When you take a medication, a substance used to treat, cure, or prevent disease. Also known as drug, it can do more than fix one problem—it can trigger another. In October 2025, our most-read articles focused on how common prescriptions like statins, beta blockers, and antipsychotics can cause unexpected harm when mixed with food, alcohol, or other pills. It’s not about fear—it’s about knowing what’s really in your medicine cabinet.
Drug interactions, when two or more substances affect each other’s behavior in the body. Also known as medication interactions, they’re behind many hospital visits. Grapefruit and statins? That combo can spike muscle damage risk. Alcohol with atenolol? It drops your blood pressure too far. These aren’t rare cases—they’re predictable, preventable, and happening right now. And it’s not just about what you take—it’s about what you don’t know. The Orange Book, the FDA’s official list of generic drugs approved as therapeutically equivalent to brand-name versions. Also known as Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, it’s the tool pharmacists use to swap pills without asking you. But if you don’t understand TE codes, you might think your generic is identical when it’s not. That’s why we broke down how substitutions work—and when they don’t.
Blood pressure, the force of blood pushing against artery walls. Also known as hypertension, it’s one of the most common chronic conditions shows up in nearly half these posts—not just as a target to treat, but as a cause of other problems. High blood pressure damages your eyes, your kidneys, and even your bones. Medications like lisinopril help, but they’re risky during pregnancy. Amiloride and furosemide work better together than alone. And if you’re taking diuretics, you need to know which ones can cause dehydration or electrolyte crashes. We didn’t just list side effects—we showed you how to spot them before it’s too late.
