Understanding Your Medicine Cabinet Secrets

Your medicine cabinet is hiding some wild secrets. That morphine for severe pain works

by literally changing how your brain perceives pain. But if it causes you to stop breathing,

Naloxone is the hero that kicks it off the receptors to reverse the overdose. Your trusty Ibuprofen

stops pain by blocking specific enzymes, but it can be tough on your stomach and kidneys.

And that antidepressant? It often works by keeping more of your "happy chemical," serotonin,

available in your brain. These aren't just pills; they're powerful tools with specific

jobs and serious risks. Know what you're taking.
