Diphtheria, a serious bacterial disease of the
respiratory tract and once a major killer of
children, was first named in 1926. The name is
from the Greek word meaning parchment,
describing the yellow -grey appearance of the
throat. Diphtheria is seldom seen today due to effective immunization
programs.
Finland is one of the largest per capita users of coffee in the world.
Finns drink 5.3 cups per day for every man, woman and child. In
Canada, that number is 1.8 cups per day.
We've had medications to treat anxiety and agitation for many years.
But the very first one discovered for that purpose was bromide,
discovered in 1860. It's not used today due to better and safer drugs
for that purpose.
Glucosamine is often used by people with osteoarthritis to help
control pain. The dose is usually 500 mg 3 x daily and side effects are
minimal. It can help, however if you don't experience any
improvement after 8-10 weeks, you should consider stopping it.
Our pharmacy education continues for a lifetime. It's important to
us that we keep up-to-date with the latest in pharmacy and drug
therapy. It helps us maintain a high level of service to our customers.
