PUBLIC NOTICE ABOUT LONART DS PACKAGING — WHICH IS ORIGINAL?

My attention has been drawn to the recent circulation and public concerns regarding the two different packs of Lonart DS currently seen in the market.

Many people have been asking questions about:
🟡 The Yellow Pack
⚪ The White Pack

Some even concluded that one is fake and the other original.

After clarification from the manufacturer — Greenlife Pharmaceuticals Ltd — it has been stated that:

BOTH PACKS ARE ORIGINAL.

According to the company:
• One is the older packaging design
• The other is the newly updated packaging

This means the change is mainly due to product rebranding and packaging update — not because one is counterfeit.

Important Public Education

Drug companies sometimes change:
• Product design
• Pack color
• Label arrangement
• Security features
• Printing style

while the medicine content remains the same.

However, people should still remain careful because counterfeit medicines truly exist in the market.

What You Should Always Check:
• NAFDAC registration number
• Expiry date
• Batch number
• Authentication code
• Proper seal
• Manufacturer’s details
• Purchase from trusted pharmacies or medicine stores

Do not panic simply because a medicine pack looks different from the one you used before.

Sometimes manufacturers upgrade packaging to:
• Improve security
• Reduce counterfeiting
• Modernize branding
• Improve patient identification

Simple Layman Explanation

Think of it like changing clothes:
A person may wear a new outfit but still remain the same person.

In the same way:
A medicine may change packaging while the active medicine inside remains the same.

For now, according to Greenlife Pharmaceuticals Ltd, both the white and yellow Lonart DS packs are genuine products.

Brustan N Syrup is a medicine used for
Fever
Pain
Teething discomfort
Body aches and inflammation
Most Brustan N syrups contain Ibuprofen, while some formulations may also contain Paracetamol.

Can you give it together with Babyrex or Bonababe?

Both of are analgesic, they work almost the same thing but different strengths, giving them together to a baby at the time is wrong. So my answer is NO, you can't give both or mix both together.

Frusemide injection is a medicine that helps the body remove excess water and salt through urine. It is commonly called a water tablet medicine, but the injection form works faster.

✅ Uses of Frusemide Injection
👇
Severe body swelling (edema)
Heart failure with fluid retention
Kidney-related fluid overload
Liver disease with swelling
Some cases of very high blood pressure as directed by a doctor

✅ How It Works
👇
Frusemide makes the kidneys produce more urine, helping the body get rid of excess fluid. After injection, the patient may start urinating more within a short time.

⚠️ Important Things to Watch
Frequent urination is expected when taking frusmide
It can cause dehydration if too much fluid is lost.
It may lower potassium levels, causing weakness, muscle cramps, or irregular heartbeat.
Blood pressure may drop, leading to dizziness.

👉Use With Caution in
Patients who are severely dehydrated.
Patients with very low blood pressure.
Patients with severe electrolyte imbalance unless corrected.

Frusemide injection is used to remove excess fluid from the body. It helps patients with swelling, heart failure, and fluid overload by making them urinate more.

Always use it under proper medical supervision because too much can cause dehydration and low potassium levels.

Panadol vs Panadol Extra — Are They Really The Same?

Many people think:
“Na only packaging different.”

But there is actually an important difference.

Plain Panadol

Contains only:
Paracetamol

It helps with:
Fever
Mild headache
Body pain
General aches

Panadol Extra

Contains:
Paracetamol
PLUS
Caffeine

Why add caffeine?

Caffeine can help the medicine work better for stronger pain like:
Migraine
Severe headache
Toothache
Menstrual pain

But here is the part many people don't know:

Panadol Extra may cause:
Restlessness
Fast heartbeat
Difficulty sleeping
Jittery feeling

especially if you already drink:
Coffee
Energy drinks
Tea

Important:
Panadol Extra is NOT ideal for everybody.

Children and some pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid self-medicating with it unless advised properly.

Another dangerous mistake:
Some people take:
Panadol
PLUS
Panadol Extra together

thinking it will work faster.

This can increase risk of Paracetamol overdose and liver damage.

Simple takeaway:

Plain Panadol → Everyday pain & fever

Panadol Extra → Stronger pain, but with caffeine

Always read medication labels carefully.

Medication awareness saves lives.

Many people use hydrogen peroxide to clean their ears — but is it really safe?
Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most commonly used products for ear cleaning. Many people pour it into the ear whenever they feel there is wax, blockage, itching, or discomfort.
But is this always safe?
The answer is NO.
While hydrogen peroxide can help soften ear wax, excessive or improper use may cause:
Ear irritation
Burning sensation
Dizziness
Dryness inside the ear
Damage to the ear canal
Worsening infection if the eardrum is perforated
It should especially be avoided if you have:
Ear pain
Ear infection
Ear discharge
A hole in the eardrum
Previous ear surgery
Remember:
The ear is self-cleaning in many cases. Inserting substances or objects into the ear unnecessarily can do more harm than good.
If you have persistent blockage, pain, or hearing difficulty, it is safer to see a healthcare professional for proper examination and treatment.
