Blood Pressure Medication Being Studied to Treat PTSD

Sunday, November 21st, 2010

A Canadian researcher once lauded by Forbes as one of “Ten People Who Could Change the World” is pioneering experiments using a commonly prescribed blood pressure medication to dull the painful memories of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  Dr. Karim Nader of Montreal’s McGill University is attempting to reduce the emotional response generated by painful memories using the beta blocker propranolol. Propranolol (propranolol hydrochloride) has been on the market for over 40 years, marketed as Inderal or Inderal LA.

Nader and his team are not attempting to eradicate painful memories, but instead to lessen their emotional impact.  Years ago, Nader discovered that memory can be altered just by the very act of remembering – a process he dubbed “memory reconsolidation”.  He developed a technique he called “reconsolidation blockade” in which memories and the associated negative emotions are altered during the reconsolidation phase to lessen their unpleasant impact, reducing a traumatic memory to just a bad memory.

Top Selling Drugs for Hair Loss Treatment and Prevention

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Many people suffer from hair loss including both men and women of all ages. The general medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Alopecia however can thankfully be treated by a variety of different hair loss treatments, and are widely available from online Canadian pharmacies which stock both over the counter and RX or prescription drugs.

In men alopecia is caused by the effect of androgen hormones on hair follicles. This is generally a genetic disorder. In these hair follicles testosterone is converted into an androgen called DHT, which reduces the growth of new hair cells. This causes bald patches on the head and can lead to a distressing problem for many men and can happen at any age, but generally occurs in men over the age of 30.

For women the problem of hair loss can be far more embarrassing as hair is often one of the most feminine features of the female body. In many cases it is temporary, and the main cause of hair loss in women is stress.
But now for the good news, you can fight this upsetting dilemma with drugs from online Canada drugs and get your confidence back.

Nourkrin is a natural supplement available over the counter from online drug stores and Canadian pharmacies. It helps to prevent hair loss and promote natural hair growth.

Rogaine is another over the counter drug provided by online Canadian pharmacies and RX drug suppliers. Rogaine increases the size of the hair follicles and stimulates them to encourage hair growth and has proven results.

Propecia is a drug administered for balding in men, which is caused by hormone imbalance. It is an FDA approved drug which is proven to reduce baldness on the head and an anti-androgen. It decreases the amount of androgens (DHT) in the scalp, which are the hormones that hinder new hair growth. Clinical studies have shown Propecia 1mg to be most successful on the crown area of the head.

All of these drugs, as previously mentioned are readily available from online Canadian pharmacies, and any good pharmacies and online drug stores will have their license number on the main page so that you know they are 100% legal and can buy with confidence.

Osteoporosis is a disease that advances slowly. The disease causes the bones within the body to weaken and fracture. Bone density is gradually lost and the bones become more porous and brittle.

There are two types of osteoporosis, type one and type two. Type one, which most commonly occurs in women who have already gone through the menopause, is generally referred to as primary osteoporosis. It occurs due to a deficiency in oestrogen. Type two affects both men and women and is caused by a calcium deficiency in the body. Type two is also known to be caused by various surgeries and medications.

HIV Drugs and AIDs Medications Reduce the Risk of HIV Infection

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

HIV is one of the today’s biggest and most common killers, and has always been a huge problem worldwide. UNAIDS annual report however, released last week confirmed that the number of people reportedly contracting the disease has dropped by 19% since 1999.

HIV is the virus which causes AIDS, a terminal disease which deteriorates the immune system. This leaves patients vulnerable to many other diseases and infections which the body is unable to fight. The infection is considered a pandemic due to the huge numbers of people who contract the illness.

UNAIDS believes that one of the main reasons for the decline in HIV infections is due to people practising safer sex. Although the disease cannot be cured, there are certain HIV drugs which slow the virus allowing the patient to enjoy a longer life. These RX drugs are available from Canadian online pharmacies and are offered at low cost prices for your convenience.

Some of these drugs are designed to slow the growth of the HIV virus, including Atripla, Isentress and Rayataz and they are all available from online Canada pharmacy and offering cheap drugs, providing you the service of purchasing top quality drugs from the comfort of your own home. Raltegravir is the generic name for Isentress drug, which is the first FDA approved inhibitor of the HIV virus and works by obstructing the enzymes that the virus needs in order to grow.

Although these drugs are widely available to sufferers of the frightening virus, millions of people are still not getting the drugs that they need. The recommendation is to seek the advice of your doctor, as they can often prescribe RX drugs in order to help fight the virus within the body and add years onto your life.

The virus was first discovered in 1981, and since this finding until 2006, over 25 million people were found to be infected with the virus. The danger is that it spreads extremely quickly with the majority of infections being passed by unprotected sex, although it is also transferred through blood of a HIV infected patient coming into contact with an open wound, and mothers passing it onto their unborn children.

With the AIDs medications to slow the disease available from Canada pharmacies there is hope for infected patients to live a normal, healthy and fulfilling life.
