That u were diagnosed of ulcer does nt mean u shud feel bad, the treatment has a scheme of work for 6 weeks after that u wud be completely okay, ulcer is just an injury on the walls of the intestine / stomach depending on where it was discovered.. there are some food u wud avoid, just not to trigger it again- avoid spicy food, food that produce a lot of gas like beans... eat regularly at the same time exercise too , avoid alcohol and smoking. Thats is just a few to mention..

Congrat on safe delivery... ur baby is 2 months and 3 weeks. And needs breast milk for his/ her nutritional requirement.. As a nursing mother u are prone to malaria, I think u shud do a malaria test,if nt for ur sake but for d baby's sake..u wud look for a non- drowsy antihistamine to take, one of 2nd generation, a good example include - loratidine and cetrizine. They are class A drugs in pregnancy and nursing mothers.

WATE ON (WAYTE ON) is a good emulsion that is formulated to promote weight gain. You can get that in most pharmacies around. Also ensure you go on a diet rich in nutrients and vitamins. You can also get complan if you dont want to have to bother about getting the required nutrients from different sources. Pharm Remi

Get informed on how your pharmacist can help you. Pharmacists are medication experts.Do you suffer from a chronic condition such as asthma, arthritis, or diabetes etc? Your pharmacist can work with you and your doctor to make sure you choose the best medications to look after your health.

Studies have shown that half of all Nigerians do not take their prescription medications exactly as prescribed. Every year thousands of people are admitted into hospitals because they did not follow the instructions on their medication container.
Do not leave the pharmacy or hospital until you fully understand how to use your medication properly.

Not sure what to ask your pharmacist? Here is a list of questions you can consider:
Why am I taking this medication?
How and when should I take this medication?
Is "four times a day" the same as "every six hours"?
Do I have to wake up during the night to take my medication?
Am I supposed to swallow my medicine with food or water?
Is there anything I should or should not eat or drink while I am taking this medication?
What should I do if I miss my dose, or take two doses close together?
How will I know if this medication is working?
How will I remember to take my medicine?
I have allergies - is it safe for me to take this medication?
Are there any side effects I should watch for? Will it make me sleepy?
Will my medication interact with other drugs?
Can I drink alcohol while I am taking this medication?
Will it be affected by over-the-counter medications like painkillers or antacids?
Will it be affected by vitamins or herbal supplements?
Can I take this medication if I am pregnant or breast-feeding?
When will I feel better?
If I feel better can I stop taking it?
When should I see my doctor?
Can I get my medication in a container that is easier to open?
Where should I keep my medication?

sorry I need a scars remover. Where can I get it around ibadan.

Pharmacist, I just got to see this thread. Pls I've been suffering from chronic body itching since 2005 which I often experience after taking my bathe. I've tried to switch towels, creams, soup e.t.c but all to no avail. I've used medications such as Doxepin, Loratidine (in conjuction with other drugs. It is more acute whenever I go close to doing a job that make me sweat, especially hard labour like farming, tilling e.t.c. I'll be glad if you can help me put an end to this. Thanks! Boniface
