@magnoliapharmacy: As a pharmacist, there are 3 medications I would avoid at all cost: NSAIDs, PPIs, and Statins. Yes, they work — but they often mask symptoms while creating new problems down the road. In my Reel, I explain why I’d avoid them. 👇 Check below where I’ve listed the root-cause approaches for each condition these drugs are usually used for. 1. NSAIDs (pain & inflammation) - Instead of just blocking inflammation, look at why you’re inflamed. • Anti-inflammatory diet (cut processed foods, add omega-3s & antioxidants) • Magnesium, curcumin, and a high quality omega-3 2. PPIs (acid reflux/heartburn) - Heartburn often comes from low stomach acid or food sensitivities. • Digestive support: enzymes, betaine HCl, apple cider vinegar • Probiotics and gut healing support • Avoid trigger foods (alcohol, grains like wheat and corn, and dairy) 3. Statins (cholesterol) 👉 Cholesterol isn’t the full story — inflammation and particle size matter more. • Advanced lipid testing (ApoB, oxidized LDL, Lp(a)) • Diet: more fiber, omega-3s, less sugar • Supplements: High quality omega-3, bergamot, and Berberine combo is great optimize cholesterol • Lifestyle: exercise, stress reduction, sleep #magnoliarx #Pharmacist #nsaids #ppis #statins

I respect the perspective, but I have to disagree here. While it’s true that medications like statins and PPIs can have long-term side effects, we can’t ignore that many patients genuinely need them. Not all patients are perfectly healthy, compliant, or in shape — in fact, most are dealing with multiple chronic conditions. As physicians, we treat real people with complex health issues, and sometimes these medications are absolutely life-saving or quality-of-life preserving.
Pharmacists are incredibly valuable, but they don’t treat patients directly. The decision to start or continue these meds has to be individualized, weighing risks and benefits in the context of the patient sitting in front of us. It’s not as simple as saying “avoid them”

I’m taking a statin because my doctor says it protects me from stroke and heart attack. I think my doctor knows best.

The issue is the MDs offer no alternative and instead just the pills…..which all cause more issues.
