There are some really important statistics you need to know about yourself before taking a decision. Some of them include knowing your genotype and blood group.

Just knowing your blood group alone is not enough especially as a female. You should be aware of your rhesus factor.

Rhesus factor simply put in a layman's language, is that -ve and +ve sign that accompanies your blood group.

As a female, if your blood group have a -ve rhesus factor, you should be mindful. If you have a case of miscarriage or termi nation of pregnancy run to your pharmacist or doctor for further guidance to avoid stories that touches the heart.

Why do some people prefer taking one dose or two doses of a medication?

Someone will say please just give me one dose of antimalarial or they'll say give me the one I will take tonight and tomorrow morning.

I always seize the opportunity to enlighten them on the negative effects of such practices and encourage them to take proper and complete medication for an ailment, because taking the right medication in the right way at the right doses will prevent cases of resistance and ultimately lead to a healthier outcome.

Please always seek professional advice.

Why do some mothers give their babies medicine for teething even before the baby show any sign of teething?

I asked a few people and they said it is to prevent teething pain and the discomfort that comes with it.

Yes, teething in babies comes with some discomfort. But it is better to treat symptomatically.

I believe this early and regular exposure of Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs have a link with peptic ulcer in children.

Stop putting your children at risk

Please, contact your pharmacist and other healthcare providers for advice and proper medication.

I was in the pharmacy when a woman rushed in with her baby. She was looking worried and asked for a particular medication. When I brought it and told her the cost, she screamed that couldn't afford it.

I questioned why she needed it and she said her baby has 'ntiwa isi' so she was advised to use it on the head. On taking a closer look, I noticed there was a pasty stuff on the baby's head which she explained was applied in the village.

On further enquiry, I found out that she was a first time mom and was lost on what to do. Her baby is only 3 months old.

I explained to her that that was anterior frontanelle and advised her on what to do.

The anterior fontanelle is a diamond-shaped soft spot at the top of an infant's head, that closes within 7 to 19 months. The smaller, posterior fontanelle is triangular, located at the back of the head and usually closes within 1 to 2 months after birth.

These openings allow for brain growth and molding of the skull during birth. If a fontanelle is sunken, it may indicate dehydration, while a bulging fontanelle can signal increased intracranial pressure.

While closure of the frontanelle varies, your pediatrician can provide guidance.

Please stop mixing all forms of concoction and applying on the innocent infant's head.
