If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

symbicort

It's an inhaler corticosteroid and anti inflammatory often used for asthma but incredible for post infection cough.

If I'm ever sick and have a cough, this puts a stop to that symptom and recovery is so much faster. Don't even touch any over the counter cough medicine over this imo.

Yes, just incredible resource for various breathing issues. It really is a miracle drug in my eyes.

Very handy to have a corticosteroid in hand to smooth out some of these situations that woulf screw over someone without that at their chronic disposal

That could be a game changer for me! I'm using Advil Cold & Sinus to pop my lungs open as needed.

You are in for a treat, it (Symbicort) is efficacious as fuck for breathing issues/wheezing etc. Make the appointment

Edit: that's just ibuprofen + pseudoephedrine btw. Might be the vasoconstricting effect of pseudoephedrine
