  2. I'm unable to donate blood as when one of my #medications is given in huge doses to pregnant rats it can cause birth defects.
    Personally I'd rather my blood was given to humans, not rats.

  7. I moved... so now I have to update my address everywhere.

    I updated it in CVS Caremark, except that I got a text today telling me that they are preparing to ship a medication to my old address.

    :headache:

    I had *already* changed my address. Why are they using the old one??

    :why:

    I told the CSR that I want all future shipments to go to my new address because, and I quote that I said in the chat:

    "Playing whack-a-mole with medication shipments is not something I want to do."

  19. [It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

  21. …Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking ⁠approval contained ​false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

  25. The majority of abortions in the #US are obtained through #medications, usually a combination of #mifepristone & a second drug, #misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of #abortion bans that most #Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 #SCOTUS ruling that overturned #RoeVWade & allowed for state bans.

  27. @ireneista @JessTheUnstill Alright! Hopefully last ping (unless further questions idk)

    1. thevillagepharmacy.ca/organize
    2. medicineshoppeelbow.ca/medicat

    So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
    No, apparently.
    (Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.
    *That's* what I was missing.
