"Don't worry, Don't worry, I know how to take it", that's how Lucy swallowed Mycoten PESSARY for 6 consecutive days & came back to tell us it didn't work.

Please always allow ur PHARMACIST to tell you how your medications are taken.

Leave no room for assumption.

#Disclaimers : Not all tablets are to be swallowed.

Some Tablets are inserted in the rectum (suppositories),
some are inserted in the vagina (suppositories & pessaries), some drugs are placed Under the tongue (Sublingual )

Most tablets are best taken with water,

2/cont...
some with food, milk.

Some are taken few minutes/hours after meal because food slows down the absorption of certain medications.

Some negatively interact with Multivitamins.

Some drugs are available as both oral tablets/capsules & suppositories such as Paracetamol,

3/cont...
Diclofenac, Ducolax, etc.

👇👇👇👇
Always Ask/Allow your #PHARMACIST to give you directives, no matter how hasty you are.

NEVER LEAVE ROOMS FOR ASSUMPTION WHEN TAKING YOUR MEDICATIONS.

1. SQUIRTING is essentially the involuntary emission of URINE during sexual activity, although a marginal contribution of skene's glands secretions to the emitted fluid often exists.
2. Superfecundation:
When a woman has intercourse with 2 different men in a short period of time while ovulating, it's possible for both men to impregnate her separately.
In this case, 2 different sperm impregnate 2 different eggs.

Just last month, a Woman came to the pharmacy with a prescription to get "Chlorpromazine (CPZ) 100mg BID", for her hiccups.

Told her the dosage was pretty too high but she objected.

Fast forward 1 week later, a Man (her husband) came to the Pharmacy to get some drugs..

1/cont.
(Lyrica, Neurovite Forte, Tegretol & Diazepam) for his wife.

During the consultation with him, I found out it was the same woman that came a few ago to get CPZ.

He told me that, she was having muscle spams, uncontrollable movements of her body, agitation, restlessness
2/
and that atimes she won't recognize him or the Kids.

Ask him if she's still on the medication (CPZ), he said Yes (since the prescription said for 2 weeks).

Told him not to get the drugs prescribed, because she's only having side effects of the Drug

With PCOS, it's perfectly normal & fine to hv worries about things, esp. bcos a lot of PCOS is unknown & as humans, we like certainty.

We like knowing & understanding what's going on. With PCOS, this is often not the case

Here are some of the common worries our Healthy PCOS

community are having;

🤷 “Will I ever be able to have children?”

🤷 “Will I ever actually be in control of my own body?”

🤷 “Will my hair ever be as thick and full as it used to be?”

🤷 “Will I ever be able to not have to stress about my beard being visible?”

🤷 “Will anybody ever understand because I feel totally alone”

🤷 “Will I ever be able to eat normally without putting on weight?”

🤷 “Will I ever be able to love myself?”

🤷 “Will I ever get over this constant fatigue? I’m tired of being tired all the time”
