria to stem abuses associated with the narcotics product.
This line of thinking by authorities in the food and drug agency in Nigeria emerged recently in Lagos, during a meeting between local manufacturers of narcotics products and top management of NAFDAC.
A reliable source privy to the discussions at the meeting told Pharmatimes that NAFDAC has already drawn up a plan of action to achieve total ban of Tramadol import.
According to the source, one of the measures being considered by NAFDAC is to encourage participation of more local manufacturers after strengthening GMP practices among high-risk industry players..
