#ad As a pharmacist (and a bit of a label detective 👀), I always read the ingredient list on products — especially when it comes to baby skincare. Most wipes may look the same… but did you know some contain up to 9 ingredients, including fragrance and preservatives that can irritate delicate skin? 🧪 Today I did a Purity Test on 3 popular baby wipes. • Wipe A & C? Cloudy, foamy water = added surfactants • WaterWipes® (Wipe B)? Just 2 ingredients: 99.9% water + fruit extract = crystal-clear water 💧 That’s why WaterWipes® are the closest thing to cotton wool and water — and gentle enough for newborns. 👼✨ 📦 Next time you shop, flip the pack. Ingredients matter. Your baby’s skin deserves the purest care 💙 #ad @WaterWipes #WaterWipes #PharmacistApproved #BabySkincare #MumTips #SensitiveSkin #NewbornCare #IngredientCheck #HealthWithNyrah

Signs of LOW IRON most people ignore 🩸👇 Feeling tired no matter how much you sleep? Struggling to focus, getting dizzy, or short of breath during simple tasks? 🧠 These are classic signs of iron deficiency — and it’s more common than you think, especially in women. 🔍 Other symptoms include: • Pale skin or dark under-eyes • Brittle nails or hair thinning • Cold hands and feet • Restless legs at night • Fast heart rate or chest flutters If you tick a few of these, get your ferritin levels checked — not just your standard iron test. 💡 Low iron doesn’t just make you tired — it can mimic anxiety and even depression. #IronDeficiency #TiredAllTheTime #HealthTips #LowIronSigns #PharmacistApproved #HairLoss #Ferritin #WomensHealth #EnergyTips #AnemiaAwareness

Struggling with anxiety or low mood? You might be prescribed citalopram — an SSRI that boosts serotonin levels in the brain to help improve your mood. It can take 4–6 weeks to see full effects, and side effects like appetite changes, headaches, and sleep issues are common. Always speak to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns! #citalopram #citalopramjourney #anxiety #learnwithnyrah #pharmacy #pharmacist #medicineexplained #medicine #doctor #ssri #sertraline #fluoxetine #citalopramsideeffects

How to properly clean your vulva (from a pharmacist): Let’s clear this up — the vagina is self-cleaning. You don’t need scented soaps or fancy products. Here’s what you should do: ✔️ Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers like Cetaphil, QV Wash, or Epaderm Ointment (yes, it works as a soap substitute — apply like a wash, rinse off). 🚫 Avoid douching — it disrupts your natural pH and increases infection risk. 🧽 Replace loofahs weekly or avoid altogether — they trap bacteria. 💧 Feeling dry? Replens vaginal moisturiser is a great hormone-free option. 🪒 Shave smart — a double-head razor helps reduce ingrown hairs and bumps. Always wash outside only (the vulva, not the vagina) and stick to warm water and gentle care. #PharmacistTips #IntimateCare #VulvaHealth #WomenHealth #SkincareTips #FeminineHygiene #TikTokPharmacist #EducationalContent @Cetaphil @Epaderm

5 Vital Supplement Facts You Should Know #pharmacist #vitamins #medicine

MIRTAZAPINE FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW Feeling low, anxious or struggling to sleep? This medicine is often prescribed for depression, anxiety & even insomnia! It works by boosting serotonin & noradrenaline — your mood-regulating brain chemicals. But here’s what people don’t always tell you: • You’ll likely take it at night — it can make you very sleepy • It may increase appetite (hello late-night snacks) • Full effects take 4–6 weeks, but many feel better in 1–2 Not addictive, but always taper off slowly — and don’t stop without speaking to your prescriber!

What would happen if you took magnesium for just 2 weeks? 👀 You’d probably sleep better, feel calmer, and stop craving sugar nonstop. Magnesium powers 300+ processes in your body — from sleep and stress to digestion and hormone balance. Most people are deficient and don’t even know it. By day 14? You might finally wake up without feeling wired or tired. 🧠 But only if you take the right type (most people get it wrong). 💬 Comment “Advice” and I’ll tell you the best one for sleep, anxiety, and energy. #magnesium #magnesiumdeficiency #magnesiumglycinate

Strawberry legs? 🍓 Let’s fix that. You know those tiny dark dots on your legs that look like strawberry seeds? That’s keratin buildup, clogged pores, or ingrown hairs—and they don’t stand a chance once you know how to treat them 💅🏽 Here’s your smooth-leg survival kit 🧴👇 ✨ Exfoliate – Use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid 2–3x a week to unclog those pores. Physical scrubs? Only if they’re gentle! 🪒 Shave smarter – Always shave with the grain, use a sharp razor, and don’t skip shaving gel (no dry shaving here please 😩) 🚿 Warm water > Hot – Hot showers dry out skin, which can make it worse. 💧 Moisturise daily – Try creams with lactic acid or urea to smooth and hydrate. 🧼 Try a benzoyl peroxide wash if clogged follicles or folliculitis is the cause. 👩🏽‍⚕️ Pharmacist tip: If it’s stubborn, it might be keratosis pilaris or folliculitis—treatable, but might need targeted skincare or a prescription cream. 🧡 Don’t be embarrassed. Most people have it. And it’s so treatable once you know what’s going on.

Think your skin breakout is just acne? Think again. It might actually be a fungal infection — and treating it like regular acne will make it worse. 👇 🌀 Ringworm – not a worm! It’s a contagious fungal rash that forms a red, ring-like pattern. 🔥 Fungal acne – technically Malassezia folliculitis — tiny, itchy bumps often mistaken for pimples. 👣 Athlete’s foot – thrives in sweaty socks and gym showers. Cracking, peeling, and itching between toes? Classic sign. 🌫 Tinea versicolor – patches of lighter or darker skin, often on your back or chest, that won’t tan normally. ✅ Treat with antifungal creams or washes (like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide). 🚫 Don’t use steroid creams unless prescribed — they can make it worse. 💡 See your pharmacist or doctor for a diagnosis if unsure! #PharmacistExplains #FungalInfection #FungalAcne #Ringworm #AthletesFoot #TineaVersicolor #SkinEducation #PharmacyTips #tiktokdoc
