My
pharmacist recommends an oral appliance for snoring. Should I buy one?
First
pharmacists are not doctors. They do not know anything about any disease, nor
do they understand the pathology. They only count pills, look smart and take 1-2
hours to dispense your script-not the type of person you should be seeking
medical advice from.
There
are many devices and appliances sold online and in pharmacies to help people
stop snoring. Even doctors have gotten in the habit of recommending surgical
procedures and implants. Unfortunately, none of these devices is guaranteed to
work, and may have serious complications.
If you
have snoring, the best advice is to speak to a physician who specializes in the
ear, nose and throat specialty. Do not rush and buy any device. There is ample
literature on cyberspace where you can read the pros and cons about each
appliance. The best advice if you have snoring is to change your lifestyle and
reduce weight. In many people, just losing weight helps get rid of snoring.
