Clinical pharmacist Dr. Christina Madison joins WIRED to answer the internet’s burning questions about pharmacology and pharmaceuticals. Does a medication “go bad” after its expiration date? How do extended release pills work? What are the pros and cons of GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic (semaglutide?) Is melatonin dependency bad? Why have we never found a cure for the common cold? Dr. Madison answers these questions and many more on this edition of Pharmacology Support.

This woman of color is so intelligent and well spoken!
i hate how she explains, your not explaining to professionals, what the heck is a metabolise
Why is acetaminophen not really used in the UK but used loads in north America or is that what paracetamol is?
Acetaminophen is the same exact thing as paracetamol. Just 2 different terms.
Don’t mess around with expired antibiotics. You’re just asking for trouble and a antibiotic resistant bacteria could cause a lengthy hospital stay if you’re taking antibiotics that are half or even less effective than they are when they are prescribed. You do not want to be in that position.
You are awesome!!
The latter part clearly demonstrates how the US is controlled by the big drug companies.
it’s funny that it takes more than 20 years to release a pill because they have to study the results, but within a year they gave people the COVID vaccine — really makes you think.
That happened because there was a huge need for it and the drug manufacturers were allowed to skip some of the later clinical trials. Since then, they have gone through the required clinical testing. That, and the mRNA technology was already past many of these stages so no new technology was being used.
Similar viruses were already being studied way before Covid hit. The vaccines already had a lot of research behind them for that reason
شكراََ جزيلا ! ساعدني هذا كطالبة صيدلة و استمتعت
I had a pharmacist (possibly) save my life. Doctor prescribed me a medication I am allergic to under a generic name. I didnt think anything of it, but the pharmacist caught it.
8:57 what she means is government overreach
9:54 No explanation why. Garbage and useless video.
Here in Canada pharmacists are now allowed to prescribe certain medications without a MD prescription.
I hate listening to artificial vocal fries. SO IRRITATING IN THE EARS
With pharmacology comes metric system math…good luck with that
I truly appreciate when media platforms use African Americans as the SME because it validates, to mainstream America, the concept of the black intellect. If enough platforms do this, we can eradicate the phrase, “you’re so articulate”.🙄
Very pleasant listening to you versus influencers that are using AI . I actually listened to the whole, video without fast forward(very unusual for me. If this is AI I am totally fooled.
Often times when refills are requested, it’s not the physician reordering the meds. It’s a medical assistant.
TheOnlyOneLeft was not the last question, who directed this?
As a European, this medicine advertisement to patients seems very weird to me. “Ask your doctor if Glumorzivab is right for you!” – If I have a medical condition, *my doctor* should prescribe that stuff to me, I should not tell my doctor what I want prescribed.. I’ve never ever considered asking my doctor “You’ve prescribed me Merprovix, but wouldn’t Glumorzivab be better? I saw that on TV!” – no, no, NO. My doctor is the expert, I have by far not enough knowledge to suggest an alternative treatment, all I have is useless influence by marketing.
12.00 The Antabuse reaction between metronidazole and alcohol is overstated and may not even be true….
