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.
