What doesn't help your health? Clear answers on meds, risks and better options

Ever tried a treatment that promised a lot and delivered nothing? The "what doesn't" tag collects practical posts that cut through hype and tell you when a drug, strategy, or online vendor is worth skipping — and what to try instead.

Where this tag helps

Use these posts when you want to know if a medication or approach really works. For example, our Crestor piece explains when rosuvastatin is truly useful and when lifestyle changes or different statins make more sense. The Montelukast and Zithromax articles point out realistic alternatives and why switching matters. If a drug causes bad side effects — like sulfasalazine-related nausea or prednisolone’s risks — the guides show simple fixes and when to ask your doctor to change treatment.

Shortages happen too. The Plaquenil Shortage 2025 article lists safe medication swaps for people who can’t get hydroxychloroquine right now. And for anyone wondering about ED meds, the Vardenafil alternatives post lays out other options, both medical and natural, so you can pick what actually fits your life.

How to use these posts safely

Start by reading the short summary at the top of any article. If it mentions safety checks, interactions, or dose conversions (like the Bystolic-to-Metoprolol guide), follow those steps before changing anything. Need to buy meds online? Read the online pharmacy reviews first — the RocketRX.com and driadashop.to reviews tell you what to look for and red flags to avoid. Our buying guides for Zithromax, Prochlorperazine, and Valtrex explain legal and safety steps so you don’t get counterfeit or dangerous products.

Quick checklist you can use right now:

- Don't switch or stop prescription meds without talking to your clinician. Conversion guides (Bystolic ↔ Metoprolol) are technical and must be supervised.
- If a drug makes you sick (nausea, dizziness, mood changes), read the side-effect article related to that drug — like sulfasalazine or prednisolone — then call your prescriber.
- When an item is hard to find, check trusted alternatives (Plaquenil, Flagyl, Stromectol pieces list options) and ask your specialist which swap fits your condition.
- Buying online? Verify pharmacy licensing, look for real reviews, and avoid vendors that refuse prescriptions.
