Key takeaways

Medical supplies and devices are used to manage various conditions, including diabetes, asthma, and certain mental health conditions. These devices work in a variety of ways. Some provide real-time data and essential treatments to help you manage your health effectively. Others provide a physical method for treating certain symptoms. For example, continuous glucose monitors, such as FreeStyle Libre 3 and Dexcom G7, help people manage diabetes by tracking blood sugar levels throughout the day. Carbamide peroxide (Debrox) creates a chemical reaction in the ear canal to help soften and remove built-up earwax. Paragard (copper intrauterine device, or IUD) prevents pregnancy by continuously releasing a small amount of copper to disrupt the movement of sperm in the uterus. These tools and treatments help you maintain better control over your health.

COVID-19 tests help to identify a current or past coronavirus infection. The antigen, or viral test, tells you if you have a current infection. To test for a current infection, a healthcare provider will use a swab to take a sample from the nose or throat. On the other hand, the antibody test tells you if you have a past infection. Practitioners will take a blood sample, usually done by a finger prick or by drawing blood, to test for a past infection.
Disclaimer: Popularity is based on total prescriptions for the brand and generic versions of each drug, regardless of the condition being treated. Some drugs are prescribed for multiple conditions.
