Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood—a condition known as hyperuricemia. When uric acid builds up, it can form sharp crystals that deposit in joints, especially in the big toe, ankles, and knees. The result? Sudden, intense pain, swelling, redness, and a joint that feels like it’s on fire. Gout attacks often strike at night and can last days to weeks if untreated. Why It Was Called the “Dis...

Naltrexone: The Addiction Fighter That Also Helps You Skip Dessert?

Naltrexone is a prescription medication classified as an opioid antagonist. It binds to opioid receptors in the brain and blocks them—essentially preventing opioids or alcohol from producing their usual euphoric effects.

It’s typically prescribed to highly motivated individuals in recovery, often as part of a comprehensive therapy program i...

Zofran: The Anti-Nausea Drug That's a Celebrity Among Chemo Patients and Pregnant Women

Zofran is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. It works by blocking serotonin in the gut and brain—the neurotransmitter heavily involved in triggering the vomiting reflex. Zofran was originally approved by the FDA in 1991 for use in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), but over the years its uses have expanded significantly. Today, it’s often prescribed off-label for morni...

Methotrexate: From Cancer to Rheumatoid Relief—The Drug With a Double Life

Methotrexate’s story began in the early days of chemotherapy. Scientists discovered that rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, depended on folate to grow. Methotrexate, a folic acid analog, blocks that growth by inhibiting an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). This innovation revolutionized the treatment of childhood leukemia. But as the decades went on, researchers began noticing something remarkable: methotrexate, in low ...
