It is the middle age, when plaque starts to deposit in the arteries.

Cholesterol levels must be controlled from the 30s.

High cholesterol levels are a silent killer.

It remains asymptomatic for years.

It shows up in the form of a heart attack or stroke, years later.

Proactive Cardiac Care – Early Statin Therapy 

Cholesterol levels (LDL) are directly linked to cardiac health.

The cardiovascular risk is determined based on –

• cholesterol levels
• metabolic dysfunction
• family history
• genetics
• smoking
• Weight, etc.

10-year or elevated 30-year risk factors are evaluated.

The risk factors are classified as low, medium, or high.

The updated guidelines for LDL levels to be targeted-

• Below 100mg/dl –for people at borderline risk
• Below 70mg/dl – for intermediate risk
• Below 55mg /dl – for low-risk people

Prescribing statins in your 30s significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues.

Statins are the first-line therapy due to several benefits –

• Lower cholesterol (LDL) synthesis in the liver.
• Reduce inflammation
• Stabilize existing plaque in the artery walls
• Excellent safety profile

The low LDL levels prevent-

A decline in sexual desire with age is inevitable.

The reduced libido at the age of 30 years in a man is not desirable.

Low sex drive is termed as the hormone testosterone decline.

The hormone degrades by 1 percent every year after the age of 30.

However, libido is believed to rise until the age of 40.

Hormones matter, but they don’t complete the story.

It becomes important to identify the real causes and the complexities leading to sexual dysfunction.

At Aprazer Healthcare (erectile dysfunction medicine manufacturer), we are dedicated to manufacturing effective, reliable solutions to improve sexual functionality.

We manufacture a wide range of sexual dysfunction medicines-

• Erectile dysfunction medicines
• Medicines for premature ejaculation

We are the largest exporters of erectile dysfunction combinations.

We supply ED drugs to all –

• Leading hospitals
• Pharmacies

Know why your sex desire is reducing, even at a young age?

Sexual desire is not purely individualistic.

It is influenced by several psychological and environmental factors.

• Overall life satisfaction
• Stress level
• Relationship status
• Health status

How does stress influence your libido?

The long-term stress influences hormones.

It increases the production of cortisol.

In turn, it reduces testosterone formation.

The stress puts the body into survival mode.

It saddens the mood.

It affects both –

Psychological and Physical sexual functioning.

Why does physical inactivity reduce libido?

The lack of physical activity increases body fat.

The excess fat increases testosterone breakdown.

The minimal physical work reduces the blood flow to the pelvis.

It declines energy levels.

An alcohol habit may affect your sex drive. How?

A small amount of alcohol initially improves sexual efficacy.

However, chronic consumption depresses the nervous system.

It slows down blood flow.

It lowers testosterone production.

It damages the nerves and blood vessels, leading to erectile dysfunction.

Other drugs that reduce sex desire-

• Stimulants can constrict blood vessels, leading to ED.
• Sedatives suppress the natural desire.
• Opioids lower testosterone production.

Can a habit of pornography reduce sexual urge?

It replaces the need for intimacy.

It desensitizes the brain (dopamine).

The highly edited visuals cause brain to habituate to novel material.

The person loses desire and satisfaction in natural ways.

The idealized bodies in porn lead to performance anxiety and higher expectations.

The practice of solo masturbation reduces the emotional connect for a partner.

The last but not least is sleep dysfunction- 

Sleep balances the body cycle.

It regulates hormones and stress.

Poor sleep drops testosterone levels and reduces blood flow.

It affects both the sexual desire and the physical arousal.

Underlying Medical Conditions – 

Various chronic illnesses directly influence sexual functioning.

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Depression

They cause hormonal shifts. It decreases blood flow.

Certain medications also suppress hormone secretion.

Conclusion- 

The majority of the causes of sexual decline in young people are lifestyle factors.

These can be reversed easily through proper interventions.

How do medicines travel in the GIT tract? Understanding the hostile environment

The drug is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract at multiple sites.

The GIT tract consists of the stomach, intestine, and colon. Each has a different pH and microbiota.

The absorption of the drug in the GIT is hindered by various factors –

 PH conditions – 

The acidic PH degrades many drugs, leading to irritation or sometimes low solubility.

• Stomach PH is acidic
• Intestinal PH is neutral
• Colon PH is alkaline

Digestive enzymes –The proteolytic enzymes degrade the drug.

It reduces systemic absorption.

Thick mucus – the mucosal layer traps the drug particles. It inhibits the drug from reaching the internal layer for absorption.

Tight epithelial junctions – The tight junctions between the cells prevent the passage of large molecules or hydrophilic drugs.

What are the targeted Systems for increased Oral Drug Absorption in the Gastrointestinal Tract? 

PH responsive systems – 

It is the coating of the drug molecule to dissolve at specific pH levels.

Polymers like Eudragit, etc.

It is widely used for targeted drug delivery in the intestine, the ileum, or the colon.

These bypass the low acid in the stomach.

Mucus penetrating/mucoadhesives – 

Mucosadhesive polymers like chitosan/ carbopol adhere to the mucus layer.

It increases stay time and drug release.

Mucus-penetrating nanoparticles cross the mucosal barrier.

These reach the underlying epithelial layer for absorption.

Microbiome-activated systems- 

They are microbial-triggered systems; the coating layer disintegrates when targeted by a specific enzyme or the colon bacteria.

Nano-carriers- The drug coating consists of lipid-soluble carriers or polymeric carriers for controlled drug release.

These are used to increase –

• Drug loading capacity
• To increase solubility
• Prevent PH degradation

Gastroretentive systems – 

In order to prolong the gastric stay of the drugs, gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are adopted.

These are widely used for drugs that have –

• Narrow- absorption in the upper GIT tract
• Local action
• To increase the solubility of the drug in the stomach

It includes –

• Floating systems – they float in the stomach, increasing the stay in the stomach.
• High-density systems- they sink in the gastric fluid, prolong its stay.
• Swelling systems – they swell up, preventing them from rapidly passing through the pyloric sphincter.

Conclusion – 

The modern drug delivery system has shifted from merely releasing the API to better absorption, targeted action, and fewer side effects.

It is not the condition that the body does not respond to antibiotics.

It is caused when the bacteria do not respond to antibiotics.

It is a global health challenge.

The unselective and frequent use of antibiotics has emerged as a threat to effective treatment.

It leads to treatment failure and the spread of the disease.

Ultimately, developing resistance to the drug.

Antimicrobial Resistance- Why and How?

The bacteria or the microbes change their structure.

It gets adapted to the antibiotics.

The medicine becomes ineffective.

It is not able to treat bacterial infection.

Antimicrobial resistance is caused by – 

Over prescription/self-medication – 

The frequent use of antibiotics.

The self-medication causes an overuse of antibiotics.

Without identifying the strain, these are used over the counter to treat simple flu and viral infections.

Antibiotics in viral infections – 

Antibiotics can’t be used for viral diseases.

It cannot cure viral infections.

It causes unnecessary exposure. It provides an opportunity for the bacteria to develop resistance.

Incomplete treatment – It leaves the viable bacteria.

The remaining microbes lead to the development of resistance.

Overuse of antibiotics – 

The use of pesticides in agricultural processes.

The antibiotics in cow milk.

It causes an accumulation of antibiotic content in the body.

It increases the risk of developing resistance.

Insanity and unhygienic – 

The contaminated water and surface.

It is the breeding area for resistant bacteria.

Incorrect use of antibiotics – 

Not using a specific antibiotic for the particular strain.

It increases the risk of resistance.

How does antimicrobial resistance lead to treatment failure?

The development of resistance to the bacteria renders the following effects-

It leads to inefficacy of the treatment.

It causes the spread of bacterial infection.

It leads to the use of stronger antibiotics for infections.

It advances the disease to chronic and complex conditions.
