Not just contraception: other uses of The Pill
The combined pill contains progestogen hormone, and synthetic oestrogen. Most commonly the combined pill is used as an effective means of contraception.

Periods are different for every woman, and if you’re unlucky, they bring a lot of pain and complications.
Fortunately, the pill can have positive effects on problems such as period pain and premenstrual syndrome, but that’s not all they can be good for… Read in full

Cost of sildenafil is slashed as Viagra patent expires
The expiry of the Viagra patent on Friday 21 June 2013 in several European countries including the UK was a hugely anticipated event in the pharmaceutical calendar, with generic manufacturers now licenced to produce ‘generic Viagra’ called Sildenafil, the name deriving from the active chemical name of Viagra sildenafil citrate.
National news outlets covered the story with reports of tablets being available from as little as 60 pence each. Dr Fox started to receive numerous enquiries about sildenafil, it’s cost and availability.

Malaria tablets for Children
Children are much more at risk from serious complications of malaria infection than adults. It is generally recommended that unless absolutely necessary young children do not travel to malaria zones. If they do travel, children need to take the same types of antimalarial tablets/capsules as adults. Fortunately there is a choice of malaria tablets for children.
There is one major exception: children under the age of 12 years should not take doxycycline, as it can cause permanent yellow staining of the teeth in younger children. There is always an alternative to doxycycline, usually atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone) or mefloquine (Lariam). Read in full
