What you’ll find this month
We published four focused pieces: a deep look at why certain rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drugs can cause hair shedding, a short pet hiccup guide for worried owners, a comparison of Pharmex Direct alternatives for easier prescriptions, and a breakdown of six alternatives to levofloxacin. Below are the key takeaways so you can pick what applies to you fast.
RA medications and hair loss: Methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and some biologics may trigger telogen effluvium—temporary hair shedding after stress on the body or changes in the hair cycle. The article explains how each drug interacts with hair growth, who’s most likely to see shedding, and practical steps: check blood work, rule out thyroid or nutrient gaps, talk to your rheumatologist about timing or dose adjustments, and consider dermatology options like topical minoxidil if advised. The piece gives realistic expectations about recovery time and when to seek specialist help.
Hiccups in pets: Dog or cat hiccups are often harmless—common causes include fast eating, excitement, or a sudden change in breathing pattern. The guide shows quick home fixes (slow feeders, smaller meals, calming routines) and red flags that mean you should call the vet: persistent hiccups, signs of pain, vomiting, or breathing trouble. It’s written for pet owners who want clear actions without overreacting.
Pharmex Direct alternatives in 2025: If you’re tired of prescription headaches, the roundup compares real features like home delivery, refill reminders, pill organization, and app usability. The article highlights top contenders such as Pillway and other services that focus on convenience and safety. Pros and cons help you match a service to your routine—whether you need same-day pickup, discreet packaging, or integrated telehealth.
Six alternatives to levofloxacin: The antibiotic roundup lists practical substitutes commonly used for UTIs and other infections, explains when each one makes sense, and points out limits like allergy risks or resistance concerns. The goal is to help you have a more informed conversation with your prescriber about options when levofloxacin isn’t ideal.
