⚠️ I’m a pharmacist, and I recently made these 3 medication and supplement mistakes .. don’t make them too! ⚠️
We are all human, these mistakes can be easy to make. I know because I have made them myself!
✨Not Reviewing Strength- I recently used an older estrogen patch without checking the strength. Turns out it was a higher dose than what I’m prescribed now…. Back to bloating again for a bit of time ! 😏
✨ Not Reviewing Dosage- I assumed my new magnesium glycinate dose was one capsule. The actual serving size was three. I’m sleeping so much better now after correcting this! 😴
✨ Not Fully Reading Labels- I didn’t fully review the ingredients in a supplement blend. Certain ingredients such as stimulants like green tea can aggravate my bladder symptoms. It’s so important to know what may affect you too! 😵
The lesson? We can all get very comfortable. Never assume you know what’s in the bottle just because you’ve used it before.
Labels change, strengths change.. a quick label check can save you from unwanted side effects ( that can potentially be harmful) and get the results you are intending!
Have you ever discovered you were taking something differently than you thought? 👇
