Welcome to the Pharmacology Follies! You know, they say if you can't laugh at your medication side effects, you're probably taking too much!

Speaking of medications, let's dive into anti-inflammatories! Nick, do you think they can help with my irritation when my coffee gets cold?

d

Nick

Only if they come with a warning: 'May cause you to throw out perfectly good coffee and start brewing again!'

Breezy

Raise your hand if you've ever Googled your symptoms just to end up thinking you need a heart transplant because of a hangnail!

Nick

Ah yes, the classic URI—nothing like a sneeze to remind you that your body is a great procrastinator!

Breezy

And don't even get me started on antivirals! If they were as effective on bad decisions, we’d all be geniuses by now!

d

Nick

Right? I mean, I could use a few antiviral pills after my last date—talk about a viral outbreak!

p

Breezy

Well, folks, whether it's anti-inflammatories or antifungals, remember that knowledge is power. And laughter is the best medicine—just don’t forget to take your actual medicine too!
