Tag: Medication misinformation

Over 40% of U.S. adults are vitamin D deficient, and online misinformation can make it difficult to find reliable information about supplements. A frequently searched query concerns a non-existent medication, leading many to ask, "What is the sunnyd Tablet used for?" This inquiry likely stems from a combination of name confusion with a popular beverage and a real family of vitamin D supplements available internationally.

According to reports, medical misinformation can easily be spread online, making it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. A notable example of this phenomenon is the term 'Kellogg injection,' which is not a recognized medical procedure but a frequent phonetic mistake for the legitimate and widely-used prescription corticosteroid known as Kenalog.

Medication names are often confusing, and a search for a 'Napoleon Tablet' will likely yield no results from reputable sources. This term is a common misconception or misspelling, with the intended medication most likely being naproxen, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Despite its name, which might lead some to believe it is a medical product, **cream chibout** is a delicate and airy French pastry filling first created in 1847 by Parisian chef M. Chiboust. The term is a phonetic misspelling of *Crème Chiboust*, a popular component in classic desserts like the Gâteau Saint-Honoré.
