nheath+FollowTwice-a-Year HIV Prevention Is Here!Big news: the FDA just approved Yeztugo, the first HIV prevention shot you only need every 6 months. Imagine ditching the daily pill and getting protection that lasts half a year! In trials, over 99.9% of people stayed HIV negative. This could be a total game-changer for folks who struggle with daily meds or want something more discreet. Could this finally help close the gap in HIV prevention? #HIVPrevention #FDAApproved #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowFDA’s Fast Pass: New Drugs on the Express Lane?Heads up: The FDA just announced a new 'fast pass' for drug companies working on what they call 'national priorities.' Translation? If a medicine is seen as important for Americans, it could hit pharmacy shelves in just 1-2 months instead of the usual 10. This could mean quicker access to breakthrough treatments, but it also raises eyebrows—will speed come at the cost of safety? Keep an eye out for new meds popping up faster than your morning coffee brews! #FDA #HealthNews #DrugApproval #Business #Industry1813Share
William Vasquez+Follow‘Razor Blade Throat’ Is the New COVID Symptom?!Apparently, there’s a new COVID variant called Nimbus making the rounds, and people are saying it feels like you’re swallowing razor blades. Yep, “razor blade throat” is trending because this strain is all about that super sharp, painful sore throat. Docs say it’s not more dangerous, just extra uncomfortable. If you catch it, think honey, lozenges, and saltwater gargles. Anyone else suddenly hyper-aware of their throat? #COVID19 #NimbusVariant #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth910Share
rachel60+FollowAre Poo Pills Really Safe?Faecal transplants (aka poo pills) are trending for gut health, but new research says they might not be as harmless as we thought. If the donor’s microbes don’t match your gut, it could mess with your metabolism and immune system—possibly for the long haul. Scientists are now looking at smarter ways to balance our gut bugs, like using microbes from all parts of the intestine. Gut health revolution or risky business? #GutHealth #Microbiome #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth60Share
Allison Bauer+FollowCould This $25 Shot End HIV?A new HIV-prevention shot, lenacapavir, is about to hit the US, and get this: researchers say it could be made for just $25 a year! But the pharma giant behind it might charge up to $25,000 instead. Activists and experts are calling out the huge markup, saying affordable access could actually end the HIV pandemic. Imagine if a life-saving drug was finally cheap enough for everyone who needs it. Will Gilead step up or stick to sky-high prices? #HIVPrevention #HealthNews #BigPharma #Health #BodyHealth8639Share
Annette Young+FollowWeight Loss Jabs: Not the Magic Fix?Turns out those viral weight loss jabs like Wegovy and Mounjaro aren’t working as well in real life as they did in clinical trials. A new study found people lost way less weight with the meds compared to surgery—like, 5.7% vs. 26.5% after two years! Cost, side effects, and sticking with the treatment might be why. If you’re considering your options, real-world results might not match the hype. #WeightLoss #HealthNews #GLP1 #Fitness102Share
Sarah Bennett+FollowContraceptive Pill & Brain Tumor Link?Just saw this study linking long-term use of the desogestrel contraceptive pill to a slightly higher risk of a non-cancerous brain tumor (meningioma). The risk is still super low—like 1 in 17,000 after 5+ years—but it’s something to keep in mind if you’ve been on it for a while. The good news? The risk drops if you stop taking it, and another pill, levonorgestrel, didn’t show the same risk. Worth chatting with your doc if you’re concerned! #HealthNews #WomensHealth #ContraceptiveAwareness #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Melanie James+FollowThat 'Razor Blade' Throat? It’s Covid!Anyone else hearing about this new Covid ‘Nimbus’ variant? Docs are saying it’s spreading fast and comes with a super painful sore throat—like swallowing razor blades. Ouch. Other symptoms: fatigue, cough, fever, muscle aches, and even tummy troubles. The good news? Vaccines still work and it’s not more severe than past variants. If you get that crazy sore throat, rest up, hydrate, and maybe keep some painkillers handy. Stay safe out there! #CovidUpdate #NimbusVariant #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth63Share
Lori Elliott+FollowTylenol’s Secret Superpower UncoveredTurns out Tylenol doesn’t just block pain in your brain—it actually stops pain before it even gets there! Scientists found that acetaminophen (the stuff in Tylenol) creates a compound called AM404, which shuts down pain signals right at the nerves. This could mean future painkillers that work better and have fewer side effects. Who knew your go-to headache fix was working overtime? #Tylenol #PainRelief #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth11160Share
shermandarlene+FollowGame-Changer for Pancreatic Cancer?A new blood test called Avantect is being trialled in the UK, and it could totally change how we catch pancreatic cancer. Right now, this cancer is super hard to spot early, but Avantect can detect early signs in people with new type 2 diabetes (a major risk factor). Early results show it’s 68% accurate for early detection and 97% for ruling it out. If this works, thousands could get diagnosed way sooner—when treatment actually works! #HealthNews #CancerResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth856Share
