     I always tell you, my dear readers, that "health is wealth" and we must take good care of our family's health as early as possible. I have a dialysis patient father who neglected his health because he just doesn't care about his lifestyle before. He's diabetic for more than fifteen years and yet still living an unhealthy lifestyle that time. Fast-forward today, he is reaping what he sow. Five years on dialysis is so hard but manageable as long as you have the resources and patience.  But life must go on because dialysis is the only way to prolong his life aside from kidney transplant that in my opinion has more risk. 

     Anyhoo, I just want to share in this blog post the natural and alternative products that I'm currently taking. Take not that I'm not encouraging everyone to try this too because it's still important to consult your doctor before taking any kind of food supplement or alternative products especially if you're under medication.

Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy's Health and Wellness Space Launch

     Health is wealth, a phrase that we always hear from our family, friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors whenever they sense that we are showing signs of tiredness, weakness, and starting to get sick because of work and unhealthy lifestyle. We always resort to medications like over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and medicines prescribed by our doctor.

     There are times that taking these oral supplements and prescription medicine may bring harm to use if we don't know the exact dosage that our body needs. We have different body types, and not all prescribed medicines that we take will give the same effect if for example we break a tablet of paracetamol because we only need a small dose and it's not available in the nearest pharmacy. Enter, Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy. More details why you should consider compounded medicines in order for you or your loved ones to easily comply on maintenance medicines and other health and wellness products below!

Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy's Health and Wellness Space Launch

     Apotheca is the pioneering specialty compounding pharmacy here in the Philippines. They formally launched their Makati wellness space that offers a wide variety of products that promote wholesome wellness, over-all health and local goodness.

     Thank you so much Apotheca for having me. I learned a lot on compounded medicine and now I have an idea on what to consider for my father who takes maintenance medicine. Aside from this, I also suffer from different body pains and I may resort to compounding my over-the-counter oral pain medicines to topical gels at Apotheca so that I'll also prevent myself of ingesting paracetamols and NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil) that will have side effects inside my body in long-term use.
