🚨 Are your methotrexate side effects worse than your disease?

Methotrexate is a go-to treatment in rheumatology, but that doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

In this video, we’re digging into the real-life experience of methotrexate: the good, the bad, and the fixable.

You’ll learn how to recognize red flags, manage side effects, and ask the right questions at your next appointment.

👩🏻‍⚕️I’ve prescribed this med hundreds of times—and I’m telling you: you have more say in this than you think.

💡What you’ll learn:
➡️ What methotrexate side effects to watch out for—and how to know when they’ve gone too far.
➡️ How simple changes (like folic acid dose or switching from pill to injection) can make methotrexate more tolerable.
➡️ Why regular lab tests are crucial for staying safe while on methotrexate.
➡️ What to ask your doctor if methotrexate is causing nausea, fatigue, or brain fog.
➡️ How to decide if it’s time to stop methotrexate—and what other treatment options might be available.

My take on Effexor XR for Anxiety relief. There is a lot of info in this video (see time stamps below) because I was basically just ranting lol, but there is helpful information all throughout. Please leave a comment if you have other questions about my experience with Effexor I'd love to answer any questions! Might make another video.

I made this video for people who are starting Effexor and are curious about other users' experiences. I wanted to make this because when I began treatment with Effexor I couldn't find many user-based video, so I think it could help.

There are some things I forgot to mention, like weight loss/gain with Effexor (my weight has been stable), appetite, "mania," Effexor with Alcohol, Effexor with Adderall, Effexor and ADHD, etc. Ask questions in the comments or let me know if I should make another vid or Q&A about effexor!

What Are The Long-term Effects Of Taking Zantac? In this informative video, we will discuss the long-term effects of taking Zantac, a medication that has been widely used for treating heartburn and acid reflux.

We will cover various health issues that may arise from taking this medication over an extended period, including potential liver and kidney damage, heart complications, neurological effects, gastrointestinal symptoms, and the risk of anemia. Additionally, we will address the alarming connection between Zantac and an increased risk of certain cancers due to contamination with a probable carcinogen.

Videoconsejo sanitario sobre metronidazol, para qué sirve este antibiótico, y cómo y cuándo debemos administrar este medicamento. Videoconsejo impartido por la farmacéutica Irene Suárez, elaborado por el Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos y producido por Medicina TV.

El metronidazol es un antibiótico del grupo de los imidazoles. También presenta actividad antiparasitaria.

Es activo sobre un número importante de bacterias. No obstante, y al igual que cualquier otro antibiótico, no tiene ningún efecto frente a infecciones causadas por virus, como gripe, resfriado, COVID-19 o la mayoría de las infecciones de garganta. También se han descrito casos importantes de bacterias resistentes a su efecto.

Está indicado para el tratamiento de una amplia variedad de infecciones, siempre que se demuestre previamente que la bacteria o el parasito causante es sensible al efecto de metronidazol. Se usa para tratar, entre otras: infecciones uretrales, vaginales, intestinales y hepáticas parasitarias. También para infecciones de la piel que cursan inflamación o rojeces como el acné de la rosácea.

El metronidazol está disponible en el mercado:

- Por vía oral, en forma de comprimidos y suspensión oral.
- Por vía vaginal, en forma de comprimidos vaginales.
- Por vía tópica, en forma de gel y crema.
- O como inyectable intravenoso.

La dosis a emplear y la duración del tratamiento dependen de la localización de la infección y de su gravedad, así como de la presentación del medicamento, y tienen que ser definidas por el médico.

Por ejemplo para adultos, en el tratamiento de las infecciones de la piel que cursan con inflamación se suele aplicar sobre la piel limpia una fina capa de gel dos veces al día (mañana y noche) durante 3 o 4 meses. Para las infecciones vaginales se suele introducir un comprimido vaginal por las noches durante 10-20 días y generalmente se suele acompañar de tratamiento por vía oral.
En niños, la dosis a emplear y la duración del tratamiento dependen del peso del niño, de la localización de la infección y de su gravedad.

Las reacciones adversas más frecuentes en tratamientos sistémicos con metronidazol son náuseas y dolor de cabeza. Por vía tópica, puede producir enrojecimiento transitorio e irritación.

Pero el mayor riesgo de metronidazol se debe al mal uso y al abuso que hacemos de los antibióticos, y es la aparición de resistencias, que pueden hacer que este antibiótico deje de ser eficaz. Para evitar o combatir este problema y reducir el riesgo de resistencias bacterianas, el Ministerio de Sanidad, a través de la Agencia Española de Medicamentos ha creado un grupo de expertos (Plan Nacional de la Resistencia a Antibióticos o PRAN), en el que participamos los farmacéuticos a través de representantes del Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos.

Entre las principales recomendaciones, es fundamental no usar metronidazol sin receta médica, ya que un antibiótico que te fue útil la última vez no tiene por qué serlo ahora. Además, es importante que tomes o apliques el medicamento a las horas y durante el periodo de tiempo que te haya indicado el médico. Y finalmente, desecha el tratamiento que te haya sobrado en el punto SIGRE de tu farmacia.

Y recuerda, pregunta siempre a tu farmacéutico de confianza. Te informaremos sobre cómo debes administrar metronidazol y sobre cualquier otra duda que tengas

Videoconsejo sanitario sobre el nitrofurantoína, para qué sirve este medicamento, cómo y cuándo debemos administrarlo. Videoconsejo impartido por la farmacéutica Paula Mateos, elaborado por el Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos y producido por Medicina TV.

La nitrofurantoína es un antibiótico derivado del nitrofurano. Es activa sobre un número importante de bacterias. No obstante, y al igual que cualquier otro antibiótico, no tiene ningún efecto frente a infecciones causadas por virus, como gripe, resfriado, COVID-19 o la mayoría de las infecciones de garganta.

Está indicado para el tratamiento de la cistitis aguda en niñas mayores de 3 meses, adolescentes y mujeres adultas.

La nitrofurantoína está disponible tanto en forma de comprimidos como en suspensión oral. La dosis recomendada para el tratamiento de la cistitis aguda no complicada en mujeres adultas es de 50-100 mg cada 8 horas durante 5-7 días.

Para niñas mayores de 3 meses y adolescentes, la dosis recomendada es de 5-7 mg/kg de peso por día, sin superar la dosis de adulto, repartidas en cuatro tomas durante 5-7 días. En el caso de niñas menores de 6 años, se debe usar la suspensión oral.

Se recomienda tomar nitrofurantoína durante la comida o con un vaso de leche.

Es importante usar nitrofurantoína solo para el tratamiento curativo de cistitis agudas y no como profilaxis, con una duración del tratamiento limitada a un máximo de 7 días puesto que un tratamiento prolongado puede tener riesgos pulmonares, hepáticos, alérgicos y neurológicos.

Las reacciones adversas más frecuentes en tratamientos con nitrofurantoína es la aparición de reacciones cutáneas alérgicas como prurito y urticaria; mareos; y problemas gastrointestinales como náuseas, vómitos, dolor abdominal y diarrea.

Pero el mayor riesgo de nitrofurantoína se debe al mal uso y al abuso que hacemos de los antibióticos, y es la aparición de resistencias, que pueden hacer que este antibiótico deje de ser eficaz. Para evitar o combatir este problema y reducir el riesgo de resistencias bacterianas, el Ministerio de Sanidad, a través de la Agencia Española de Medicamentos ha creado un grupo de expertos (Plan Nacional de la Resistencia a Antibióticos o PRAN), en el que participamos los farmacéuticos a través de representantes del Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos.
