"1 Filipino develops Chronic Kidney Disease every hour" This exact statistic was officially highlighted by Health Secretary Ted Herbosa and the NKTI Executive Director during the National Kidney Month Campaign launches. Citing the NKTI / DOH (2026) grounds this number in current public health data. 🏙️💔

Many cases are linked to a habit we might not even think twice about: the improper use of common painkillers (NSAIDs) like Mefenamic Acid, Ibuprofen, and Celecoxib.

While these medications are highly effective for short-term pain relief, overuse can silently damage your kidneys by reducing their blood flow, potentially leading to sudden injury or gradual loss of function.

Before you reach for that next pain pill, remember:
✅ Always follow the recommended dosage.
✅ Avoid prolonged use without a doctor's advice.
✅ Consult your BGHMC pharmacists for safer alternatives.

Your kidneys work hard for you every day—protect them by using medicines responsibly! 💙

💙 Life is Truly Vibrant when our Kidneys are Truly Healthy!

Did you know that June is National Kidneys Month? 🇵🇭 Our kidneys work tirelessly 24/7 to filter waste, manage fluid balance, and keep our bodies running smoothly. But because kidney disease often develops silently, prevention is our absolute best defense!

Guard your health daily with these 6 Simple Habits:
💧 Drink plenty of water – Stay hydrated to help flush out toxins.
🥗 Eat healthy & reduce salt – Cut back on processed foods to ease the load on your kidneys.
🏃‍♂️ Exercise regularly – Keep your body moving to support overall cardiovascular health.
⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight – Balanced nutrition and activity protect your vital organs.
💊 Use medicines wisely – Avoid overusing pain relievers (like NSAIDs) without medical advice.
🩸 Monitor blood pressure & blood sugar – High blood sugar and hypertension are leading causes of kidney damage.

Small daily changes can make a massive difference. Let’s prioritize preventive health and early screening to protect our kidneys for life!

Para sa ating mga Lolo at Lola sa Baguio City, narito ang gabay para sa inyong kaligtasan!
Alam niyo ba na ang pag-inom ng maraming uri ng gamot (polypharmacy) ay may dalang panganib kung hindi ito maayos na nababantayan? Gaya ng nakasaad sa ating poster na polypharmacy.jpg: "Lamang ang may alam sa kanilang mga gamot!"
Huwag hayaang malito sa dami ng tableta. Para sa ligtas na gamotan, laging tandaan:
✅ Ilista ang lahat ng iniinom — kasama na ang mga gamot na walang reseta, vitamins, at herbal.
✅ Itanong sa Pharmacist ang hindi naiintindihan — huwag mag-atubiling magtanong sa inyong pharmacist o doctor.
✅ Iulat ang anumang kakaibang nararamdaman — tulad ng pagkahilo, pantal, pangangati, o pananakit ng tiyan.
Maging aktibong kasapi sa iyong kalusugan! Dalhin ang inyong listahan ng gamot at ipacheck sa inyong pharmacist o sa doctor.

The Department of Pharmacy, in partnership with the Public Health Unit, conducted a Watcher’s Class on Antibiotic Awareness for patient watchers.

The session was led by Ms. Cleofe Alipio, highlighting the important role of watchers as active partners in patient care. The discussion focused on the proper use of antibiotics, the importance of completing prescribed treatment, recognizing side effects, and supporting patients through close coordination with the healthcare team.

Patient watchers play a vital role in promoting treatment adherence and better health outcomes. We thank all participants for their active involvement and commitment to responsible antibiotic use.

Sa bawat reseta, payo, at ngiting handog ng ating mga botika, mas napapalapit ang serbisyong pangkalusugan sa bawat tahanan. Habang ipinagdiriwang natin ang National Pharmacy Week, bigyang-pugay natin ang dedikasyon ng ating mga pharmacists na tagapaghatid ng serbisyong tapat, dekalidad, at may malasakit.

Ang mga botika ay hindi lamang lugar para sa mga gamot at basic necessities, kundi katuwang din natin ang mga ito sa pagpapaigting ng kalusugan ng komunidad. Sa Baguio man o sa bawat sulok ng bansa, sama-sama nating suportahan at pahalagahan ang mahalagang papel ng mga pharmacy para sa mas malusog at mas ligtas na kinabukasan para sa lahat, mga Kaaruba!
