Hi,
I’m currently on Synthroid 50mcg and I take that medication in the dawn on an empty stomach. I read that Propecia should be taken in the dawn (ideally) considering testosterone levels are highest during that date. Is it OK to take Synthroid at the same date as Propecia or should I start taking my Synthroid at night?
Yes, taking both Synthroid (levothyroxine) and Propecia (finasteride) in the AM is not a problem.

The Chicago Dental Society surveyed increasingly than 300 members to find out how the economy is affecting dental care. increasingly than half say their patients are putting off needed dental work. increasingly than 40 percent of dentists report that visits for preventative dental care are plus on the decline.
Taking care of your teeth now can prevent expensive dental procedures in the future. And while regular dental visits do play an crucial role in overall care, here are some at-home remedies that will help your smile — and your wallet.
1. Drink plenty of water. Rinse with water in amidst meals, particularly after drinking beverages such as soda, wine and coffee that stain teeth. Water additionally helps stabilize breath odors. Whenever possible, drink tap water, which has minerals that are stripped out of nearly all bottled waters.
2. Eat a piece of cheese. At the end of the meal, a piece of cheese can help neutralize acids.
3. Chew sugar-free gum. Occasionally chewing gum increases saliva production, that can neutralize and wash absent plaque acid, while additionally bathing the teeth in minerals such as calcium, phosphate and fluoride, which are known to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
4. Wait to brush after acidic drinks. whether you consume a lot of acidic beverages, like orange juice and soda pop, wait to brush for at least 20 minutes to reduce the chance of enamel wear. Instead, swish your mouth with water or chew sugar-free gum to activate your saliva and rid your mouth of the acids that can damage your enamel.
5. Rinse with hydrogen peroxide. A small amount of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water makes an excellent anti-bacterial and whitening rinse after brushing. Don’t swallow!
6. Brush with baking soda. Plain baking soda is a gentle abrasive that can clean like toothpaste. Apply a small amount to your damp toothbrush, brush and rinse.
7. Use a straw. Drinking soda, coffee, and red wine through a straw can help play down direct contact within your teeth and these staining liquids.
8. Soften your toothbrush. Sensitive teeth may find relief after softening toothbrushes bristles by rinsing them with hot water before you brush.
9. Avoid sugar and starches. Both sugar and carbohydrates feed the bacteria in your mouth that cause tooth decay. And sweet treats are not just the issue: a handful of crackers can have the same effect as a sweet bar at feeding bacteria.
10. Brush and floss! Perhaps obvious, but dental disease starts with the residue from foods and beverages that you eat. Be certain to floss at least once a day, preferably before you brush your teeth. Brush at least twice a day and preferably after every meal.
Data was collected for the Chicago Dental Society’s 144th annual Midwinter assembly, which begins at McCormick Place in Chicago on February 26, 2009. The exhibit floor opens on February 27.

Hello Dr. Rassman and thank you for your day.
I see that you talk a lot about the difference within course hair and fine hair. It seems to me that someone with really straight hair nearly always has fine hair and one with even slightly wavy hair has a courser hair. Is the straightness of your hair generally a good indicator to how course or fine your hair is?
Also i have lost a fair amount of hair in my frontal area and the remaining hair in the front is now kind of crinkly, … [visit site to read more]
