David Hernandez+FollowIs Your Sleep Aid Messing With Your Brain?Did you know that some common OTC sleep and allergy meds (like Benadryl and Unisom) could mess with your brain long-term? Docs say the ingredient doxylamine succinate can up your risk for memory loss and even dementia, especially if you use it a lot or for a long time. Occasional use is usually fine, but if you’re popping these regularly, it might be time to switch to newer antihistamines or try sleep tips like CBT-I and better sleep habits.

Donald Jones DDS+FollowUTI Relief Pills Linked to Cancer?!Did you know those cheap UTI pain relief pills might come with a hidden risk? The main ingredient, phenazopyridine hydrochloride, isn’t FDA-approved and has been tied to cancer in animal studies. Labels even warn about cancer risk, but most people (and even some doctors!) have no idea. If you’ve ever grabbed these for quick relief, it might be time to rethink your go-to.
