Did you know? 👀

BPD stands for Biparietal Diameter — a measurement of your baby's head taken during an ultrasound scan.

📏 It is one of the measurements used to assess fetal growth and help estimate gestational age, together with other ultrasound measurements.

🎥 Watch our short clip to see BPD being measured during a scan here at AVAN PHARMACY & DIAGNOSTICS .

💊🚨 AVAN PHARMACY MYTH BUSTER | FRIDAY

❌ MYTH: “If I feel better, I can stop taking my medicine.”

✅ FACT: Not always!

Feeling better does not necessarily mean that the condition has completely resolved.

Stopping certain medicines too early can lead to:
⚠️ Treatment failure
⚠️ Symptoms returning
⚠️ Complications
⚠️ In some cases, resistance to treatment

Always follow the instructions given by your doctor or pharmacist.** If you're unsure whether you should continue or stop a medicine, ask a healthcare professional rather than guessing.

🩺💙 AVAN HEALTH SCHOOL | MONDAY

DON'T GUESS WITH YOUR HEALTH.

Sometimes we feel unwell and immediately reach for a medicine someone recommended, something we used before, or something we saw online.

But the same medicine that helped someone else may not be right for you.

Before taking medicine, consider:

🔹 What is causing the symptoms?
🔹 Is this the right medicine for the condition?
🔹 Could it interact with another medicine you're taking?
🔹 Is it safe if you are pregnant or breastfeeding?
🔹 What is the correct dose and duration?

💊 Medicines work best when they are used correctly.

At AVAN Pharmacy, our professional team is available to help you make informed decisions about your medicines and your health.
