#ad As a pharmacist (and a bit of a label detective 👀), I always read the ingredient list on products — especially when it comes to baby skincare. Most wipes may look the same… but did you know some contain up to 9 ingredients, including fragrance and preservatives that can irritate delicate skin? 🧪 Today I did a Purity Test on 3 popular baby wipes. • Wipe A & C? Cloudy, foamy water = added surfactants • WaterWipes® (Wipe B)? Just 2 ingredients: 99.9% water + fruit extract = crystal-clear water 💧 That’s why WaterWipes® are the closest thing to cotton wool and water — and gentle enough for newborns. 👼✨ 📦 Next time you shop, flip the pack. Ingredients matter. Your baby’s skin deserves the purest care 💙 #ad @WaterWipes #WaterWipes #PharmacistApproved #BabySkincare #MumTips #SensitiveSkin #NewbornCare #IngredientCheck #HealthWithNyrah

Struggling with anxiety or low mood? You might be prescribed citalopram — an SSRI that boosts serotonin levels in the brain to help improve your mood. It can take 4–6 weeks to see full effects, and side effects like appetite changes, headaches, and sleep issues are common. Always speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns! #citalopram #citalopramjourney #anxiety #learnwithnyrah #pharmacy #pharmacist #medicineexplained #medicine #doctor #ssri #sertraline #fluoxetine #citalopramsideeffects

5 Vital Supplement Facts You Should Know #pharmacist #vitamins #medicine

MIRTAZAPINE FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW Feeling low, anxious or struggling to sleep? This medicine is often prescribed for depression, anxiety & even insomnia! It works by boosting serotonin & noradrenaline — your mood-regulating brain chemicals. But here’s what people don’t always tell you: • You’ll likely take it at night — it can make you very sleepy • It may increase appetite (hello late-night snacks) • Full effects take 4–6 weeks, but many feel better in 1–2 Not addictive, but always taper off slowly — and don’t stop without speaking to your prescriber!

Strawberry legs? 🍓 Let’s fix that. You know those tiny dark dots on your legs that look like strawberry seeds? That’s keratin buildup, clogged pores, or ingrown hairs—and they don’t stand a chance once you know how to treat them 💅🏽 Here’s your smooth-leg survival kit 🧴👇 ✨ Exfoliate – Use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid 2–3x a week to unclog those pores. Physical scrubs? Only if they’re gentle! 🪒 Shave smarter – Always shave with the grain, use a sharp razor, and don’t skip shaving gel (no dry shaving here please 😩) 🚿 Warm water > Hot – Hot showers dry out skin, which can make it worse. 💧 Moisturise daily – Try creams with lactic acid or urea to smooth and hydrate. 🧼 Try a benzoyl peroxide wash if clogged follicles or folliculitis is the cause. 👩🏽‍⚕️ Pharmacist tip: If it’s stubborn, it might be keratosis pilaris or folliculitis—treatable, but might need targeted skincare or a prescription cream. 🧡 Don’t be embarrassed. Most people have it. And it’s so treatable once you know what’s going on.

Pharmacy Hacks Every Female NEEDs to know 💊 #femalehealth #yeastinfection #heavyperiods

you struggle with bloating, anxiety, or gut issues, let’s talk about 5 healing foods backed by real science (not trends) 👇🧠💛 1️⃣ Oatmeal & Bananas for Acid Reflux Sick of that burning feeling after meals? Oatmeal and bananas are low-acid, soothing, and rich in soluble fiber — they help absorb stomach acid and coat the esophagus. 📚 PubMed Ref: Oatmeal can reduce reflux symptoms by stabilizing stomach pH and improving motility (PMID: 30922146). Bananas contain natural antacids like pectin, which improve digestion and prevent reflux. 2️⃣ Fennel Tea for Bloating Fennel relaxes your digestive muscles, reducing trapped gas and cramps. It’s a traditional remedy with modern backing. 📚 PubMed Ref: Fennel extract has been shown to reduce intestinal spasms and relieve bloating, especially in IBS (PMID: 20175853). 3️⃣ Chamomile Tea for Anxiety This isn’t just grandma’s sleepy tea. Chamomile contains apigenin, a natural compound that binds to brain receptors to ease anxiety. 📚 PubMed Ref: Chamomile was found to significantly reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder in clinical trials (PMID: 19593179). 4️⃣ Kefir for Gut Health (Probiotics) Unlike most yoghurts, kefir contains over 30 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeasts. It helps balance your gut flora, reduce inflammation, and support digestion. 📚 PubMed Ref: Kefir was shown to enhance gut microbiota diversity and improve digestive health markers (PMID: 29099763). 5️⃣ Turmeric for Digestion Curcumin (in turmeric) supports bile production and reduces gut inflammation — both essential for smooth digestion. 📚 PubMed Ref: Studies show turmeric can relieve indigestion and symptoms of IBS (PMID: 26308730). ✨ Save this for your next food shop — your body (and gut) will thank you. #guthealth #acidityrelief #bloatingtips #anxietysupport #probioticfoods #pharmacist #digestivehealth #sciencebacked #naturalremedies #chamomile #fenneltea #turmericbenefits
