Hello folks. Does anybody out there know anything about herbs and natural cures? I am no great pro but even I have picked up some pointers over the years.

Take lavender! I love lavender. Lavender is so easy to plant and look after, flourishes year after year, has a lovely, soothing scent, is known to induce relaxation, and keeps the moths away. I have a lavender plant on my kitchen window sill and sachets of lavender in my cupboards.

There are many methods to learn about herbal gardening. I personally have plenty of herbal gardening books on hand. You can exchange information with fellow gardeners or plant nursery salespersons too. And don’t forget elderly people. They have a wealth of information about herbs and natural cures.

ADHD and Children: Ask the Pharmacist

Pharmacist, Maria Marzella Sulli, PharmD, answers questions about ADHD and children.

My doctor recently put me on Adderall 30mg. I have been taking a lot of ibuprofen daily for a toothache. Can the ibuprofen decrease the effectiveness of the Adderall?

Answer: No, there are no significant drug interactions reported between Adderall and ibuprofen. It is safe to take ibuprofen for your toothache while taking Adderall. Always ask your pharmacist before taking an over-the-counter medication to be sure it is the right one for you.

Is there an interaction between Soma and Adderall XR? I took 10mg of Adderall this morning and have a prescription for Soma. I have not taken the Soma yet, but I am in a lot of pain. Is there a risk or interaction with these two drugs?
