Take Back Your Meds

Medications left in home medicine cabinets can be misused, abused, or disposed of by children or other family members, and can also be found by people who are seeking to commit drug crimes. Rates of prescription medication abuse are rising and the problem can be easily solved by safely disposing of unused medications at home.More info :www.takebackyourmeds.org

Twice a year — in April and October — the Drug Enforcement Administration hosts National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at thousands of sites across the country where prescription drugs and other controlled substances can be dropped off for safe disposal. The program is free and anonymous.

You can also use the DEA’s list of permanent Controlled Substance Public Disposal Locations to find a place to drop off unwanted medicines at other times of the year. Many of these locations also accept vaping devices and cartridges with lithium batteries removed (for safety reasons).

Medication Safety 101: Understanding Take Back Your Meds Initiatives

In addition to the DEA’s twice-a-year National Prescription Drug Take Back Days, CVS Pharmacy(r) participates in state and local take-back events at various community locations and offers in-store medication disposal units available during regular pharmacy hours at thousands of stores nationwide. These safe-disposal units are located in the Pharmacy Waiting Area and accept pills, liquids, creams, patches, inhalers, and other over-the-counter and prescription medicines.

Always read the medicine packaging to ensure proper disposal instructions. If the information is unclear, mix the medicine with an inedible substance – like dirt, kitty litter, or used coffee grounds – before placing it in your trash. You can also scratch out all personal information on pill bottle labels before throwing them away.

Launching a Health Blog

An embnet is a website that explores wellness, shares valuable health tips and inspires positive lifestyle changes. It can be operated by a fitness guru, nutrition enthusiast or healthcare organization to foster community support and connect with potential clients.

When launching a health blog, set clear goals to help guide the content development process and achieve success. These goals can be related to building readership, establishing your reputation as an expert or even monetizing the site.

To establish your authority in the health and wellness space, make sure that your blog is well-researched and contains accurate information. This will be especially important if you intend to monetize your health blog with ads. Additionally, your health blog should be updated regularly with relevant content that addresses the needs of your audience.

Mindful Living: Holistic Health Tips for a Balanced Lifestyle

Consider what your target audience wants to read and find out if you have a unique perspective on an existing topic. For example, if your healthcare practice has frequent interactions with patients, ask what they frequently ask questions about. This can be a great source of low-hanging fruit for health blog topics you know are relevant and will resonate with your readers.

For instance, the Cleveland Clinic’s health blog on preventing winter asthma attacks includes all of the standard information about why cold temperatures can be problematic for asthmatics but also offers tips and strategies to avoid an attack, such as keeping medication handy and wearing a mask when going outside. This makes the article more actionable and gives the reader a sense of empowerment over their condition.
