Pharmacology Q&A with Dr. Madison | WIRED

Clinical pharmacist Dr. Christina Madison joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about pharmacology and pharmaceuticals. Does a medication “go bad” after its expiration date? How do extended release pills work? What are the pros and cons of GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic (semaglutide?) Is melatonin dependency bad? Why have we never found a cure for the common cold? Dr. Madison answers these questions and many more on this edition of Pharmacology Support.
