May 2025 Archive — Key Reads on Meds, Eyes, Lungs, and Pregnancy

Four practical guides landed on RexMD.SU in May 2025, all focused on clear choices you can use today. Each piece breaks down treatment options, side effects, and what to ask your clinician so you leave a visit feeling confident.

Exelon for dementia — who benefits and what to expect

Our Exelon article explains how rivastigmine helps with dementia symptoms and who might notice a benefit. It lists common side effects like nausea and skin irritation, plus simple tips to reduce them — take medicine with food, report weight loss, and check skin where patches sit. Caregivers get quick advice on monitoring daily function and tracking changes to share with doctors.

Fast-acting rescue inhalers: albuterol vs levalbuterol

If you need relief fast, the albuterol vs levalbuterol comparison gives clear numbers on onset time and side effect risk. Short version: both start working quickly, but some patients report fewer tremors with levalbuterol. The article covers dosing differences, when one may be preferred in the ER, and what to watch for if you use rescue inhalers often.

There’s also a piece on acupuncture and high eye pressure that separates hopeful claims from real data. It shows where acupuncture might reduce pressure slightly and where evidence is weak. Practical takeaway: acupuncture can be tried as an adjunct, not a substitute, for proven glaucoma treatments. We list questions to ask your acupuncturist and red flags that need immediate eye care.

Expecting and stuffy? The nasal spray guide compares oxymetazoline, phenylephrine, and steroid sprays for pregnant women. You get straight answers about short-term use of decongestants, why some sprays are safer than others, and how steroid nasal sprays can be used when congestion lasts. The guide stresses talking to your prenatal provider before starting anything.

How to use this archive: start with the post that matches your immediate need — medication management, rescue inhaler choice, eye pressure options, or pregnancy-safe congestion relief. Each article includes practical steps, when to call a clinician, and trusted sources for deeper reading.

Want quick actions right now? If you or a loved one start a new dementia drug, keep a symptom diary for two months. If you reach for a rescue inhaler more than twice a week, get a follow up plan. For new eye symptoms, see an ophthalmologist within a week. If pregnant and sick, check with your OB before any nasal spray.

Questions or personal experiences? Share them on our site — we review comments and update posts when new evidence emerges. RexMD.SU aims to make medical choices clearer, not replace your provider. Use these May posts to ask better questions and feel more in control of your care.

Want sources? Each article links to studies, prescribing information, and guideline pages so you can read original research. If you need a summary for a doctor visit, print the key points and bring them to your appointment. We update when evidence changes and keep things practical for you. Every month we review.
