Hives, or urticaria, are a common allergic reaction that affects at least 20% of individuals at some point in their lives. You’re not alone in this. They consist of slightly raised rashes, usually red but sometimes skin-colored, which may itch or burn. But what causes hives, and how can a medication like prednisone help you beat them?

What Are the Symptoms of Hives?

What Causes Hives?

Many allergens, such as medications, foods, or environmental triggers, can cause hives. Often, the exact triggers are not easily identified, but some common causes include:

How Are Hives Treated?

Fortunately, hives usually go away on their own, often within 24 hours, bringing a sense of relief. If the hives continue to cause discomfort, corticosteroids can be used to treat them.

Prednisone is one such corticosteroid, which is taken orally at 40 to 60 mg daily for five days. Common side effects include:

How Much Does Prednisone Cost?

Itchy rash and blisters—could it be scabies? In this article, we’ll cover what causes scabies, how it is diagnosed, and how it can be treated. If you’re wondering, ‘Do I have scabies?’ wonder no more. Let’s dive in.

What Causes Scabies?

An infestation of a microscopic mite, Sarcoptes scabiei, causes scabies. The mite burrows into the skin and lays eggs, which hatch into new populations of mites, causing red, blistering rashes. The rash is extremely itchy, and scratching can lead to bacterial infections. The blisters can crust over. Scabies can be passed on to others by skin-to-skin contact. Older individuals and patients with poorly functioning immune systems are particularly at risk.

Do I Have Scabies? How Is Scabies Diagnosed?

When scabies are suspected, a dermatologist can scrape off a skin sample and examine it under a light microscope for mites.

How Is Scabies Treated?

Scabies can be treated topically or with oral medications. Creams and lotions are applied from the neck down, left on for 8 to 14 hours, then washed off. Topical medications include:

When topical medications are ineffective, as can happen in AIDS patients or cases of widespread infestation, Stromectol (ivermectin), an oral medication, may be used. The number of doses given depends upon the severity of the case. It may be given on days 1, 2, and 8, days 1, 2, 8, 9, and 15, or on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 22, and 29. Safety has not been established in children or pregnant women.

A 60-gram tube of 5% permethrin cream costs around $20. Visit the GoodRx permethrin page to find the least expensive pharmacy near you and obtain a coupon.

Getting yearly flu shots is not just about lowering your own risk of illness, hospitalization, and death—it’s also a powerful way to protect those you care about, keeping them safe and healthy.

Are Flu (Influenza) Vaccinations Really Effective?

While flu vaccine effectiveness can vary from year to year, it’s important to note that in some years, the effectiveness is as high as 40% to 60%. This variation is due to factors such as the types of influenza virus that are most prominent during the flu season and how well the vaccine matches those virus types. Rest assured, the vaccine is designed to provide the best possible protection.

The virologists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) work tirelessly to predict which virus type is likely to be most prevalent in any given year. This proactive approach allows them to distribute the most effective vaccine, significantly reducing the incidence of infection and the severity of any infections that do occur.

During the 2018 to 2019 influenza season, the flu vaccine is estimated to have prevented:

Studies have shown that among influenza patients admitted to the hospital, those who were immunized were less likely to be admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).

The Flu Shot for Different Populations

Patients with Heart Disease:

Patients with Chronic Lung Disease:

Diabetic Patients:

Pregnant Women:

Older Adults:

Flu Shots: The Bottom Line

For optimal protection, the CDC advises all age groups to get their annual influenza vaccination. The ideal time to do so is around September or October each year. However, even if the new year has already begun, the influenza vaccine remains effective, as flu cases often persist until March.

People with major depressive disorder (depression) often feel sad and hopeless, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. In contrast, people with bipolar disorder experience both depressive episodes and periods of high energy and optimism. Let’s explore the main differences between bipolar disorder vs. depression.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (Depression)?

How Is Depression Treated?

Treatment for depression usually includes antidepressants and talk therapy. Common medications include:

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)

Increase serotonin levels in the brain to help cells communicate.

Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)

Increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine.

Atypical Antidepressants

Work in unique ways. For example, Trazodone increases serotonin levels and blocks certain brain receptors. It is used to treat insomnia and stabilize mood.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive disorder, includes periods of depression and episodes of extreme energy, optimism, and elevated mood called mania or hypomania. Symptoms include:

How Is Bipolar Disorder Treated?

Bipolar disorder is treated with medications that stabilize mood. Sometimes antidepressants are used, but they must be combined with other medications to prevent triggering manic episodes.

Mood Stabilizers:

Anticonvulsants:

Antipsychotics:

Although annoying and messy, a nosebleed (epistaxis) is rarely a serious medical concern. Let’s see how to stop a nosebleed and, if it’s more serious when to seek medical help for your condition.

What Causes a Nosebleed?

If you are in good health, your nosebleed might be caused by:

What Should I Do When My Nose Is Bleeding?

  1. Lean Forward: This prevents the blood from flowing down your throat and helps it clot in your nose.
  2. Pinch Your Nose: Gently pinch the soft part of your nose and breathe through your mouth. Hold continuous pressure for 10 minutes without checking if the bleeding has stopped.
  3. Apply Ice: To constrict blood vessels, use ice cubes packed in a washcloth or a small plastic bag. A bag of frozen vegetables will also work.

Remember, if the bleeding persists beyond 10 to 15 minutes, it’s time to seek medical help. Your physician or the nearest emergency room or urgent care facility is there to ensure your safety and well-being.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a prevalent and potentially severe condition that can lead to heart disease and other health complications. It’s crucial to understand that there are effective ways to lower your blood pressure and keep it under control. This guide is designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools to manage your blood pressure effectively.

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and written as two numbers, such as 120/80. The top number (systolic) measures the pressure when your heart beats, and the bottom number (diastolic) measures the pressure when your heart rests between beats.

What is Normal Blood Pressure?

A normal blood pressure reading for adults is below 120/80. Here’s a guide to understand blood pressure levels:

Are Blood Pressure and Weight-Related?

Yes, they are. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of high blood pressure. Body mass index (BMI) is a common way to assess whether you are overweight. A BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, and over 30 is considered obese. You can calculate your BMI using an online calculator.

How to Lower Blood Pressure with Diet and Exercise

  1. Eat a Healthy Diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. Reduce your intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sugar.
  2. Exercise Regularly: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, most days of the week. Physical activity helps lower blood pressure and manage weight.
  3. Reduce Sodium Intake: Too much salt can raise blood pressure. Aim for no more than 1,500 to 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day.
  4. Limit Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can raise your blood pressure. Limit it to no more than one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men.
  5. Quit Smoking: Smoking raises your blood pressure and damages your blood vessels. Quitting can improve your heart health.

Medications for High Blood Pressure

If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, your doctor may prescribe medication. Common types include:

How Can I Get a Prescription for High Blood Pressure Medicine?

These medications require a prescription from a healthcare provider. QuickMD can help you manage your hypertension through telemedicine, offering remote consultations and prescriptions.

What you’ll learn

We’ll walk through how Suboxone® works during pregnancy, how it compares to Subutex®, what to expect after delivery, and why getting treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is one of the healthiest decisions you can make for yourself and your baby.

If you’re pregnant and managing opioid use disorder (OUD), you might be wondering what’s safest for you and your baby. It’s a big question, and it’s okay to feel uncertain. The good news is that sobriety is absolutely possible, and with the right support, you can have a healthy pregnancy. 

Suboxone®, which contains buprenorphine, is a medication that’s widely used to treat opioid use disorder. It’s considered a safe and effective option during pregnancy when prescribed and monitored by a doctor. Getting stable on medication can protect both you and your baby by reducing the risks that come with untreated opioid use.

In this article, we’ll walk through what you need to know about Suboxone’s safety, how it compares to similar medications, and why treating OUD during pregnancy matters for both you and your child. 

What is Suboxone, and how does it support OUD recovery during pregnancy?

Suboxone combines two medications: buprenorphine and naloxone. 

During pregnancy, stability matters more than anything else. Untreated opioid use can cause repeated cycles of intoxication and withdrawal. Those ups and downs can stress both your body and your baby. Suboxone helps maintain steady medication levels. This consistency is especially important for your developing baby, who relies on steady blood flow and nutrients through the placenta.

Studies have shown that pregnant women who receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) are much more likely to stay on top of their prenatal health and less likely to experience complications related to relapse after giving birth.  

How does Subutex compare to Suboxone during pregnancy?

Subutex contains buprenorphine alone, without the added ingredient of naloxone. However, both Subutex and Suboxone provide the same core benefit: they reduce cravings and prevent withdrawal.

In the past, some doctors preferred buprenorphine-only products during pregnancy out of caution about naloxone. However, current evidence shows that both buprenorphine alone (Subutex) and the buprenorphine-naloxone combination (Suboxone) are generally considered safe during pregnancy when taken as prescribed.

In fact, several recent studies compared buprenorphine‑naloxone with buprenorphine alone for treating opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy. These studies found no meaningful differences in pregnancy or newborn outcomes between the two groups, and in some cases, concluded that buprenorphine‑naloxone was just as safe and perhaps even safer in pregnancy. This means buprenorphine‑naloxone is considered a safe and effective treatment option for OUD in pregnancy, and these findings support the use of buprenorphine-naloxone as the best treatment for OUD in pregnancy. 

It’s also important to note that consistency matters. During pregnancy, you’re dealing with a lot of physical and emotional changes. If a woman has been stable on Suboxone before pregnancy, staying on Suboxone during pregnancy is the safest option, and Suboxone should be continued throughout her pregnancy.

The best choice depends on your personal health history, your stability on medication, and a thoughtful conversation with your doctor. The most important thing is that you are receiving consistent, supervised treatment from a knowledgeable, caring doctor who listens to your concerns without judgment. 

Why treating opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy is important

Treating opioid use disorder during pregnancy helps protect both you and your baby. One of the key reasons is that it can reduce the risk of severe neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), a condition where newborns experience withdrawal symptoms. 

While NAS can still occur with medications like Suboxone or Subutex, it’s often milder and easier to manage than withdrawal from opioids like fentanyl or methadone. A study conducted by Stanford Medicine and Harvard University found that MAT with buprenorphine offered better outcomes for newborns than methadone. Getting treatment means you’re giving your baby a more stable start.

Symptoms of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)

If a baby has been exposed to opioids during pregnancy, they might show signs of NAS after birth. These can include:

It’s important to know that many cases of NAS are treatable. Early monitoring allows care teams to respond quickly and keep babies comfortable.

Is Suboxone safe during the first trimester?

If you’re pregnant and taking Suboxone, it’s completely normal to worry about your baby’s safety. Knowing the facts can help put you more at ease. A Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program, including Suboxone, is widely recognized as the safest approach for managing opioid use disorder during pregnancy, even in the first trimester. Continuing treatment under medical guidance is much safer than stopping abruptly or using street opioids, which carry much higher risks for you and your baby.

Potential benefits of Suboxone use during pregnancy

Suboxone can make a meaningful difference in your recovery journey during pregnancy. Here’s how:

Research backs this up. Studies show improved birth weights, fewer premature births, and shorter hospital stays for babies born to mothers on Medication-Assisted Treatment compared to those with untreated opioid use disorder.

Potential risks of Suboxone use during pregnancy

It’s important to be aware of potential risks, but keep in mind that Suboxone is much safer than continuing to use opioids like heroin or fentanyl. Here’s what to focus on and why it’s worth sticking with MAT during pregnancy: 

Breastfeeding while taking Suboxone 

If you’re considering breastfeeding while on Suboxone, it’s a decision worth discussing with your doctor. According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Drug and Lactation Database, “Naloxone is excreted into milk in very small amounts and is not detectable in the plasma of breastfed infants because of its very poor oral bioavailability. Routine use of naloxone in combination products (Suboxone) is of no concern during breastfeeding.” Many mothers on Suboxone breastfeed successfully with proper monitoring and support.

When breastfeeding might not be a good idea

There are some situations where breastfeeding while on Suboxone may not be recommended:

This is a personal decision, and your doctor can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your unique situation. With the right guidance, breastfeeding can be a healthy and rewarding experience for both you and your baby.

Important risk factors and precautions for pregnant patients on Suboxone

Taking Suboxone during pregnancy works best when you have a supportive care team guiding you. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Liver conditions and Suboxone treatment

During pregnancy, the liver plays a key role in processing nutrients and how they’re delivered to you and your baby.  If you have an existing liver condition and are taking Suboxone during pregnancy, it’s important to keep a few things in mind: 

Mental health and Suboxone

Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or past trauma may arise in those with substance use disorders. These deserve their own attention and treatment, which can work alongside your Suboxone plan. Pregnancy can be an emotional time, with a lot of different feelings bubbling up to the surface. Let your doctor know how you’re feeling. Addressing your mental health is part of caring for your whole self.

Previous pregnancy complications

If you’ve had complications in past pregnancies, share that history with your care team. It can help them tailor your treatment to support the healthiest possible outcome this time.

Planning ahead for delivery also makes a difference. Make sure your delivery team knows you’re on Suboxone so they can provide the best care for you and your baby during and after birth.

Will your baby experience withdrawal symptoms from Suboxone?

After birth, your baby will be monitored for signs of withdrawal. This is a standard precaution. It’s not because something is wrong, but because it helps ensure your baby gets the gentlest start possible. Many babies don’t experience severe symptoms, and if they do, the medical team is prepared to help them make their earliest days in the world more comfortable. 

Follow-up care

Your pediatrician may recommend a little extra follow-up care in your baby’s first few months. Think of it like added reassurance. Most likely, everything will be just fine, but regular check-ins help catch any small concerns early, so you can both feel supported.

Postpartum Suboxone treatment: adjusting to motherhood and recovery

And don’t forget about your own needs after delivery. Between midnight feedings, hormone shifts, and the beautiful chaos of caring for a newborn, the postpartum period brings new layers to recovery. Your treatment plan might need some adjustments to support you through this transition, and that’s completely normal. Your health matters just as much now.

What to expect when using Suboxone during pregnancy

If you’re taking Suboxone during pregnancy, you might wonder what the journey looks like. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more prepared and confident. Here’s a look at what many women experience during their sobriety journey during pregnancy. 

1. Regular monitoring

You’ll work closely with your doctor to make sure your Suboxone dose is just right for you and your baby. Routine prenatal visits help ensure you’re both thriving, and adjustments can be made along the way as your body changes.

2. Possible Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)

Some babies exposed to Suboxone during pregnancy may experience mild withdrawal symptoms after birth. It’s important to know that these symptoms are typically much milder than those caused by other opioids, and they’re manageable with supportive medical care. Your baby’s care team will be ready to help if needed.

3. A comprehensive care plan

While Suboxone is a helpful tool that offers greater stability in your recovery, this medication works best when it’s part of a bigger picture of care. That often includes counseling, peer support, and attention to your overall health. It’s about supporting you as a whole person.

Breast cancer is highly treatable if detected early, so women must follow simple steps each month to check for unusual breast tissue. Regular self-exams can help catch breast cancer in its early stages, making treatment more effective. Here’s a step-by-step guide on performing a breast self-exam.

How Do I Do a Breast Self-Exam?

  1. Choose the Right Time: Examine your breasts after your menstrual period or on a regular day each month if you are postmenopausal. Familiarity with your breasts’ normal appearance and feel is key.
  2. Visual Inspection: Stand in front of a mirror with your hands on your hips to tense your muscles. Lean forward and look for any dimpling (skin resembling an orange peel), lumps, spots, or painful areas. Some women find that doing this in soapy water can make differences more visible.
  3. Physical Examination: Lie down and use the opposite hand to feel each breast. Gently squeeze each nipple to check for any discharge or blood. Use the tips of three fingers to move around the breast in a circular motion, feeling for lumps, sensitive spots, or unusual warmth. Be sure to examine the entire breast, including the underarm area.
  4. Report Findings: If you notice anything unusual, immediately report it to your physician.

How Often Should I Get a Clinical Breast Exam?

Many family doctors and gynecologists recommend manual examinations every 1 to 2 years during routine check-ups or pap smears.

What Happens During a Mammogram?

Physicians often recommend mammograms for women aged 40 and over every 1 to 2 years until at least the age of 75. Mammograms are performed at imaging centers, similar to X-rays. During the procedure, your breast is placed between two pieces of plastic and slightly squeezed to take an internal picture.

Although there might be some short-lived discomfort, you can help minimize it by avoiding caffeine that morning and not using deodorants or skin creams, which can blur the image.

Breast Cancer Early Detection: The Bottom Line

Prevention is key. Perform self-exams and visit your doctor regularly for check-ups. Early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes. Do it for yourself and your loved ones.

“Surely, there’s a better way to take care of myself.” Practically every woman has thought this at some point, frustrated by the hurdles of scheduling appointments, navigating healthcare systems, and waiting for treatments. Good news: thanks to telemedicine, those hassles can now be a thing of the past. 

This revolutionary approach to women’s health offers an easier, more convenient way to achieve health goals, whether you’re managing a business, a household, or both.

Why Is Quality Women’s Healthcare So Challenging to Access?

For some women in America, the struggle is simply finding a healthcare provider. They live in healthcare deserts with limited access to physicians. While much focus is on the lack of maternity care, even non-pregnant women face difficulties finding convenient gynecological care.

For those not in healthcare deserts, the challenges lie in fitting medical care into busy schedules. Just because many doctors are available doesn’t mean the right one is easy to see. 

Women deserve doctors who prioritize their health, not ones rushing from patient to patient to manage expensive brick-and-mortar practices.

QuickMD is thrilled to announce a better way for women to manage their health: telemedicine. Here’s how QuickMD helps women avoid common healthcare pitfalls and non-patient-centered care:
