Products to successfully tackle random butt-ne and nip slips... 😭
1. An acne-clearing lotion created especially for your bum that features an anti-bacterial and moisturizing formula with tea tree oil to help reduce breakouts. This innovative skincare product will help make sure your rear is acne-free and ready to show off.
www.amazon.com
Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with acne from Mayo Clinic.
Promising review:"This product works, but takes time! I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! if you are willing to wait for the results then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time) the acne does come back! So I would use for awhile after skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
2. A set of reviewer-beloved reusable silicone Nippies, which allow you to wear your favorite tops and dresses without worrying about stubborn bra straps or nipples showing.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown has tried these and raves: "I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"
Promising review: " This is probably the third pair I've purchased over the past several years. I mainly wear them when we go on vacations to warm places and I have a dress or something with an open back. They stick well, clean up well, and have lasted... [over eight] hours in the tropical humid heat on numerous occasions! Love how seamless they are too!" — Randi N.
Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in three sizes, with or without lift, and five shades).
3. A bottle of Bio-Oil with over 38,000 5-star ratings because of how effectively it helps fade scars, stretch marks, dark spots, and acne marks. Its moisturizing, multipurpose formula features rosemary, chamomile, and lavender oils, along with vitamins A and E, for a skin-soothing all-over oil.
Promising review:"AMAZING PRODUCT! I am amazed! I wash my face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser while in the shower, and immediately after getting out of the shower put BioOil on my skin. That is all I do. I do have a spot treatment from Neutrogena with 10% maximum-strength benzoyl peroxide for those SUPER STUBBORN pimples, but hardly use it since starting with BioOil. I will forever use this product and recommend when I can. I have olive-toned, freckled, medium to dry skin with oily nose and forehead, adult hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation. BioOil has given me a literal GLOW! I feel confident with my face again. I hardly leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Good luck on your healthy skin journey." — Amazon Customer
Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $11.12+ (also available in 6.7 oz. and 4.2 oz.).
4. A bottle of signature Fur Oil designed for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt.
Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems..." — In the know
"Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer
Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available in 0.5-oz. and 2.5-oz.).
5. An avocado heating pad that boasts a soothing lavender scent to help whisk you away to a place of comfort (read: your bed or couch). It takes less than two minutes in the microwave to get this huggable heating pad to a temperature that'll help with cramps and other body aches, so you can start feeling better in a jiffy!
Promising review:"This little guy is amazing. Bought it for cramping and it's so warm and comfy. It really helps relieve pain and has a nice light lavender scent (definitely not overpowering). Perfect little heating pad, and it's cute, too!" — Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $27.84.
6. A top-rated, alcohol-free oral rinse for anyone struggling with keeping their breath fresh even after a thorough brush and floss routine. Not to mention, it helps combat bad breath caused by allergies or nasal drips, which is great because, until those clear up, there's not much you can do!
www.amazon.com
Pour a capful, swish and gargle for 30 seconds, after you've finished brushing your teeth in the morning and at night.
Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. I've found that gargling and using the TheraBreath throat spray in addition to rinsing with this have greatly improved my breath. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available in mild mint).
7. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula to help put a stop to excessive sweating for anyone constantly drenched, no matter the occasion. Each application works for up to seven sweat-free days.
Each application works for up to seven days. As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!
Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 30).
8. And a dermatologist-recommended antiperspirant hand lotion to help reduce hand sweat that might be making everyday things difficult, like writing, opening jars — basically anything that requires dry hand friction. All it takes is a pea-sized amount to help reduce that wet, clammy feeling.
Promising review:"I've suffered with sweaty hands for all of my life. It's an issue that has caused me embarrassment and anxiety where there should be neither. I've only just started using this lotion, but I can tell it's making a difference. It definitely has a distinct drying effect and makes my hands feel smooth." — Gary
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents and packs of two and three).
9. The cult-favorite Laneige lip sleeping mask — it's earned over 37,000 5-star ratings from customers who've transformed their dry, chapped lips by using this overnight balm. A hydrating blend of coconut oil, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter helps soften lips, but there's also a glossy finish in case you ever want to wear it out!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer uses this product, and here's what she has to say:"I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime, too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings, too!"
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, balms, Vaseline even, and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honest, the first time I used this product, I literally saw instant results overnight! I know I can be on a little pricy side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of, PLEASE buy this product; it's HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!" — Abdullah S.
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in six colors/scents).
10. Some Sevích hairline shadow, so you can conceal graying roots and thinning hair without dropping $$$ at a salon. This simple powder also delivers the appearance of thicker hair, so everyone will think you spent your weekend doing all sorts of witchcraft to completely eliminate your grays. 🪄
It's also cruelty-free and contains nontoxic plant fibers and beeswax, so it's safe to use on your scalp and skin!
Promising review:"My hair is thinning on top and at the crown, and this powder is just what I need. A few dabs along the part and at my crown, and it dims down the shining scalp and makes my bald spots much less obvious. It doesn't rub off easily and is sprinkle-proof. I got caught in the rain and it had no effect on it, yet it washed off easily. I used it on my eyebrows with a stiff, angled brow brush, and it worked GREAT, too! My hairdresser used this on me and advised me as to the color. I have medium ash brown with grey hair, so she advised the gray (I got the darker gray), and even though I thought it kinda looked dark in the pot, it was perfect for me. If you have a problem with thinning hair and want a quick, inexpensive hack, this is your product." — D. Kauble
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 20 shades and three sizes).
11. A pack of Mighty Patches designed to practically disappear your pus-filled blemishes and pimples with barely any effort. Whether you wear them to sleep or throughout the day, these circular patches work their absorbent magic over the course of a few hours, aka right before your eyes.
Promising review:"These patches are great for white heads. I personally put these on right after I wash my face and let my skin dry. The patch will absorb the gunk from your blemish preventing the bacteria from spreading to other parts of the skin. These speed up the healing process as well. They stick very well but only to clean and dry skin. They come off easily when you need them to without causing any discomfort. I always need to have these on hand!" — Tristan Schultz
Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
12. Or these XL Surface Mighty Patches, which can tackle several pus-filled pimples or zits at once in larger areas (like your jawline, back, or neck). Get at those blemishes in harder-to-reach areas and worry less as the hydrocolloid works overnight. Oh, and even if you move around in your sleep, these sticky strips won't budge!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each strip is 2 inches long and can be cut into smaller sizes if necessary.
Promising review:"Amazing! I was using a number of little patches on large areas and they just didn't work that well. I put this patch on my chin and left it over night and was extremely pleased with the results. I had two little pimples and a bunch of hard-to-get blackheads. My chin has never been more clear. It basically feels like those clear waterproof Band-Aids so it did not slide off during the night. I was so surprised and a little grossed out that so much gunk was in my chin. I highly recommend these patches!" — Erin Brown
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.89.
13. Medicated, waterproof bandages to help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin if freezing hasn't been giving you the results you want. Over 38,000 customers have rated it 5-stars for its jaw-dropping results (some after just one application)!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed...It felt like I was doomed to have it for forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it and on a whim tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube
Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29.
14. A three-step cradle cap system for gently removing flakes from your little one's scalp. Simply soap up the included double-sided sponge brush and massage in circular motions on their head, and finally use the fine-tooth comb to lift the flakes away!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand.
Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children's and the American Academy of Dermatology.
Promising review:" A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone and it does wonders on the scalp and keeping the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." — LM01
Get it from Amazon for $14.39.
15. A set of Sea Bands that are designed to help reduce nausea by applying pressure to a specific acupoint on your wrist. Now, you might not have to miss out on valuable vacation moments or family time due to motion sickness!
Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising reviews:" Purchased these for a trip to DisneyWorld for an 11 year old who gets extremely motion sick. Every single day she wore them, she was fantastic, whether in the car, on rides, monorail, etc... Not only did it work for her, it also avoids the need for ingesting medications like dramamine which can make kids sleepy or even taking Tums to quiet their stomach AFTER they already feel sick. It may be the power of suggestion, but it absolutely saved our trip!" — Karen M. Johnson
"So, it turns out I get VR-related motion sickness. That got me pretty upset since really like VR gaming. A friend of mine got pregnant and told me she bought a pair of these to deal with morning sickness, and I thought I'd give them a try. Turns out they work great. I can wear these and game with my Oculus for hours." — James Brummett
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in six colors).
16. A travel-size Poo-Pourri — it's small enough to carry around in your purse or pocket, so you never have to worry about leaving public restrooms or friends' washrooms smelling stinky. When you gotta go, you gotta go, but this will make it a lot more discreet.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I like this spray. It smells really good and is small but great to put in your purse in case you go into someone house and use there bathroom and don't want to leave a smell. I love this brand so much I went online and got a bigger bottle. I would highly recommend it because it really works great." — kiara
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in six sizes).
17. A two-pack of dark spot corrector bar soap boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots wherever you want to.
Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney

The reviewer above used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn!
Promising review:"I think this is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it to anyone who fights facial redness. I sometimes wear it alone, but under cream foundation and light powder it works even better. I was totally amazed at how much it evened out my skin tone! And honestly I didn't think it could be done." — Chris
Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in four shades).
19. Handmade Heroes Vegan Coconut Lip Scrub — don't you agree your lips deserve some TLC, too? This pocket-sized powerhouse is designed to exfoliate dry skin on your lips and leave them with a moisturized, rejuvenated appearance thanks to a blend of avocado oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil.
Promising review:"I absolutely love my scrub. It did exactly what it is supposed to, exfoliate my lips. It is unscented, except from the natural coconut from the oil. I highly recommend this. The packaging is super cute too. A bit larger than I was expecting, so bonus. 😁" — Lillyannah
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
20. TruSkin Vitamin C Face Serum, a splurge-worthy serum that has earned over 95,000 5-star ratings for how efficiently it brightens and firms skin — reviewers say they've noticed unbelievable results within weeks!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
TruSkin Naturals is a small business creating unique skincare products.
Promising review: "TruSkin Vitamin C Skin Serum has been nothing short of a revelation for my skincare routine. From the very first application, I could tell this was a game changer.

Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two scents).

The brand recommends using it every three to four days for up to eight weeks for best results.
Promising review:"For so many years I couldn't wear black, would have to dust my chair off, and was constantly moisturizing my nose and face. One day, a doctor friend suggested I try this out for my nose, she didn't know I suffered with severe dandruff as well. She then told me to use it on my scalp as well. At first it did nothing. Then magically after say, the third week of using this off and on, I noticed a difference. I now have almost zero dandruff, 10,000 percent better and I no longer have a dry flaky nose, brow, or beard area. My face is no longer red as well. This has been a miracle cure for me. One I take for granted but quickly remember when I put on a black shirt or check my chair for an embarrassing snow storm. Try it!!!" — Grumpy Dad
Get it from Amazon for $15.88 (also available with conditioner).
24. A must-have and infinitely washable face roller for anyone with oily skin. Its volcanic stone roller ball soaks up excess oil and delivers an instant matte finish in seconds, leaving your makeup intact. A shiny T-Zone will never get you down when you've got a magic stick like this!
Amazon
Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." — Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
25. Or these blotting papers to absorb and help remove excess oil from your T-zone. If you're a combination-oily person like me, these deserve a dedicated place in your purse, toiletry bag, etc. Plus, using them won't mess up your makeup; just remember to blot, not wipe!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have been using these for over one year, and they are by far the best oil blotting sheets I have ever used. The biggest plus is that they do not smudge my makeup at all, so no touch-ups are needed after using. They are super absorbent, and I can blot my entire face with one sheet. I have them on a monthly subscription, and they are worth every penny. Highly recommend!" — AKRP2380
Get a 100-sheet pack from Amazon for $6.95 (available in four styles and packs of 200 and 600).

www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can't beat this price for the results either." — Ashley Steigerwald
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
27. O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream that helps transform and soothe dry, cracked skin with a protective moisture layer that delivers hydrating relief.
Promising review:"My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions and paint on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the the product. I've tried it and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands and my fingertips are well on the way towards healing....and this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony and money." — Desert D
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
28. A stainless-steel blackhead spatuala for anyone who doesn't even have enough time in their day to schedule a facial, let alone actually get one. This easy-to-use scrubber helps unclog pores using high-frequency vibrations, which helps you have skin that better absorbs your favorite skincare products. Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean!
See it in action on TikTok here.
I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!
Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff really is awesome. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." — SweetPea
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes; also available in an anti-blister balm).
31. *AND* an aluminum-free, lotion-to-powder anti-chafing cream specially made for the nuts, the family jewels, the rocks below the surface. It's designed for odor control and sweat defense, so no matter what you've been up to, everything still feels fresh at the end of the day.

Promising reviews:"This provides relief to the heartbreak of sweating balls all day. Your balls will be cool and dry all day and will thank you for the week to come." — Tech Guy
"I like the smell. A sweat-proof product that will last a hot 10-hour shift in hot weather. When I say hot weather, 90 degrees or less it's an effective product. No chafing, and balls are bone dry." — Robert Wind
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
32. An itty-bitty toenail brace set, so you can help reverse painful ingrown nails in no time with barely any effort at all. Just apply the strip to your toenail, and it'll straighten out the sides to help eliminate any pressure. Turns out, those boots were made for walking — you just had an irritating ingrown toenail.
www.amazon.com
The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs.
Promising review:"I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product, did I realize that I had a major problem, and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails, that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" — Jamie H.
Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99.
33. A heat-activated anti-frizz treatment — you can't predict the weather, and you definitely can't predict when frizz is going to literally cramp your style! But this magical, moisture-repellent, anti-humidity product goes into your hair before blowdrying to deliver some serious, can't-believe-it-until-you-see-it results.
www.amazon.com
The short version: it works like an keratin treatment.
Promising review: This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I l don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. — Lillee45
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
34. A super cute set of six silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout and can lead to great results like improved bladder control and more pleasurable sex.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The silicone material means these kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water.
Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think [anyone] who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more mad dashes to the rest room because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use.

B.C. mom picks up her son's ADHD medication, is given an opioid instead
A mother on Vancouver Island is warning people to double check their prescriptions after she was accidentally dispensed the powerful opioid hydromorphone instead of her son's regular ADHD medication. Comox, B.C., resident Sarah Paquin, 31, says she still shudders to think about what could have happened to her nine-year-old son had her husband not noticed the medication looked different before he gave it to him. "It was terrifying," Paquin said, standing in her front yard and playing with one of her three boys. "One simple little mistake like that could have ended horribly." WATCH | 9-year-old dispensed opioid in pharmacy mix-up: Paquin says she didn't think too much of it when she went to pick up her son Declan's medication last week and the staff member at her local Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy didn't check her ID or take out the prescription from the bag. The next day, her husband was about to give Declan his medication when he saw the pills were a different colour and shape than normal. Her husband looked at the bottle and noticed the prescription was for someone else, and that it was for hydromorphone. Right away he returned the pills to the pharmacy. "Immediately your mind goes to the worst case scenario," Paquin said. "The results could have been catastrophic and it just makes my heart sink to think about what could have happened." Hydromorphone is a powerful opioid that is two to eight times stronger than morphine and is often used to treat acute pain or chronic cancer pain. According to the Mayo Clinic, it can cause serious unwanted effects or fatal overdose in children. Human error CBC News reached out to Loblaws, the company that owns Shoppers Drug Mart. In a written statement, the company said the incident was a case of "human error" that never should have happened. "We have controls in place to minimize risks like this — where the patient was handed the wrong prescription bag — and the associate will review these with employees to avoid a similar situation in the future," the company said. Paquin says she has since heard from the pharmacist, who was very apologetic. She says he acknowledged that steps were missed and standards were dropped, and told her the employee who dispensed the medication has been suspended pending an internal investigation. Asking for accountability Despite his reassurances, Paquin has filed a complaint with the College of Pharmacists of B.C. "The pharmacy needs to take responsibility, be held accountable for what happened," she said. In an email, the college told CBC News it takes these types of errors very seriously. "We have legal requirements in the Health Professions Act bylaws in place to prevent these occurrences, including mandatory standards for prescription preparation to ensure accuracy of the prescription product and consultations for all prescriptions, to make sure clients understand their medication, how to take it properly, and address any questions," the college said. As part of pharmacists' consultation with clients, they are required to confirm the person's identity, name and the strength and purpose of the drug, it added. In 2023-24, the college says it received a total of 990 concerns through its intake process. Of those, 54 became formal complaints and investigations, 16 of which were medication related. Paquin decided to share her ordeal on social media, to warn others to check their prescription before taking it. "It's scary that it happened to us, but I'm also in a way kind of thankful that it happened to us and we caught it because it could have been given to somebody who didn't notice and got hurt," she said.

Texas Hospital Discharged Woman with Untreated Ectopic Pregnancy. Then She Started Bleeding Out: ‘Oh My God, I'm Dying'
Kyleigh Thurman filed a complaint against Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital after suffering an ectopic pregnancy. The medical emergency led to a ruptured fallopian tube that caused heavy bleeding A federal investigation has now found that the hospital broke the law by failing to give Thurman proper medical careA federal investigation has found that a Texas hospital broke the law by failing to give a woman proper medical attention following an emergency pregnancy complication. In August 2024, Kyleigh Thurman filed a complaint against Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital over a February 2023 visit when she suffered an ectopic pregnancy. According to the Mayo Clinic, ectopic pregnancy "occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus." This type of pregnancy cannot proceed normally because "the fertilized egg can't survive,' and it can lead to 'life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated." Court documents claim the hospital discharged Thurman, 36, without treatment, after allegedly giving her a pamphlet about miscarriage. She later returned due to continuous vaginal bleeding, but was 'denied care' again. 'It was not until her OB/GYN pleaded to hospital staff that she be given care that the hospital provided the necessary care,' the filing states. 'This care was too late, and Ms. Thurman's ectopic pregnancy ruptured due to the hospital's delay in treating her.' It was during this third visit to Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital that Thurman was reportedly told her case was now severe and her life was at risk due to the heavy bleeding. The untreated ectopic pregnancy resulted in one of her fallopian tubes rupturing. '[My OB/GYN] came in and she's like, you're either going to have to have a blood transfusion, or you're going to have to have surgery or you're going to bleed out,' Thurman told the Associated Press, through tears. 'That's when I just kind of was like, 'Oh my God, I'm, I'm dying.'' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Thurman underwent emergency surgery to remove one of her fallopian tubes, ultimately jeopardizing her fertility moving forward. A spokesperson for Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital tells PEOPLE that they cannot comment on Thurman's case, but noted that it 'is committed to providing high-quality care to all who seek our services.' Shortly after Thurman's complaint was filed, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a federal investigation into her case. According to AP, investigators concluded in a report last month that Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital failed to give her a proper medical screening exam, including an evaluation with an OB-GYN. The hospital also reportedly violated the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), which requires emergency rooms to provide stabilizing treatment to all patients in medical emergencies. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! The report stated, per the outlet, that Thurman was 'at risk for deterioration of her health and wellbeing as a result of an untreated medical condition.' 'We see patients with miscarriages being denied care, bleeding out in parking lots. We see patients with nonviable pregnancies being told to continue those to term,' Molly Duane, an attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights that represented Thurman, told the outlet. 'This is not, maybe, what some people thought abortion bans would look like, but this is the reality.' Abortion is currently banned in Texas after six weeks, which is before most people know they're pregnant. The law does not allow exceptions for women who were impregnated as a result of rape or incest. Under the legislation, private citizens can also sue doctors or abortion clinic workers who perform or help to set up the procedure. The near-total ban has led to numerous claims of delayed pregnancy-related care — even for care that is legal under state law — due to fear of the extreme penalties for physicians who violate the abortion ban. In 2022, the Biden administration released guidance specifying that hospitals must provide an abortion if needed to treat a patient with an emergency condition. States including Texas challenged that guidance, saying it equated an abortion mandate. On June 3, the CMS announced that it would revoke the Biden-era guidance, explaining in a statement that it would 'work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability caused by the former administration's actions.' 'CMS will continue to enforce EMTALA, which protects all individuals who present to a hospital emergency department seeking examination or treatment, including for identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy,' the agency said. However, Thurman told AP that she had hoped the investigation would lead to a more clear message that ectopic pregnancies must be treated by hospitals despite state abortion bans. 'I didn't want anyone else to have to go through this,' Thurman said. 'I put a lot of the responsibility on the state of Texas and policy makers and the legislators that set this chain of events off.' Read the original article on People

Alzheimer's blood test can accurately pick up early symptoms
A new blood test for Alzheimer's disease can accurately detect people with early symptoms, research suggests. Experts from the Mayo Clinic in the US have provided further evidence that blood tests can work to accurately diagnose dementia, by examining two proteins in blood plasma. These proteins – amyloid beta 42/40 and p-tau217 – are associated with amyloid plaque build-up, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found the blood test was highly accurate, with 95% sensitivity, which means it was 95% accurate in picking up people with memory problems, with very few cases missed. It was also 82% for specificity, which means it was also highly accurate in ruling out people without dementia. The study was carried out on more than 500 people in an outpatient memory clinic, meaning it is real-world data. The blood test has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration regulator in the US. Dr Gregg Day, who led the study in the Alzheimer's and Dementia journal, said the test was as good as more invasive tests currently in use. 'Our study found that blood testing affirmed the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease with 95% sensitivity and 82% specificity,' he said. 'When performed in the outpatient clinical setting, this is similar to the accuracy of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of the disease and is much more convenient and cost-effective.' Overall, researchers found that p-tau217 levels were higher in patients with Alzheimer's disease versus those without the disease. Dr Day said the next steps in the research were to evaluate blood-based testing in more diverse patient populations and people with early Alzheimer's who show no cognitive symptoms. Dr Richard Oakley, associate director for research and innovation at the Alzheimer's Society in the UK, said the results 'suggest this test is very accurate' and could be used alongside other tests and observations from a trained health professional. "This study shows how blood tests are making diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease quicker, easier and more accessible than ever before in a real-world setting," he added. "While focused on Alzheimer's disease, the test was evaluated in people with other types of dementias too, showing that it may help with differentiate causes of cognitive decline – though more research in diverse groups of individuals and in community-based setting is still needed."
