đš STOP USING ANTIBIOTICS TO GET RID OF THE SMELL OF YOUR PERIOD.
Yes, weâre talking about it.
In this session, Pharm. Emmanuel addressed a practice that many women may have been advised to try: using antibiotics or suppositories to âcurtailâ the smell of menstrual blood.
But hereâs the thing: not every smell means you have an infection, and antibiotics should never be used simply because your period has a particular odour.
Pharm. Emmanuel explained the importance of understanding what is normal, recognising when an unusual odour may require attention, and most importantly, consulting a qualified healthcare professional before taking antibiotics or using suppositories.
Self-medication may seem like a quick fix, but the right treatment starts with knowing what is actually wrong. đ©ș
