The extent of normal hair growth differs between people, families, and races. It is somewhat extensive in the Mediterranean and some Asian subcontinent populations.

Usually, sex hormones affect the hair growth in the moustache, beard, breast, chest, armpit, the midline of the abdomen, genital area, and the thighs. A type of soft hair (vellus hair), which

Pemphigoid gestationis (PG) is a very rare pregnancy-associated autoimmune skin disease that is characterized by an itchy rash that progresses to form blisters. Initially, the rash appears around the navel before spreading to other parts of the body including the back, trunk, arms, and buttocks. Areas such as the face, scalp, palms, soles and mucuous membranes are very rarely affected, Whilst PG may occur at any time during pregnancy or even throughout, it is most common during the second and third

Increase risk of cardiac events when used with fluoxetine ,paroxetine and quinidine Cause additive effect if used with drug that increase BP GI disturbances, anorexia and weight loss, fatigue, sleep disturbances, dizziness, cough, sinusitis or rhinorrhea Readily absorbed after oral administration

blood cells may attack the rest of the body ("graft-versus-host disease"). Medical therapy of aplastic anemia often includes a short course of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) or anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG) and several months of treatment with ciclosporin to modulate the immune system. Mild chemotherapy with agents such as cyclophosphamide andvincristine may also be effective. Antibody therapy, such as ATG, targets T-cells, which are believed to attack the bone marrow. Steroids are generally ineffective

Polypharmacy is generally defined as the use of multiple prescription and/or over-the-counter medications simultaneously. “The incidence of risk for adverse drug events, reactions, and interactions increases proportionately with the number of drugs taken, such that the use of five or more compounds increase risk for adverse drug events to more than 50% while the use of seven or more drugs results in a risk of more than 80% (Heuberger, 2012).” Having multiple prescribers, different filling pharmacies

Full Blood Count is a test used to evaluate the composition and concentration of the cellular components of blood such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. The abnormality it could identify are anaemia which means that there are less red blood cells or less haemoglobin in red blood cells than normal; polycythaemia which means there are too many red blood cells due to various causes; leucopoenia which means there are too few white cells due to various causes; leucocytosis which
