June 2023 Archive: Key posts on treatments, supplements, and real-world tips

June 2023 brought a mix of clinical treatment updates and natural supplement rundowns. If you want quick, practical takeaways from that month, this page collects the main points so you can scan what matters and click through for details.

Clinical highlights

Sofosbuvir made the month’s biggest clinical splash. Our piece explains why sofosbuvir-based regimens are now a leading option for children with hepatitis C: high cure rates, short treatment courses, and generally mild side effects. We also note when combinations are used and why pediatric dosing and specialist oversight matter—this isn’t something to self-manage at home.

Tadalafil showed up in a piece about aging and sexual health. Beyond treating erectile dysfunction, tadalafil can ease lower urinary tract symptoms and improve sexual satisfaction for some older men. The article stresses checking heart health and drug interactions first, since nitrates and some blood pressure meds don’t mix well with tadalafil.

Flunarizine was covered as a potential option for tinnitus relief. A small clinical report we summarized found decreases in perceived loudness and fewer episodes after a few weeks of treatment. The take-home: it’s promising for certain patients, but side effects like drowsiness or weight gain mean you should discuss risks with your clinician.

Natural supplements and daily wellness

Cordyceps got a reader-friendly review showing why people take it for energy and endurance. Traditional use meets some modern athlete studies reporting improved oxygen use and stamina. We explain typical forms (extracts, powders), common doses, and what to watch for—quality varies a lot between brands.

Kudzu was featured as an appetite and digestion aid. The post describes how kudzu extracts may reduce cravings and support gut balance, and it gives practical tips for adding small doses in tea or capsules while monitoring appetite changes. It’s not a miracle pill, but some readers found it helpful when paired with a sensible diet.

Catuaba rounded out the month with a look at this Amazonian herbal supplement. Traditionally used as a mild energizer and libido support, users report better focus and mood. We cover sourcing concerns and suggest starting with low doses if you try it, since potency can vary widely.
