Wellness: Practical Tips on Meds, Supplements & Healthy Habits

Trying to stay healthy can feel overwhelming when every article promises a miracle. On this wellness page you'll get straight, usable advice about medicines, supplements, and everyday habits that actually help. No hype—just clear tips on when a drug or supplement makes sense, what risks to watch for, and simple changes you can use right away.

Start with safety. Before you mix anything—prescription, OTC, or a new supplement—check for interactions. For example, our atenolol article shows how some common OTC drugs change how beta blockers work. If you're taking statins and worrying about sleep, read the atorvastatin piece to decide whether morning or night dosing fits you better. Little timing changes can cut side effects without losing benefit.

Know your rescue options. If you have asthma or COPD, knowing how to use a rescue inhaler saves you trips to the ER. We cover albuterol basics, ProAir alternatives, and real tips for quick relief so you can pick the best option with your doctor. If a medication causes skin problems—like a rash after starting losartan—our practical guide explains how to spot allergic reactions and what steps to take immediately.
