FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Choosing medicine for a cold, flu, and other aches and pains can be overwhelming. Why is the drug aisle so confusing? Dr. Marvin Lipman, Consumer Reports Medical Adviser said, "The problem is labels like extra strength, maximum strength, or ultra-strength really have no standard definition." Take Ultra-Strength Tums. It has 100 percent more of its active ingredient than the regular version. But Gas-X Ultra-Strength has 125 percent more of its active ingredient. "The point is you really have to read the label in order to know how much you're taking," Lipman said. Claims like "all day" and "long acting" are tricky, too. All-day Aleve lasts up to 12 hours. But this all-day medicine lasts 24 hours. With drugs that promise to relieve multiple symptoms, like a cold, flu, and sore throat, you could end up taking something you don't need. "Drugs that treat multiple symptoms often have more than one ingredient, sometimes many," lipman said. So if you take another medicine that contains one of those ingredients, you might wind up taking too much. Consumer reports says best is choosing a single ingredient drug whenever you can, like ibuprofen for aches and pains or acetaminophen for … Continue reading →

As far as children are concerned, to medicate or not to medicate is the big question. When it comes to the health of their offspring, the worry for parents is sometimes overwhelming. With so many in-your-face ad campaigns promoting health insurance for children, parents who have signed up for such plans often think they should "maximise" the benefits by taking their child to hospital every time they so much as suspect an illness. Many doctors in this country are inclined to prescribe remedies for the mildest symptoms and if this happens often enough the excessive medication can have negative effects on a youngster's health. While taking an incorrect dose or other improper use of over-the-counter medicine can be harmful for adults, it can be potentially fatal for very young children, warned Dr Terapong Boonyaleephun, a Bangkok-based paediatrician. He pointed out five common mistakes that parents make regarding the treatment of their kids' illnesses with drugs. MEDICINE IS THE BEST ANSWER Although first-time parents tend to get alarmed at the slightest sign of illness in their child, every single sneeze and cough doesn't have to be treated with drugs. Dr Terapong pointed out that some symptoms go away naturally without the … Continue reading →

Harborside Patients Speak: Where will I get my medicine? On July 10, 2012, federal agents taped a notice of property forfeiture to the doors of Harborside Health Center, a medical cannabis dispensary located in Oakland and San Jose, Calif. If successful, this federal action would shut down Harborside, forcing thousands of patients back into the underground, illegal market. The closure of Harborside would have an especially destructive effect on California's most medically challenged patients, who are less able to negotiate the dangers of the illegal marketplace, and cannot risk using untested cannabis from unregulated sources. Likewise, the patients featured in this video who volunteered their stories are afraid that if Harborside closes, they will have no reliable, safe source for the medicine they depend on. NORML estimates that there are now over 1.1 million medical cannabis patients in the state of California alone. Patients use medical cannabis to alleviate suffering from a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, cancer, migraine headaches, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and HIV-AIDS. Harborside Health Center was founded in 2006 to ensure these medical cannabis patients receive medicine that is safe and effective, and is provided in full compliance with state law. Since then Harborside has … Continue reading →
