If you popped by Now‑RX this April, you probably saw a mix of price checks, treatment breakthroughs, and fresh medication choices. Below is the quick‑hit rundown that saves you scrolling through each article one by one.
The Ventolin price guide broke down how generic inhalers stack up against the brand version in 2025. In Canada, a generic pack can be as low as $18, while the name‑brand still hovers around $45. The biggest savings come from checking provincial formularies and using insurance copays wisely – often you’ll get a 30% discount if you ask your pharmacist for the generic code.
We also compared other popular asthma inhalers like ProAir and Symbicort, showing that switching to a generic doesn’t mean you sacrifice effectiveness. Real‑world tips include buying in bulk during pharmacy sales and using online price‑match tools before you checkout.
Capecitabine’s new role in brain tumor treatment surprised many clinicians. The drug crosses the blood‑brain barrier better than older chemo agents, making it a viable option for patients who have run out of standard therapies. Side effects are similar to other oral chemotherapies – think mild hand‑foot syndrome and occasional nausea – but they’re manageable with dose adjustments and supportive care.
On the alcohol‑use front, Antabuse isn’t the only game in town anymore. Six alternatives emerged this year, ranging from newer disulfiram‑like pills to extended‑release naltrexone implants. If you’re looking for a less harsh daily routine, the monthly injectable form of naltrexone offers steady blood levels without the taste‑aversion tricks that Antabuse relies on.
Flu season isn’t waiting, and Zanamivir isn’t your only antiviral choice. We highlighted six substitutes, including oseltamivir (Tamiflu), baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza), and even high‑dose vitamin C protocols that some clinicians swear by. For people who can’t tolerate inhaled meds, oral antivirals provide the same 48‑hour window to curb symptoms.
Putting it all together, April’s posts give you a toolbox: compare inhaler prices before your next refill, ask your oncologist if capecitabine fits your brain tumor plan, explore newer AUD medications if Antabuse feels outdated, and keep a backup antiviral on hand for flu‑like weeks.
Remember, the best choice always depends on your health profile, insurance coverage, and personal preferences. Use these insights as conversation starters with your doctor or pharmacist – they’ll appreciate you coming prepared.
