Company
MIAMI, FL -- October 8, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Progressive
Care Inc. (OTCQB:
RXMD),
a personalized healthcare services and technology company, today
announced the Company has garnered media coverage in HuffPost and
Fast Company.
Huffpost
is a leading digital news and opinion website in the United States.
The publication reached out to Progressive Care's CEO, Shital Mars,
for expert commentary on the healthcare reaction to the FDA's
notice on Zantac (Ranitidine).
In
the article titled
Here's Why Zantac Was Pulled From Stores, And What You Should Do
Now,
published
on October 1, 2019 by HuffPost, Mars provides expert advice on what
to know about the popular heartburn drug ranitidine being recalled
for containing an impurity that may cause cancer. Mars explains
that not all Zantac and generic products are affected, "There are
numerous over-the-counter medications currently on the market that
treat stomach ulcers and/or acid reflux, including Prevacid
(lansoprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole), Pepcid (famotidine),
omeprazole, pantoprazole, and calcium carbonate." Mars suggests
that patients should check with a medical professional first if
they are concerned about making a switch from their typical
medication.
Mars
suggested other ways to treat heartburn by identifying the source
and eliminating it. "Most cases of excess stomach acid are caused
by dietary factors and/or stress," Mars said. "Try to identify the
root cause of acid reflux for you personally and eliminate or
moderate exposure that food or situational catalyst, which could be
anything like spicy foods, tomatoes, chocolate, coffee, alcohol,
fatty foods and acidic foods. This will prevent reliance on
antacids for daily living."

world's leading business media brand, with an editorial focus on
innovation in technology, leadership, world changing ideas,

business, politics, sports, and entertainment. Ms. Mars was
recently featured in an article discussing female leaders and their
advice on overcoming professional setbacks.
In
the article titled
7 Female Executives Who Were Fired Share Their Advice
published
on September 19, 2019 by Fast Company, Mars shared what it was like
to be fired and how it made her stronger. Mars suggested advice
was, "You must advocate for yourself". In the article, Mars shared
her story of being fired not only once, but twice. The second
time, a
"broker tried to fire her, but she decided to go to the owner and
advocate for herself: "I marched into his office and said, 'I know
that I'm not good at sales, but there are a lot of things I am good
at, and I know there are a lot of things around here that I could
do for you.' I asked him to keep me around as an administrative
assistant, and luckily for me, he did."
Mars
reveals that her greatest lessons is to "Be your own biggest fan
and admit weaknesses so you can overcome them.'' She goes on to
state, "the thing about setbacks is that they are what you make of
them. Being fired taught me to find the strength to advocate for
myself instead of just giving up or letting this moment define me
negatively."
"It
is an honor to be featured in both HuffPost and Fast Company
regarding breaking news for the pharmaceutical industry my story of
how I have gotten to where I am today," said S. Parikh Mars, CEO of
Progressive Care Inc. "We take pleasure in contributing our
knowledge and expertise in areas where it is most needed within the
industry. It is also my hope that my story inspires others who have
experienced speed bumps in their career to keep going and never
give up."
