Debunked: Real Answers to Common Drug and Pharmacy Myths

Heard that a pill bought online is always fake? Or that a “natural” supplement has zero side effects? Those quick claims sound convincing, but they often miss key facts. This tag collects straightforward, evidence-based articles that cut through the noise—on meds, online pharmacies, and supplements.

You’ll find practical debunks across many topics. We break down how to safely buy Antivert (meclizine) online and point out red flags for fake vendors. We walk through what makes an online pharmacy like 365-medstore.com or Northwest Pharmacy legit or risky. We also look at common drug myths—how Wellbutrin and Lexapro really work, whether Armour Thyroid is safe, and realistic expectations for isotretinoin (Tretiva).

What this tag covers

Every post under "debunked" tackles one clear claim and tests it against real sources: FDA alerts, clinical guidelines, licensed pharmacy checks, and peer-reviewed data when available. Expect short, useful takeaways like:

  • How to spot an illegitimate online pharmacy (no prescription required, cryptic contact info, suspiciously low prices).
  • Which side effects are common vs. which are rare or exaggerated.
  • When a natural option like shallaki (Boswellia) might help and when it’s just marketing.
  • Safer alternatives to drugs like quetiapine, Zithromax, hydroxychloroquine, and metformin—what to ask your doctor.

How we check facts and what you can do

We don’t rely on rumors. We check regulatory sites, product leaflets, and quality seals from recognized bodies. For online pharmacies, we verify licensing and look for industry verification like NABP or VIPPS listings where available. For drugs, we compare claims against published studies and official prescribing information.

If something sounds off to you, here’s a quick checklist you can use: ask for a prescription, confirm the pharmacy’s physical address and phone number, compare prices to known trusted sources, and search for recent safety alerts about the product. When in doubt, call a pharmacist or your doctor before changing doses or switching meds.

Browse the tag articles for specific situations: buying Estrace online, alternatives to Pharmex Direct, risks of atenolol-chlorthalidone for gout, or whether garlic supplements really help heart health. Each post gives clear action steps so you can make a smart choice fast.

Excessive caffeine does not directly cause arrhythmias, although it can trigger episodes in certain people. Lastly, it's not true that all people with heart rhythm disorders exhibit noticeable symptoms, which is why regular check-ups are crucial.
