NSW high profile pharmacist
and tweeter Rick Samimi, also
a National Councillor for the
Pharmacy Guild of Australia,
has alerted Pharmacy Daily to
a tongue-in-cheek Ranbaxy Sun
Pharma promotion he received.
It is playing on the Trump
phenomenon with the slogan
Make Pharmacy Great Again
(pictured).
Well Australia’s pharmacies are
already great, we say - isn’t that
the right response?
Mincing microbiome meddles
maliciously with your sleep!
Well they may not quite be
mincing or malicious but their
regular, albeit small movements,
take on a rhythmic nature in
your gut and do impact on your
circadian rhythm, according to
new research published in Cell.
The researchers found that
antibiotic treatment or disruption
of circadian feeding behavior (as
in international travel - jet lag)
leads to disruption of microbiota
diurnal rhythmicity, putting our
circadian rhythm out of whack.
Under such circumstances the
liver, which is sensitive to these
changes, will for example, slow
significantly its metabolism and
detoxification of paracetamol.
So what? Treating your gut
kindly and eating well leads to
sleeping well and healthy living.
