Quick safety checks you can use right now

Buying meds online? Do these three things: 1) Demand a prescription for prescription-only drugs; 2) Confirm the pharmacy shows a physical address and license number, then verify it with local regulators; 3) Use secure payment methods and watch for HTTPS on the site.

Starting a supplement? Look for third-party testing (USP, NSF, or similar), start with the lowest effective dose, and watch for interactions with prescriptions you already take. For example, if you’re on blood pressure or thyroid meds, check with your clinician before adding herbal supplements.

Stopping or changing a psychiatric or nerve medication? Don’t quit cold. Taper slowly and get a plan from your prescriber. Our gabapentin taper article lists common tapering patterns and monitoring signs that usually come up in clinic — use it as a conversation starter with your doctor.

Managing chronic conditions like COPD, diabetes, or heart disease? Look at the articles comparing inhalers, GLP‑1s/SGLT2s, and beta-blockers. They break down benefits, side effects, and real-life tradeoffs so you can ask focused questions at your next appointment.

Want fast wins for everyday wellness? Sleep 7–8 hours, move 20–30 minutes most days, drink a glass of water when you wake, and get a single preventive test or vaccine if you’re overdue. Small, consistent steps add up.
