March 2025 Archive — ADHD, Hypertension & Stromectol Alternatives

March 2025 brought three practical reads on CanPharm that can change how you think about common treatments. Each piece gives clear options and action steps—no fluff. Read these highlights to spot new medication choices, protect your bones, and weigh alternatives for parasitic infections.

Key posts this month

Top Alternatives to Methylphenidate: Exploring Your Options explains what to consider when methylphenidate isn’t right. The article compares stimulant alternatives like amphetamine salts and non‑stimulants such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, clonidine, and bupropion. It lists benefits (longer effect, different side effect profiles) and risks (sleep issues, appetite changes, blood pressure). The practical advice: track symptoms, share side effects with your prescriber, and combine meds with behavioral strategies when possible.

Hypertension's Hidden Toll on Bone Health looks at how high blood pressure can raise fracture risk. The post points to research linking hypertension with lower bone density, possibly through calcium loss in urine and chronic inflammation. It also notes that some blood pressure drugs like thiazide diuretics can help bone strength. Simple, testable actions are suggested: check your bone density if you have long‑standing hypertension, eat enough calcium and vitamin D, and add weight‑bearing exercise to your routine.

Exploring Stromectol Alternatives: 2025 Feasible Options reviews substitutes for ivermectin when it’s not available or suitable. The piece examines Diethylcarbamazine (DEC‑C) and other anti‑parasitic choices, compares effectiveness against specific parasites, and flags common side effects. The tone is practical: match the drug to the parasite, be aware of local treatment guidelines, and monitor for reactions during therapy.

What you can do right now

Talk to your clinician. If a medication isn’t working or causes side effects, ask about real alternatives and what to expect from each option. Don’t stop medications abruptly; discuss a plan.

Get screened. People with long‑term high blood pressure should consider a bone density test and aim for lifestyle steps that protect bones: balanced diet, vitamin D, and regular resistance exercise.

Know the parasite and the treatment. If you face a parasitic infection, confirm the diagnosis and ask whether DEC‑C or another drug is appropriate where you live. Follow local guidance for dosing and monitoring.

How to use these articles: open the full post and check the sections on side effects, dose ranges, and drug interactions. For ADHD meds, note when to give the pill to reduce sleep trouble and watch weight and heart signs. For blood pressure and bones, compare your latest BP numbers with the ranges mentioned and bring those numbers to your bone‑health talk. For parasitic drugs, confirm the parasite species and local resistance patterns before switching drugs. If you travel, ask local public health or clinic staff about recommended choices. Bookmark the posts and use the symptom trackers or checklists in each article when you talk to your clinician.

Stay informed, safely.
