Atlantis Expedition: Science Division Departments - Life Sciences Department
We're a bit further from the original post, having already done the medical department, so now it's time for the Life Sciences.
Much like the medical department, the notes for this underwent significant revision (nearly entirely re-done), to better granulate expectations for the department's duties and how they interact, primarily, with the medical department. Below is the original estimation, with struck text indicating revisions:
> Head: OC > Contains: Earth biologists, bio- & biochemical engineers, astro/xeno-biologists, botany, environmental chemistry, zoology, microbiology > Function: Auxiliary to Medical Department needs > Examples of function: pharmaceutical synthesis, analysis of unknown species, biological database creation, gene therapies (pharmaceutical adjacent) > Personnel quantity: 1 (Head) + 2 (Earth biologists) + 2 (bioE & biochemE) + 1 2 (astro/xenobio) + 1 (botany) + 1 (envchem) + 1 (zoo) + 2 1 (microbio) = 11 > Personnel quantity: 1 (Head) + 1 (physiologist) + 1 (geneticist) + 1 (astrobiologist) + 1 (xenobiologist) + 1 (microbiologist) + 1 (botanist) + 1 (zoologist) + 1 (biomedical engineer) + 1 (biochemical engineer) + 3 (medical laboratory scientists) = 13 > A/N: Both biologists also have training/specialization in genetics/gene mapping (assists both Carson and Katie), some input in requesting gate missions based on in-house needs > A/N: Focus is on medical logistics and supporting Medical Department needs, research parameters fulfill SGC outlines of studying microevolutions and drug technology development.
Following on the parameters of 1) putting people through the inter-galactic theoretical shredder is expensive, and 2) said gate shredder will only be open for a certain amount of time, the vast majority of this department's work will be geared toward the analysis, creation, testing, and preparation of pharmaceutical drugs and other inventions of medical context.
Think compounding pharmacy but better equipped, and capable of researching new things - this department specializes in medical logistics. Wikipedia has a better description of this, so I'll pull a quote:
Medical logistics is the logistics of pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical supplies, medical devices and equipment, and other products needed to support doctors, nurses, and other health and dental care providers.[1] Because its final customers are responsible for the lives and health of their patients, medical logistics is unique in that it seeks to optimize effectiveness rather than efficiency.
As with most things contrived by the SGC, there's going to be a lot of blended specialties and overlap, heavily bolstered by technological innovation. These are people Carson Beckett likely hired, or at least had a heavily-weighted opinion when Rodney was going through the application packets, because the Life Sciences is at a one-step remove from actually handling patients, and handles a significant amount of labwork and research.
The revised numbers weigh heavily in favour of biologists, due to the sheer breadth and depth of the subject, and the fact that most of these are likely to have some sort of SGC training that would make them well-versed on what to expect on the expedition in terms of disease research and thus treatment solutions.
Unlike the medical department, which handles patients directly in different aspects, this is all one "team". If you're looking for a group of scientists that can technically have the same generic appellation that would make one of them go, "Well, actually-", this is the place to look.
On to the breakdown, notes included:
> Earth biologists  » 2x of these  » Specialties?   ⇛ Human physiology (academic rather than medical context)   ⇛ May function as a knowledge base to study how the physiology of the expedition changes by long-term habitation in Atlantis, assists in studying long-term effects of the ATA gene therapy, development of knowledge base as Earth-based physiology changes in reaction to Pegasus galaxy habituation (exposure to local diseases, eating of local foods, etc)   ⇛ Geneticist   ⇛ Same as the human physiologist, but in a genetic context   ⇛ Studies genetic drift of the expedition and builds knowledge base for comparisons of baseline to genetic mutations that build up over time > Astro/xenobiology  » 2x of these   ⇛ 1 of each  » SGC special  » Studies the species and speciation of non-human humanoid species   ⇛ Imports from studying the Jaffa, Goa'uld, and Replicators (xenobiologist in particular)   ⇛ Overlap with parasitology and immunology/histocompatibility (Goa'uld and Jaffa, respectively) > Microbiology  » "Most microbiologists specialize in a given topic within microbiology such as bacteriology, parasitology, virology, or immunology."  » Studies the species and speciation of bacteria, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites and their vectors > Botany  » Study of species and speciation of plant species  » Outline of botany > Zoology  » Study of species and speciation of non-human animal species  » Outline of zoology > Biomedical engineer  » REVAMP from bio-engineering  » Actually makes the pharmaceuticals based on the feedstocks and processes biochem engineers designed for them   ⇛ Works with biochem engineers to feedback on the design process of drug manufacturing   ⇛ Biologics as well as inert (in comparison) materials for drug development   ⇛ Pharmacology    ⟹ Most likely all drugs are powdered for shelf-stability and ease of transportation     ⭆ So their responsibility in this would be referencing the SGC formulary (how many books to a Frasier) on reconstituting these drugs      ➾ Compounding     ⭆ What about topical prescriptions? Gel-based? Powder for gels, as well      ➾ More complex formulation     ⭆ What about gases, for sedation?      ➾ Probably compressed canisters? > Biochemical engineer  » Would not have existed in the early 2000s as a field related to process engineering, so an SGC special  » Also useful for researching food preservation methods  » Synthesizes information from peers in this department to create pharmaceutical drugs and their manufacturing process > Medical Laboratory scientist  » Does the legwork of processing samples for everyone, so needs a wide range of skills   ⇛ 3x of these   ⇛ Specialties    ⟹ Immunology/histopathology/hematology     ⭆ Human tissues    ⟹ Microbiology/bacteriology     ⭆ Bacterial forms of infection    ⟹ Virology/mycology/parasitology     ⭆ Non-bacterial forms of infection      ➾ Routes of non-bacterial infection > Environmental chemistry  » Role covered under biochem engineering  » Biochem engineers can cover the study of pollution that envirochems specialize in
Environmental chemistry section preserved to properly annotate the revisions, and what their original role was supposed to be (i.e. study pollution to solve Earth's pollution issues).
It occurred to me, while revising personnel lists, that the biologists in particular will need to divide their research into some broad categories, if they want to properly develop their research topics and what category of formulations they would require from the non-biologists in the department.
We have human species, yes, but that can be parsed from Milky Way to Pegasus galaxies, and from there Earth-based humans vs Jaffa (vs Goa'uld), and Pegasus-based humans (presumably humans, as they probably wouldn't know for sure that the Ancients were the default sentient or even default humanoid species in the Pegasus galaxy).
The human microbiome is incredibly important to understanding homeostasis, disease pathology, and various other interconnected factors. Because of this, the medical laboratory scientists will be heavily relied upon to develop cultures for study. I'm willing to believe that they have some nifty adapted technology to help them study all of these subjects I've shoved under multiple umbrellas, in the form of culturing processes, reagents, microscopes, analyzing software, preserving agents/methods, and the like.
After that, testing to see how these diseases - or potential diseases, if someone in the Pegasus galaxy hosts a bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite that their immune system is natively robust to - might infect a member of the expedition. This is where a lot of back-and-forth would be done between the Life Sciences and Medical departments, so it wouldn't be uncommon to see people like, say, Biro (pathology) and Katie Brown (botany) jointly doing research on a pathogen.
There's already a lot of canonical evidence to support this specialist overlap being a necessary concern, from the the Hoffan drug (and the subsequent Michael arc), John Sheppard's infection from an Iratus bug bite in Conversion, Asurans, Lucius' drug, the crystals of M3X-387, Kirsan fever, Jennifer Keller's infection from something that was turning her into a Wraith hiveship in The Seed, and the Second Childhood parasite.
Depending on the type of infection, a lot of the personnel in this department will coordinate with each other to develop a knowledge base, including potential therapeutic remedies. If something already in stock cannot be used (see: a potential cross-applicability of penicillin), then they might make a request to the head of the expedition for a gate team to travel based upon any information they might have (ex: Teyla and Ronon going out for samples of the Enchuri plant for treating Kirsan fever).
Because of their support role as a department, the fact that all the scientists here can be used as in-house reference for the medical department, and their unique position to recommend gate missions for consideration on the roster, this department functions well as a bridging gap for the various demands the expedition has placed on them by the IOA and the SGC.
Total Life Sciences Department Personnel
Head of Department: 1
Biologists: 5
Engineers: 2
Laboratory Scientists: 3
Botany: 1
Zoology: 1
Total total: 13
I'll be going over canonical personnel such as Katie Brown in their own posts, but for now this is a general accounting of the expedition’s life sciences department.

Benefits of neem for skin
Native Neem Product information
 What is Neem?
Neem (Azadirachta Indica) is a tree native to India. It grows in abundance and has been used for farming, human medicine and animal care for centuries. It is still considered the village pharmacy for many in India. The leaves of the tree are formed into powder, which can be taken as tea or turned into paste with a slight mix of water and used for various skin applications. The Neem seeds are churned and turned into oil which becomes the base ingredient for many natural agricultural products such as; Neem Insecticide, Neem Fertiliser. It is also the base ingredient for many medicinal health and beauty products such as: Neem Body Oil, Neem Hair and Body Wash, Neem Cream, Neem Soap and many more.
Medicinal Use of Neem
According to the ancient science of Ayurveda, neem is the king of all medicinal herbs. Foundational Ayurvedic texts describe how neem treats skin disorders, hair problems, enhances appetite, boosts digestion, kindles the fire in the belly, improves breathing, helps manage diabetic conditions, aids healing of wounds and relieves nausea. Neem has been declared the “Tree of the 21st century” by the United Nations. The US National Academy of Science also recognized neem’s medicinal value in its 1992 report entitled “Neem: A tree for solving global problems.” Here are some key medicinal uses of neem:
Neem In Human Healthcare
Neem was considered as indispensable part of the traditional Indian medical system from time immemorial. The three traditional medical systems of India Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha even today use various parts of neem tree for diverse preparations of medicines. Today Science is recognizing and proving the effects of this wonder tree. Neem can cure more than forty diseases major and minor. The greatest use of Neem in the future will be in the pharmaceutical industry. At a time when the pharmaceutical industry is concerned about the rising costs, lack of new leads from synthetic and combinatorial chemistry, re-visiting the medicinal properties of neem can play a major role for source of new drug leads. Transforming these types of drugs into Western prescription pharmaceuticals presents major opportunities together with some unique challenges. Neem possesses an enormous structural and chemical diversity unsurpassable by any other plants. Neem evolutionally optimized as drug-like molecules and it represents the richest source of novel molecular scaffolds and chemistry, can lead to the unbiased discovery of novel targets.
Use of Neem on Skin:
Neem oil contains fatty acids, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds, and these can benefit the skin in a range of ways. Research shows that these compounds may help fight skin infections, promote wound healing, and combat signs of skin aging.
The neem tree is chock-full of chemical compounds that have been found to be hugely beneficial. From the neem bark to the neem leaves and even the flower, fruit, seed and root – all parts of the neem tree have found widespread use in curing various ailments. According to established research, neem has free radical scavenging properties due to being a rich source of antioxidants and is also effective in the management of cancer through the regulation of cell signalling pathways’ also plays a role as an anti-inflammatory substance via regulation of pro-inflammatory enzyme activities including cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes External medicinal uses of Neem is for the treatment of dermatological disorders like psoriasis, herpes, eczema, purities, and acne vulgaris, inflammatory condition, infected wounds, abscesses and ulcer, ophthalmic care, ear infection and sinusitis, alopecia and hair care, snake bite and scorpion sting, rheumatic pain, gout, etc.
Internally Neem is used for dental hygiene, for treating malaria and filaria, typhoid, digestive disorders, liver disorders, intestinal worms, hepatitis, splenomegaly, respiratory disorders, tuberculosis, urinary disorders, gynaecological problems, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, leprosy, leukoderma, allergies, etc., infectious diseases such as smallpox, chicken pox, and measles, vaginal disorders, sexually transmitted infection.
Benefits of neem for skin
Tumblr media
Reduces early signs of ageing:
One of the most important benefits of neem is its anti-ageing characteristics. It is known for reducing wrinkles, fine lines and also maintaining moisture levels.
Neem guards the skin against harmful UV radiation, pollution and other environmental causes because of its antioxidant capabilities. Vitamins and fatty acids present in neem help to retain skin suppleness and diminish wrinkles and fine lines. (Use pure neem oil and use neem based shampoo, cream and soap and take neem capsules or power internally)
Treats acne:
The antimicrobial qualities present in the neem help to reduce acne. It clears up outbreaks and also calms itchy skin. It can be trusted to treat acne because it includes ingredients that fight acne-causing germs.
The best part is that neem accomplishes all of this without causing your skin to become dry. One of the most effective remedies for acne scars is neem treatment. The anti-inflammatory properties of neem assist with hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.(use Native neem Acne pack for treating your acne)
Treats Head lice:  
Neem oil has been shown to rid the body of head lice in three very important and distinct ways. First, Neem contains hormone mimics that interfere with the life cycle of parasites. Secondly, Neem inhibits the parasite’s ability to feed, giving rise to the term antifeedant. (use native neem head lice pack to treat head lice)
Prevents skin infections: 
(use with pure neem oil and neem based product externally and take neem  leaf powder or capsules internally)
Purifies the blood:
(take neem capsules or Neem leaf powder regularly)
Neem for dry skin:
Neem products are often recommended with skincare and beautification routines to address dry skin and wrinkles. The antioxidants reduce the formation of melanin in your skin, which helps to cure your skin tone. It also helps to minimise your dark spots, dry skin and redness on the skin.
Neem for glowing skin:
Glowing skin is usually healthy and moisturised skin. Neem oil is useful for treating and preventing indications of ageing such as wrinkles and skin thinning.
Neem for clearing skin infections: Neem oil is the most used natural oil that is used to cure a variety of skin disorders including infections and acne. Apply a tiny amount of diluted neem oil to the affected skin as a spot therapy to get rid of skin infections.
Allow the oil to sink into the skin for a few minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. Through this neem medication, you can cure various skin infections like septic sores and infected burns. Boils, ulcers and eczema can also be treated with the help of neem oil and neem soap.
Neem for Eczema and dermatitis:
Neem oil is derived from the fruits and seeds of the neem plant, and it can potentially help with eczema symptoms. Research has shown that it may destroy free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, both of which drive the inflammatory process in conditions like eczema. (Use native neem Eczema pack and use neem based products)

Effective Home Remedies for Toothache Pain
Tumblr media
Cl oil is an age-old remedy often used to relieve toothache pain. Clove oil a compound called eugenol which has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help numb area and reduce swelling. use this remedy, saturate cotton ball with clove oil and place it directly on sore tooth or gums. Leave it there for up to 15 minutes before spitting out any excess solution. You can also purchase over-the-counter topical clove oil preparations from your local drugstore or pharmacy.
Be sure to read directions carefully when using these types of products as they may cause irritation if left on too long. Some people may experience an allergic reaction to clove oil, so be sure to test it on a small area of skin before applying directly to the affected tooth or gums. Finally, clove oil should not be used as an ongoing remedy for more than a few days at a time due to its strong flavor and potentially irritating properties. If symptoms persist, contact your dentist.
Saltwater rinse is another popular remedy for relieving toothache pain. Salt acts as an antiseptic, helping to reduce swelling and kill bacteria that may be causing infection in the mouth. To make a saltwater solution, simply add one teaspoon of table salt to 8 ounces (1 cup) of warm water.
Swish this mixture around inside your mouth for about 30 seconds before spitting out any excess liquid. This treatment can be repeated several times a day until symptoms subside. You may use saltwater as an oral rinse to clean the affected area after brushing and flossing.
Ice can also be used to relieve toothache pain. Apply a cold compress or ice pack directly against the affected area for 15 minutes at a time. Doing this will help numb the area and reduce inflammation in the gums and teeth. You may need to repeat this process multiple times per day depending on the severity of your discomfort.
For maximum effectiveness, try alternating with hot compresses applied for 15 minutes at a time before going back to another round of cold therapy. This helps draw blood flow towards the surface which can further reduce swelling and tenderness in the gums.
When it comes to dental pain relief, home remedies can provide significant relief. There are a variety of natural ingredients you can use for toothache pain and other forms of dental discomfort. Here are some of the most effective home remedies for toothache pain:
1. Salt Water: The healing properties of salt water have been known for centuries, as salt helps reduce inflammation and soothe the affected area. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water and swish the mixture around your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.
2. Clove Oil: Cloves have been used in traditional medicines since ancient times due to their powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. To apply clove oil, simply dip a cotton swab in the oil and apply it directly to the affected area.
3. Garlic: The antibacterial properties of garlic can help fight infection and reduce dental pain. To use, simply chew on a clove of raw garlic or make a paste by grinding up garlic cloves and applying the resulting paste to your toothache.
4. Peppermint Tea Bags: The natural cooling effect of peppermint can provide relief from toothache pain. Simply place a warm wet tea bag against your sore tooth for several minutes to numb the pain and reduce inflammation.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and ease dental discomfort. Mix together 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of warm water, then swish the mixture around your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.
By trying some of these home remedies, you can experience relief from toothache pain and other forms of dental discomfort. Be sure to speak to your doctor or dentist if the pain persists.

I remember you said you were allergic to the Benadryl dye but I don’t remember if you ever said if you knew about their dye free liquid gels and I thought I’d mention them just in case.
(I just discovered both the Benadryl had liquid gels and that my husband is allergic to alfalfa in the opposite order in a 5 minute window)
Ooft I'm sorry, I hope your husband is okay 💖
And yes! I'm familiar with it. I can't have it cause of how the capsules are made, but I crack them open before dental appointments and rub them on my gums. It helps me go numb/also helps prevent MCAS reactions from the procedures being done. Same with the kid's liquid stuff. My dentist now keeps some of it on hand instead of Orajel if they accidentally irritate my mouth too much and cause a flare. (before anyone does this: check with your doctor. This is just something MCAS folks figured out to make dental work safer for us, which is a major MCAS trigger.)
Thankfully, I've got a friend who sends me dye-free solid tablets from her pharmacy, something I can't seem to find in my local area. I'm hoping I'll be able to get it compounded on my insurance at some point!
Again, I hope your husband is doing okay. It's never nice finding out a new allergy 😬

I have an incredibly fractious cat whos about to need antibiotics for three days to prep for a full dental. Last time she needed a pill she was a kitten and it took me six hours to get it down her. She's huge now and doesn't like people food or treats. The only thing she wants is milk, which obviously I can't give her. Any ideas?
does she like kitten milk replacer? >> adult cats can drink it without having any ill-effects; if you get the powder kind, you can even decide how thick it is. Depending on the kind of antibiotic, you might be able to grind it up and just mix it in, like a lil soup.
you can also get it compounded at a specialty pharmacy, like Roadrunner or Wedgewood, and get it flavored. It might make it go down easier.
baby food is ALSO pretty popular with cats, so long as you get an all-meat one that doesn't have garlic or onions. Cats just fucking love that stuff, so it might be a treat she'll accept.
and, honestly, if all else fails, i'd probably just use the milk. you gotta work with what you've got on hand.
good luck to her on the dental and i hope you get some pictures of a super groggy gal, because drugged up pets are hilarious.

THE MANY HEALTH BENEFITS OF METH
In low, pharmaceutical-grade doses, methamphetamine may actually repair and protect the brain in certain circumstances. But stigma against the drug could be harming patients and holding back research.
TROY FARAHMAY 15, 2019
D-methamphetamine is what generally appears on the street—although it's often cut with other chemicals—whereas l-meth provides a less addictive, shorter-lived high that is less desirable among drug users.

Ask your doctor about methamphetamine. It's not a phrase you'll ever hear on TV or the radio, but here's a secret: Meth is an incredible medicine. Even the Drug Enforcement Administration admits it, and doctors are known to prescribe it for narcolepsy, obesity, and ADHD. Historically, meth has been used to reverse barbiturate overdoses and even raise blood pressure during surgery. Some preliminary research suggests that meth can be neuroprotective against stroke and traumatic brain injury, even stimulating the growth of brain cells.
Yet we're constantly warned never to try meth—"not even once," goes the refrain—or it will instantly cause addiction and ruin your life. Before fentanyl was the demon drug du jour, meth was seen as the worst, most destructive, most evil chemical you could find on the streets. Even of late, if you ask the New York Times or NBC, you'll learn that meth, "the forgotten killer," is back with a "vengeance." Other outlets, from Rolling Stone to CNN to The Daily Beast, have raised the alarm about meth use in the context of the opioid overdose crisis.
Stimulant-related deaths are indeed on the rise in North America—in some regions, meth is even more prevalent than heroin. Surveying drug overdoses in America from 1979 through 2016, researchers wrote in Science in September of 2018 that "Methamphetamine deaths have increased most dramatically in the western and southwestern United States."
Meth poisonings accounted for an estimated 14,845 hospitalizations in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and another 15,808 emergency room visits. In 2016, around 7,500 people died from overdosing on stimulants, including meth. If you ask most people, including policymakers, you'll hear that meth is a scourge that can do no good.
But if you've ever used something like Vicks VapoInhaler, you've experienced the healing benefits of meth firsthand. That's because the over-the-counter nasal decongestant contains levomethamphetamine, the levorotary form—or "mirror image"—of the same stuff from Breaking Bad. Procter & Gamble tries to obscure this fact by spelling the active ingredient "levmetamfetamine." Selegiline, a drug for treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, also metabolizes into levomethamphetamine.
There is a significant difference between these two opposing molecules. D-methamphetamine is what generally appears on the street—although it's often cut with other chemicals—whereas l-meth provides a less addictive, shorter-lived high that is less desirable among drug users. But people can and do use it recreationally. Abuse is rare, however, in part because the high is shitty, but also because d-meth is so widely available. It's easier to buy a more powerful form of the drug on the street than it is to try to extract it from over-the-counter medications.
Other Americans are prescribed actual, pure meth by their doctors. It happens less frequently these days, but in ADHD, obesity, or narcolepsy cases where nothing else has worked, a drug called Desoxyn (methamphetamine hydrochloride) can sometimes help. It can even be prescribed to children as young as seven.
It's important to make these distinctions. Meth didn't make a "comeback"; it never left. It can't return with a "vengeance" and it can't be "evil" because we're talking about a chemical compound here. It has no personality, no feelings, no intentions.
Thus it does a disservice to science and to medicine, as well as to the people who use these drugs responsibly, to treat a molecule with dualistic properties purely as a poison. And as recent research has shown, we're still uncovering some of the potential therapeutic benefits of methamphetamine. Confronting the stigma associated with meth and highlighting its benefits can better inform drug policy and addiction treatment.

'IT'S JUST A STIMULANT, LIKE ANY OTHER STIMULANT'
For Jordan*, the meth he's prescribed works better against his ADHD with fewer side effects than the Adderall he'd been on for 20 years. About five years ago, Jordan asked his doctor if he could try methamphetamine. The doc said sure.
"The first time I brought it to the pharmacy, the pharmacist actually said to me, 'Oh, your doctor wrote this prescription wrong, this is the stuff that they make in meth labs,'" Jordan tells me by phone. "I told him to type 'Desoxyn' into the computer, and he did. He kind of backtracked, [but] he obviously had no idea."
Jordan, a middle-aged man from North Carolina who works in clinical research, now switches every three months between Adderall and Desoxyn to prevent building a tolerance to either stimulant.
Methamphetamine and amphetamine (one of the active ingredients in Adderall) are almost identical chemicals. The main difference between the two is the addition of a second methyl group to methamphetamine's chemical structure. This addition makes meth more lipid-soluble, allowing for easier access across the blood-brain barrier. Meth is therefore not only more potent, but also longer-lasting.
"The medications have definitely been important for me, to be productive, to be successful, not just at work but also in my personal life," Jordan says. "I've been on the medications for years, but I can take Adderall or methamphetamine and take a nap afterwards. I don't have any noticeable side effects."
Jordan also doesn't feel "high" from the doses he takes—approximately 10 to 15 milligrams of meth per day. Doses at this level are well tolerated by most people. It's very difficult to estimate the typical dosages of illicit meth taken on the street, but they are generally many times higher and taken every couple of hours. Further, the route of administration—typically, users smoke or inject illicit meth—allows for more of the drug to enter the bloodstream than taking a prescription pill.
At high doses, meth gives a rush of euphoria, boosting attention span, zapping fatigue, and decreasing appetite. Intense sexual arousal, talkativeness, and rapid thought patterns are also common. Body temperature and heart rate shoot up, which can cause irregular heartbeat, increasing the risk of seizures. If taken repeatedly over long periods, street meth can be highly neurotoxic, inducing paranoia and psychosis.
But illicit meth is also often used to self-medicate, according to Mark Willenbring, an addiction psychiatrist from St. Paul, Minnesota, with over 30 years of practice treating substance-use disorders. In Willenbring's experience, most of his patients who use illegal meth are treating undiagnosed ADHD.
"There's a high degree of comorbidity between substance-use disorders and ADD," Willenbring says. "They used meth for years in a controlled way, they never over-used it, they just used enough to get an effect, and then they stopped. One misconception is that it's always very addictive."
With most people who are addicted to meth, Willenbring says, you can't tell it just by looking at them. Carl Hart, a neuroscientist in Columbia University's Department of Psychology, agrees that the image of a snarling meth addict with bad teeth is a false stereotype. The dental damage so prevalent in anti-drug propaganda, he says, is more likely due to poor nutrition and lack of sleep—not to the drug. "There is no empirical evidence to support the claim that methamphetamine causes physical deformities," Hart wrote in a 2014 co-authored report.
"It's just a stimulant, like any other stimulant," Willenbring says. "It's a marketing issue."
Part of the reason Jordan asked to try Desoxyn in the first place was to see if he'd develop any of the "stereotypical meth addict problems," as he puts it. He hasn't.
"Those of us that know the reality have a responsibility to say, 'Hey, not that shooting up meth isn't bad, but the chemical itself isn't bad,'" Jordan says. "It's just misuse of the chemical that's bad."
For Joan*, a 66-year-old grandmother living off the grid in northern Georgia, Desoxyn makes her feel normal. "Not high, not hyped up, just normal," she tells me. She's been taking prescription meth since 2006, but first tried many other ADHD meds, such as Ritalin and Concerta, with poor results. But Desoxyn has not only helped her socialize, manage bills, and finish her master's degree in social work; it's also helped with Joan's depression and self-esteem.
"The only downside is the cost," she says. "It's one of the oldest drugs on the market, but even generic, it is outrageously expensive."
Still, meth isn't for everyone, of course. Kevin*, a 31-year-old artist from the Midwest, was first prescribed Desoxyn at age 15 to treat extreme fatigue and trouble focusing. But misdiagnosed mental-health issues—his doctors thought he had bipolar disorder, when in fact he had post-traumatic stress from childhood abuse—led to worsening symptoms.
"Being able to just take a bunch of pills that made the exhaustion go away for a while felt like a blessing, but it was just a Band-Aid on the problem," Kevin says. "I became completely dependent upon Desoxyn to function, and any lapse in taking my dose would result in a terrible energy crash."
"In retrospect, my neurologist at the time would have done well to consider the effects of intense stimulants on someone already prone to mania, insomnia, and hallucinations," he says. "I think Desoxyn has its merits as part of a treatment plan for attentive disorders, but that's the thing—it needs to be part of a larger understanding of how and why it might have a negative impact upon the patient's overall health, and should remain closely monitored throughout."
"Stigma is the lens [through] which we see all drug issues. It keeps us from making the best decisions. It is fear-based, not rational, not creative. Because of stigma, we have not fully addressed the opioid crisis."

HOW METH CAN TREAT BRAIN INJURY—AND MUCH MORE
Street doses of meth can be extremely damaging to your health. The purity of such drugs is often unknown, and repeated, high doses of meth have been proven to be neurotoxic. But in low, pharmaceutical-grade doses, meth may actually repair and protect the brain in certain circumstances.
This was first discovered in 2008, when researchers at Queen's Medical Center Neuroscience Institute in Honolulu, Hawaii, analyzed five years of data on traumatic head injuries. They unexpectedly found that patients who tested positive for methamphetamine were significantly less likely to die from the injuries. The authors suggested that meth could have neuroprotective benefits.
To learn more, in 2011, a different team from the University of Montana applied meth to slices of rat brain that had been damaged to resemble the brains of stroke victims. Then they induced strokes in living rats, using a method called embolic MCAO, and injected them with methamphetamine. At low doses, the meth gave better behavioral outcomes and even reduced brain-cell death. At high doses, the meth made outcomes worse.
Because meth stimulates the flow of important neurotransmitters—dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—the Montana researchers theorized that methamphetamine may provide neuroprotection through multiple pathways. David Poulsen, one of the researchers involved, says this was a "serendipitous discovery."
"So we decided, well, if it worked in stroke, it's probably going to work really well in traumatic brain injury," says Poulsen, now a neurosurgeon at the University of Buffalo who specializes in treatments for protecting the brain after severe damage.
Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, occurs after a violent smash to the skull. Its consequences include concussions on the mild end and coma or death on the severe end. TBI kills around 50,000 Americans annually, according to the CDC, while about 2.8 million of us visit the emergency room for TBI-related injuries every year. There is currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for TBI.
So, Paulson and his team reasoned, if meth can already be prescribed for children, why not to adults with TBI?
To test the proposition, Poulsen and colleagues gave TBI to rats. Giving an animal brain trauma isn't easy, but for more than two decades, there's been a trick called the rat lateral fluid percussion injury model: Simply cut a hole in the skull of a rat and apply water pressure to the brain.
About half the rodents—19 male Wistar rats—were given this treatment, and eight of these were then given meth. The rats given meth performed better at a task called the Morris water maze, a widely used experiment that involves plopping a rat into a pool of water with a hidden platform. By tracking how long it takes the rodent to find the platform, scientists can measure many different aspects of cognitive function.
"By the third day of training, there were no statistically significant differences between the uninjured control rats and the injured rats that had been treated with methamphetamine," Poulsen and his colleagues wrote.
But the team also found that low doses of meth were protecting immature neurons, while also promoting the birth of new brain cells that are important for learning and memory. The same was also true for rats that were given meth, but not injured.
"We see not just little, but very significant improvements in cognition and behavior," Poulsen says. "Their memories improved, functional behavior is improved.... It's not a trivial difference."
"In light of the fact that low-dose methamphetamine is FDA-approved for use in juveniles and adults, we see no valid reason why it cannot be utilized in human clinical trials for stroke and TBI," Poulsen and colleagues concluded in 2016.
But those clinical trials, considered the gold standard for testing medication, have yet to materialize, even while a 2018 retrospective study found similar results to the Hawaiian neuroscience report: Out of 304 patients with TBI, those who also tested positive for meth had better recovery results than those who did not. "The potential neuroprotective role of meth and other similar substances cannot be ignored," the authors wrote in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery last July.
There are limited conclusions that we can draw about these rodent and retrospective studies, and it's probably unlikely that nurses will soon start giving meth to people who have cracked their skulls. Still, a wide variety of stimulant therapies for TBI is being explored, with positive results. These include trials with modafinil, a narcolepsy drug; amantadine, a Parkinson's drug; and dextroamphetamine, one of the components of Adderall. But there's still no indication of a single clinical trial for methamphetamine for TBI registered with the National Institutes of Health.
Methylphenidate, also known as Ritalin, seems to be the stimulant most popular in these trials. For example, in 2004, researchers at Drucker Brain Injury Center at MossRehab Hospital in Pennsylvania gave methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin, to 34 patients with moderate to severe TBI. They reported significant improvements in information processing and attention.
Twelve years later, in Gothenburg, Sweden, another 30 patients suffering from prolonged fatigue following TBI were given methylphenidate and observed for six months. They also showed improved cognitive function and reduced fatigue. But a 2016 meta-analysis of 10 controlled trials found the main benefit of giving methylphenidate for TBI was increased attention, "whereas no notable benefit was observed in the facilitation of memory or processing speed," the authors wrote. They encouraged more research into appropriate dosages and length of prescription.
Birgitta Johansson, a neuroscientist at the University of Gothenburg and lead author of the Swedish study, suggests caution whenever treating someone with a brain injury. "With methylphenidate, it is important to be aware about possible side effects, [such] as increased blood pressure and heart rate and also risk of anxiety," she says. "It is always very important to prescribe medication with care and follow the patient carefully."
But the reason meth isn't studied more rigorously—for TBI, for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, for stroke—could also come down to money. Methamphetamine is off-patent, meaning there may be less financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to explore the drug's potential uses. Consider Vyvanse, a drug first marketed in 2007, with a new formulation introduced in 2017, that racked up $2.1 billion in sales in 2017. Desoxyn, which is sold by three companies, only earned about $9.3 million in 2009.
While Methamphetamine may not be widely recognized as medicine, it clearly has potential to heal as well as harm. Recognizing the duality of meth is arguably all the more essential in the face of a rising stimulant overdose crisis.
"Stigma regarding any substance use or substance use disorder is counterproductive," says Dan Ciccarone, professor of family medicine at the University of California–San Francisco. He says the overdose crisis is shifting from opioids to stimulants and that we are not prepared for the next wave. "Stigma is the lens [through] which we see all drug issues. It keeps us from making the best decisions. It is fear-based, not rational, not creative. Because of stigma, we have not fully addressed the opioid crisis."
That stigma remains a major hurdle, and until doctors and public-health officials counteract this kind of messaging, it seems unlikely that a multinational pharmaceutical company would risk marketing a substance only believed to be toxic and deadly.
"Everything will kill you, if you take enough of it," Poulsen says. "Some things don't require a lot to do that. Meth is one of those things. But just like any drug, the difference between a poison and a cure is the dose."
*These names have been changed.

Are Compounding Pharmacies Safe?
Emad Yousef is the dog owner of Trinity Drugstore.At Trinity Drugstore, we concentrate in compounding customized medicines to generally meet your unique needs, whatsoever these wants may be. Whether you are in need of quality pain management, tailored hormone alternative treatment, dental compounding, or unique vet medications for your animals, we've the talent, gear, and knowledge expected to ensure you receive exactly what the physician ordered.
Compounding pharmacies function to generate pharmaceutical products and services which are specifically designed to fit the unique needs of each patient. They specialise in organizing and dispensing bespoke pharmaceutical products and services to patients who cannot or do not want to (for whatever reason) take standard, mass produced medication. Several people are embracing these pharmacies because they have formerly had problems with typical prescription drugs.
As the compounded prescription drugs they offer are different from the ones that are actually available on the remaining portion of the market, some consumers may be worried about whether employing a compounding pharmacy is safe. However, the US Food and Medicine Administration (FDA) have stated that compounding is perfectly legitimate and ethical provided that the pharmacy is completely qualified and the pharmacist who carried out the compounding can be completely experienced and licensed.
Due to the possible wellness implications associated with all healing medications, compounding pharmaceuticals is a heavily controlled business, and the FDA and specific state panels of drugstore have presented strict directions to help make sure that customers and individuals using these compounding pharmacies must stay safe. All majority medicine materials that are found in these kind of pharmacies must be on an approved-list of materials that it is legitimate and safe to element with.
Any previously marketed materials which were which may be useless or harmful don't make the approved-list of materials suited to compounding. Pharmacists are not likely to compound with any material that is not on the approved-list. Although many states do not require methods to report newport Compounding pharmacy  any recently discovered side-effects associated with compounded medications, ethical pharmacies will voluntarily report them.
The compounding drugstore it self can be susceptible to strict recommendations, in addition to the materials that they substance with. The pharmacy must match good quality get a grip on criteria and every person laboratory should match strict ability guidelines, to make certain safety and consistency in each set of medications produced. Pharmacies in America are managed by specific "state boards of pharmacy", and therefore each state has slightly different units of regulations.
It's possible to check on with the board of drugstore in your state if you're however unsure. Inspectors from the state panel can carry out regular checks on certified pharmacies and arbitrary testing checks might be carried out on groups of drugs which are being distributed to check on the protection and potency.
Pharmacists who practice in compounding pharmacies are heavily managed as well. They should be completely trained and qualified to be able to furnish medication that they have compounded, so that they have the ability to fully understand the drugs that they are making.

Future of Online Pharmacy In India
Tumblr media
India is being recognized worldwide for its IT potential resulting in making services more accessible through computerization and the digital revolution. This has successfully led us to the availability of options for doctor's appointments, accessing lab reports, purchases, payments, all through the online pharmacy platform development. Looking at the market growth, the Indian Online Pharmacy market is predicted to develop at a compound annual growth rate of 44.39% to attain US$5,467.390 million in the next four years. Though the online pharmacy market or drugstore app development is expected to witness tremendous growth among the diverse segments of e-commerce. Functional Practice of Online Pharmacy Online Pharmacy has two operating components through which it eases the dispensing of medicines:   1. Technology
The in-demand technical solution for pharmacies and customers is a chemist website development or online pharmacy app solution allowing customers to upload prescriptions and order medicines online.
Order details are forwarded to registered pharmacists, they validate the prescription and dispense medicines by utilizing pharma distributor app development.
Online/offline payment facilities are added advantages to the entire process of selling and buying medicines online with the use of healthcare app development.
   2. Retail Store
Help retailers to serve the existing prescriptions of patients who are suffering from chronic diseases and can not make it to the medical store for medicine refiling. Thus, the process of e-pharmacy is operated all over the internet and pharmacists are looking forward to mobile app developers for the pharmacy shop. The Pharma Mobile App acts as an interface between customers allowing them to order medicines online. The pharmacist receives order details through the portal and sends orders to customers through shipping companies, once verified. This way, the online pharmacy market is gradually enlarging in the e-commerce industry. This shows how impressive the market penetration rates in rural and urban regions are. The Indian online pharmacy market is certainly been fuelled by the exponential increase in population utilizing the internet. In addition to this, online services are assured to be driving the Pharma business to the highest peak. Moreover, there are several government initiatives such as digital India and Janaushadhi promoting generic medicines and telemedicine. This will be an advantage over expanding medication and healthcare facilities to rural parts of India driving the Indian online pharmacy market a step ahead.
Factors that affect the exponential growth of Online Pharmacy.
Increased Demand for Convenience
Easy Adoption of Digitalization in Healthcare
Distance Selling
Ease of Online Purchase
Ascension of Pharmaceutical Needs
Increasing Geriatric Population
Additionally, few segments are increasing the online pharmacy trend including Skin Care, Dental Treatments, Online Medical Consultation, and Chronic Diseases. The burden of various health hazards, with a growing population and challenging lifestyles, is a major challenge for the country. Whilst giving easy availability of medicines to the remote locations is driving the health sector in a proper direction.
