"Alcohol is a diuretic and along with flushing fluid out of your system, it also washes out minerals like magnesium, potassium and sodium. It's this that's partly responsible for the pounding head, dry mouth and probably the dizziness too,"
vitamin C can help a bit by speeding up metabolism of alcohol in the liver, and supplements that contain guarana, a form of caffeine, can help perk you up the morning after,
Egg yolks are rich in cysteine, an amino acid that scientists believe may break down acetaldehyde, a toxin produced when the liver processes alcohol - and which causes some hangover symptoms.
A smarter way to feed a hangover is with lighter food like dry toast, boiled rice, plain yoghurt or stewed apple and plenty of fluid

a side-effect of the lifestyle measures many implement when prescribed statins.
‘Losing weight, taking up exercise and restricting a diet by eating less red meat can all cause tiredness. It’s vital to check iron levels.’
Even if the fatigue is linked to statins, don’t stop taking the drug automatically, especially if you’re at high risk for future events, e.g., you are diabetic.
I’d recommend you take a drug holiday, under medical supervision. Stop taking your statin for a week (which is how long it will take to clear your system) and then see how you feel.’
‘Or you could ask to be swapped to a long-acting statin, such as rosuvastatin, a 5mg twice-weekly tablet, which may suit your body’s digestion.’
Statins have been linked to low levels of co-enzyme Q10 — a natural compound found in cells which is important for turning glucose into energy.

‘Skin thinning from short-term use of steroid cream is reversible once you stop using the cream.
‘Patients are told to apply them “sparingly” or “thinly”, but this may mean they’re not as effective.
'The key is using enough to cover the affected area — and it stands to reason that if they have a large area of skin affected, they will need more cream.

"While pharmacists are valued members of the patient care team, they do not have the statutory authority to prescribe drugs."
"Pharmacists' training is not even close to the comprehensive systematic training of physicians,"

Smoking appears to boost metabolism of clopidogrel by activating the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, a lesser known but still important enzyme that breaks the prodrug into its active form. Its counterpart CYP2C19 is well recognized for common variants that hamper clopidogrel metabolism and lead to poor response.
