Naltrexone for Addiction: This piece explains how naltrexone works for opioid and alcohol use disorders, what to expect during treatment, common side effects, and how patients describe life on the medication. It covers the differences between oral and injectable forms and gives practical advice for talking with your prescriber.

GLP-1 Agonists vs. Metformin: We unpack recent trials comparing semaglutide and tirzepatide to metformin for weight loss and A1C changes. The article breaks down who saw the biggest benefits, which side effects were reported most often, and simple questions you can ask your doctor when considering these drugs.

Tuberculosis and Traditional Medicine: This report looks at where traditional remedies are used alongside standard TB treatment, what evidence exists, and where risks arise. We highlight common community practices, when they might help with symptoms, and when they could interfere with antibiotics.

Practical takeaways

If you’re thinking about naltrexone: ask whether injectable or oral is better for your situation, confirm you’re opioid-free before starting, and plan for follow-up visits to manage side effects and support.

Considering GLP-1 drugs or metformin? Track both weight and A1C, weigh side effects like nausea or GI upset, and set realistic goals with your clinician — some patients see big weight drops, others prioritize A1C control.

On TB and traditional treatments: tell your TB care team about any herbs or remedies you use. Some compounds can reduce antibiotic levels or cause liver strain; transparency keeps treatment safe and effective.

Buying meds online: look for pharmacy verification seals, check for a Canadian phone number and physical address, compare total costs (drug price plus shipping and handling), and prefer tracked shipping for important prescriptions.
