Very important.

Turmeric or turmeric supplements lowers the blood pressure thereby giving off a false bp reading. As such when you are already on a medication which lowers your BP and you go and take turmeric it might result in an abnormally lowered blood pressure which can be very harmful.

If you are pregnant avoid taking tetracycline or Ciprofloxacin, they can harm the bone formation of the baby.

Don’t wash the inside of your vagina, the vagina has a way of cleaning itself. Washing or douching the vagina can predispose you to a lot of problems like vaginal pain and yeast infection amongst others. If you must, only gently “wash” the outer part of the vagina (vulva) with-

-warm water. Don’t use vaginal wash, vaginal spray or vaginal soaps on the vagina. They can harm the normal microflora of the vagina this can result in an overgrowth of bad bacteria or yeast.

Only use warm water on the outer part of the vagina (vulva) that’s is enough. The vagina can handle itself. To reduce your risks of STIs always use a condom. ALWAYS. Urinate after sex, this will help reduce your risks of having UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections).

Taking NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs eg Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Felvin etc) on an empty stomach is a NO. Don’t try it. Always take them with food. Taking them on an empty stomach can harm your stomach this can predispose you to ulcer.

Don’t take antibiotics with milk. Taking antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and tetracycline amongst others with milk can render them ineffective as it makes it hard for your body to absorb them.
