May 2025 Health Articles – What We Covered

If you stopped by BosleyRx this May, you saw a blend of topics that touch on everyday health concerns. From blood thinners that keep hearts beating to drugs you might take if you’re pregnant or managing diabetes, the month’s posts aimed at giving clear, practical info.

Heart & Blood Safety

The first article broke down Plavix (clopidogrel) in plain English. It explained how the pill stops platelets from clumping, why doctors prescribe it after stents or a stroke, and what side effects to watch for. Readers got tips on talking to their pharmacist about interactions and learned when a missed dose really matters.

Next up was a look at anesthesia and post‑operative blood clots. The piece highlighted recent cohort research that linked certain anesthetic techniques with higher deep vein thrombosis rates. It didn’t just present the data—it gave actionable advice: stay mobile after surgery, ask about compression devices, and know the warning signs of a clot.

Pregnancy & Diabetes Insights

The pregnancy‑focused guide tackled isosorbide dinitrate, a nitrate often used for chest pain. We laid out what the limited studies say about its safety while nursing or carrying a baby, pointed out potential risks like low blood pressure, and offered practical steps—like timing doses around meals—to reduce side effects.

Finally, we compared Jardiance and Glipizide for type 2 diabetes. The article showed real‑world numbers on heart outcomes and weight loss, then walked readers through how to decide which drug fits their lifestyle. It also mentioned alternative options if either medication isn’t a good match, keeping the focus on personalized care.

All four pieces share a common thread: they aim to cut through medical jargon so you can make informed choices. Whether you’re asking your doctor about a blood thinner, planning post‑surgery recovery, deciding if a nitrate is safe for your newborn, or picking a diabetes pill that won’t add extra pounds, BosleyRx gave you the facts and next steps.

Looking ahead, we’ll keep digging into topics that matter to everyday people. Got a question about a drug you’re taking? Drop us a note and we might turn it into our next article.
