Many things can affect how quickly your medication is absorbed, but did you know your body position might make one of the biggest differences? (don’t worry: no handstands needed). Disclaimer: some medications have very specific instructions so always check with your prescription/label and/or prescriber or pharmacist before making any changes. Medications that should be taken sitting up to avoid them getting stuck in the esophagus include (not an all inclusive list): Bisphosphonates, tetracycline, antibiotics, nitrofurantoin, clindamycin, potassium, iron, vitamin C, aspirin, and NSAIDs. ##pharmaceuticals##medicaltiktok##pharmacy##pharmacist##healthtiphttps://me.jhu.edu/news/the-best-way-to-take-a-pill-according-to-science/

A question I get a lot: “How do you actually get a job at Poison Control?” As a pharmacist who currently works at a poison center, I’m walking through the education and experience typically required, how the training works, and what you need to know if you’re interested in this career path. It’s not a career most people hear about in pharmacy or nursing school, but one you should definitely know about if you like learning new things every day! Please note in the beginning of the video I said you have to be a nurse or pharmacist to work at poison control, but there are other healthcare professionals like doctors and PA’s who qualify as well, though they are usually in upper management and consulting positions. This video was more so meant to explain my role as a pharmacist answering the phones at poison control :) #pharmacytok #healthcarecareers
