This World Asthma Day, we stand with @ginasthma in advocating for better asthma management. We urge healthcare professionals to prioritize evidence-based treatments, including inhaled corticosteroids, over short-acting relievers.

Despite overwhelming evidence debunking the myth,

Despite overwhelming evidence debunking the myth, fear and misinformation continue to spread, leading to falling vaccination rates and the return of preventable diseases like measles.
The 1998 study that fueled this myth has been thoroughly discredited, and numerous large-scale studies have found no link between vaccines, including the MMR vaccine, and autism. ✅

🧠💉 The science is clear ...
Vaccines save lives by preventing serious illness, disability, and death. The risks are minimal, but the benefits are significant.

📚 Get the facts here: https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2010/0915/p586.html

Let’s stand up for science, stop the spread of misinformation, and protect our communities.

✨ CDC Update for Healthcare Providers! ✨

The CDC recommends doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy PEP) to help prevent bacterial STIs.
Prescribers are encouraged to discuss doxy PEP with all gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men and transgender at increased risk for STIs.

💡 Why it matters: Early intervention = stronger sexual health outcomes. Let’s turn the tide on STIs together!

📢 Illinois ADVANCE helps providers stay ahead of the latest guidelines. Need support? Reach out for free clinical guidance!

How are you discussing doxy PEP with patients?

🌟 A Start of a New Era in Pain Relief? 🌟
The FDA recently approved suzetrigine (Journavx®), a novel non-opioid analgesic for moderate to severe acute pain in adults. Suzetrigine reduces the pain by selectively blocking sodium channels in the peripheral nervous system.

Through its longstanding support for development of non-opioid therapies, the FDA continues to take significant strides in reducing opioid dependence.
