Medical Specialists® Pharmacy give away 1,000s of condoms for Sexual Health Week

Online Doctor and Pharmacy

Bury, Greater Manchester (PRWEB UK) 16 September 2014

Sexual Health Week began yesterday, running until the 21 September, and this year the focus is on emergency contraception.

The week-long campaign is one that has been proudly supported by Medical Specialists® Pharmacy for a number of years, and indeed this year is no different.

Run by the FPA (Family Planning Association) throughout England, Sexual Health Week is an annual health awareness event that aims to boost public understanding about the numerous sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and about all aspects of good sexual health in general.

Just like in previous years, Medical Specialists® are helping to support the campaign by giving away literally thousands of Skins Condoms to any patient who obtains sexual health products during the forthcoming week, such erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation treatment, a Clamelle chlamydia test kit, or emergency contraception like the Levonelle 1500 morning after pill.

Last year the spotlight was the XES We can’t go backwards campaign, the aims of which were to protect and promote sexual health and contraception services by fighting governmental budget cuts, policy changes, and more specifically the lack of easy access to contraception and sexual health services.

For 2014’s Sexual Health Week, the focus has shifted to emergency contraceptives, i.e. that awkward and frightening time…the morning after the night before when the couple possibly in the heat of the moment haven’t bothered to use a condom and/or other contraception might have failed.

For the event, the FPA recently conducted a survey involving more than 2,000 women throughout the UK to discover more about the myths that still exist with regards to emergency contraception and found that alarmingly, many women still are not using emergency contraception following unprotected sex or if their usual contraceptive method hasn’t worked.

As mentioned earlier, emergency contraceptive pills include Levonelle 1500, which if taken within three days (72 hours) of unprotected sex, will usually prevent pregnancy. However, women will need to speak to their doctor for more information about taking it within five days (120 hours) of having unprotected sex.

Levonelle 1500 contains a hormone called progestogen can be taken following unprotected sex or if a condom has accidentally come off or split, and is available right now from Medical Specialists® Pharmacy for just £22.50. Most women are eligible to take Levonelle but will need advice if prescribed certain medications, with the IUD potentially being more suited.

An emergency IUD is a tiny, plastic copper device placed into the uterus up to five days (120 hours) following unprotected sex, or within five days of the earliest time the woman may have released an egg. The downside is that it usually takes around 20 minutes to be fitted and can be uncomfortable for the woman to the extent a local anaesthetic may be required.

Alternatively, women can take ellaOne. This is a pill that contains ulipristal acetate and has to be taken within five days (120 hours) of having unprotected sex. Most women can take ellaOne but those with severe asthma, liver disease, or taking certain prescribed medicines or complementary medicines, may be more suitable for the emergency IUD.

The FPA have created a Sexual Health Week 2014 campaign pack comprising of posters and tons of useful information and advice about how health professionals can best discuss emergency contraception with patients.

Women should be aware that it is not an embarrassing thing having to request emergency contraception, it is a sign of being responsible, and the FPA and Medical Specialists® hope that more women feel confident and at ease enough to speak to their GP or local pharmacy about the different types of contraception suitable for them.

For further information you can go to medical specialists® website and contact our pharmacist by email or visit the FPA website for more information about sexual health.

(PRWEB) October 12, 2009

There’s little doubt that an alternative medicine like Ayurveda which is gaining popularity in the U.S. is likely to draw more Americans to try such alternative medicines, as Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with western medicine’s inability to deal with many chronic disorders and illnesses. Americans are more than willing to explore and see if an alternative medicine like Ayurveda, (http://www.ayurspavacations.com/packages.html) a traditional form of East Indian medicine that originated thousands of years ago, could offer suitable solutions for some chronic disorders or illnesses.

With over a fifth of American hospitals now offering some sort of alternative therapy along with conventional medicine, and medical schools embracing them, an astonishing 38 percent of adult Americans have used — and are continuing to use some form of complementary or alternative medicines (CAM), most of them without informing their physicians.

Americans spent .9 billion out-of-pocket on CAM in 2007 alone, U.S. health officials report. CAM includes medical practices and products, such as herbal supplements, meditation, chiropractic and acupuncture, which are not part of conventional medicine. “The bottom line is that Americans spend a lot of money on CAM products, classes or materials or practitioner visits,” Dr. Josephine P. Briggs, director of the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, said during a teleconference July 2009.

The main reasons Americans turn to alternative medicine is for pain relief and to contribute to their health and well-being, Briggs added. Briggs noted the survey was done to find out which areas of CAM warrant research by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The survey was done without regard as to whether any of these alternative or complementary approaches actually work, she said.

With the ever rising demand for such wellness therapies to offset life’s many stresses and health disorders that make life unbearable and make people age more quickly than they expect, DanGlobalMed, a medical tourism company is offering 12 great wellness programs at an Ayurvedic Spa Beach Resort in incredible India.

Focusing on improving people’s health, wellness and well-being, these 12 holistic programs are offered mostly as 14-day packages at a beach resort in Kerala, India, except for a 28-day slimming/weight loss program (http://www.ayurspavacations.com/slimmingweightloss.html). The packages are affordably priced and include the cost of the full therapy/treatment, hotel accommodation (single or double occupancy) and all three meals.

As a complementary therapy Ayurveda’s popularity in the U.S. is increasing. “There is a major push for study on Ayurveda in the United States,” says Dr. Daniel Furst, director of clinical research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, who led a study of rheumatoid arthritis to test combinations of allopathic and Ayurvedic treatments for rheumatoid arthritis to determine efficacy. “It (Ayurveda) (http://www.ayurspavacations.com/home.html) has been practiced for 3,000 years [in India]. No one will do it if it is garbage. It will gain credibility if adequately tested and will be used more.” No wonder Americans are spending billions on alternative medical treatments.

Dubbed “God’s own country” because of its green and scenic splendor, Kerala is the most apt location for an exotic Ayurvedic spa vacation, because this is where Ayurveda originated. The beach resort attracts guests from Europe, Russia and other parts of the world throughout the year.

Among the most popular programs is anti-aging or rejuvenation, (http://www.ayurspavacations.com/rejuvenationtherapy.html relaxation), body purification, spine and neck care and relaxation combined with stress management.

Ayurveda addresses the well-being of the entire person. Herbs and minerals, nutrition and purification, affirmative ways of living are a few of the ways in which Ayurveda treats not just the ailment but the whole person, emphasizing prevention of disease to avoid the need for cure.

Apart from the rejuvenation, relaxation and stress management therapies, the other programs are: spine and neck care, (http://www.ayurspavacations.com/spineandneckcareprogram.html) rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, insomnia, beauty care and weight loss.

Guests can begin the day with FREE yoga classes. Experienced Ayurvedic masseurs offer the benefit of the most genuine of Ayurvedic therapies and treatment, through massages, scrubs and wraps that help you overcome physical problems, while you drift into a tranquil and perfect environment. This is supplemented with oral medication every day.

As each program specifically focuses on the wellness of the individual it’s ideal for those who wish to combine their vacation with an exotic health care program like Ayurveda (http://www.ayurspavacations.com)/rejuvenationtherapyforoldagedisorders.html and yoga.

When Dr. David Eisenberg, MD, now Director, OSHER Institute, Harvard Medical School proposed a survey to determine the popularity of alternative medicines, while doing a research fellowship at Harvard Medical School as far back as 1993, “Nobody bought it, nobody paid for it, no foundation was interested. My mentors and I laugh about it now. [At the time, they] said, “Even if you do this and even if you show the numbers are large, no one will care…” But I think history would prove them wrong.

“But we were shocked by the time we got the data and I remember going home to my wife, almost shaking and saying, ‘Honey, the numbers are huge, it’s one in three Americans. It’s thirty-three percent of the United States adult population. It’s thirteen billion dollars, it’s not reimbursed. Very few of these people are ever discussing it with their physicians; this is enormous.'”

Renowned alternative practitioner Dr. Andrew Weil says: “If a therapy is not harmful, why not experiment with it? Why not try it? Especially if conventional medicine doesn’t have anything great to offer.”

The history of alternative medicine is a rather interesting one, and has its
origins in traditional methods of medicine. Alternative medicine has been
in existence since time immemorial. Being a primeval science, this medicinal
system has been known to man since the early days of his time on Earth. Using
natural ingredients to prevent and cure most illnesses has perhaps been man’s greatest foray into medical science. Traditional medical practitioners aimed at prevention of diseases associated with an increase in resistance of the human body. As an expert rightly pointed out, “The study of the history of alternative medicine is fascinating on a variety of levels, not just concerning other and often better ways of preserving and restoring health.”

Practised for thousands of years, alternative medicine includes systems like
Acupuncture, Ayurveda and traditional Asian medicine. Alternative medicine branches
out from the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) treatments and
therapies. CAM is often combined with formal, conventional medicine, integrating
both medical practices, in order to give the best results to patients. It can be said that
the earlier methods of medicine were attempted at achieving a balance between bodily
and natural energy. Energies were sought as positive and negative energies, where
positive energies were to bring in happiness and health and negative energies an
incapacitation of resistance to face any ailments. Matters of utmost importance in
deciding therapies or treatments in these earlier medical systems were factors like
one’s lifestyle, one’s habits of eating and one’s occupational pressures.

The earliest use of traditional remedies dates back to 2800 BC in China.
Practised all over the world in more than a hundred disciplines, alternative medicine
has aided medical tourism in an unprecedented manner. Using alternative medicine
and following alternative medical practices not only removes any possible additional
affects of the illness but also increases the resilience of the body. It is generally
claimed that natural remedies are not only less inimical to human physiology
but they also help in retaining body pliancy. Systems of natural, traditional
medicines use a combination of ingredients to restore the bodily constituents. In
fact, natural remedies are considered more as food, given their natural constituents.
Since alternative medicine is based on completely natural methods and there is
no usage of any chemicals, there is no danger of any interference with the organic
system. A holistic approach as opposed to looking at a set of symptoms and a
treatment that delves into the root-cause of an illness are some of the distinct and
highly acknowledged features of alternative medicine. It is also opined that
widespread use of modern medicine has deteriorated the immune system in the
human physiology and has resulted in these
