The use of OPZELURA along with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or strong immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclosporine is not recommended. It is not known if OPZELURA is safe and effective in children less than 12 years of age with atopic dermatitis. SELECT SAFETY INFO OPZELURA may cause serious side effects, including: Serious Infections: OPZELURA is in a class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. JAK inhibitors can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious infections, some fatal, occurred when taking JAK inhibitors by mouth including tuberculosis and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Some lung infections were seen in people using OPZELURA. Before starting OPZELURA, tell your healthcare provider if you: have an infection (ie fever, sweating, chills), have diabetes, lung disease, HIV, or a weak immune system. Increased risk of death in people age 50+ with at least one heart disease risk factor when taking JAK inhibitors by mouth. Cancer and immune system problems: OPZELURA may increase your risk of certain cancers (lymphoma, lung, and skin) by changing the way your immune system works. Tell your doctor if you have had any type of cancer. Increased risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in people 50+ with at least one heart disease risk factor when taking JAK inhibitors by mouth, especially in current or past smokers. Blood clots: Blood clots in veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) can happen. This may be life-threatening. These types of blood clots occurred more often in people 50+ with at least one heart disease risk factor when taking JAK inhibitors by mouth.

Every week, we see new warnings about the dangers of smartphones and social media for kids. But here's the truth: technology isn't going away, and avoiding it entirely is unrealistic for most families. Instead of fear, we need a roadmap for teaching kids how to use smartphones responsibly. Zabina Bhasin M.D. (aka Dr. Zee) breaks it down brilliantly in this article, offering actionable tips for parents navigating the smartphone era. Her 5 top tips: 📱Phones Are Tools, Not Toys: Introduce smartphones as utilities — for texting, calling, or finding information — and set clear expectations. ⛔ No social media until age 16. The platforms simply aren’t designed with kids' mental health in mind. ✍🏽 Create a Family Tech Agreement: Involve kids in drafting rules for phone use, like app limits, phone-free zones, and digital detox days. 🧑🏽🏫 Teach Digital Literacy: Don’t just block apps — educate your kids on recognizing online scams, peer pressure posts, and red flags. 👀 Model Healthy Tech Use: Children learn from watching us. Show them what balanced and mindful phone use looks like. This isn’t about being the "cool" parent or the strict gatekeeper — it’s about guiding kids to become responsible digital citizens. 💭 Let’s change the conversation around technology. Smartphones aren’t inherently good or bad — it’s the relationship we teach our kids to have with them that matters.

"When I graduated, I thought I had it all figured out on my own. Until I didn’t. I was convinced I could handle everything myself, that asking for help was a weakness. Sound familiar?" Duckbill's Meghan Verena Joyce writes about the secret key our young adult kids need for success: the knowledge that it's OK to ask for help. https://lnkd.in/eh2rJgDJ

As more and more states ban cellphones in school, we wanted to know how teens *really* feel about being separated from their devices. Our Gen Z intern, Ajani Pinard, took to the streets of NYC to find out. See what they had to say... https://lnkd.in/ecFkURvY

A recent report from Common Sense Media revealed that 72 percent of teens have used AI companions at least once, and about one-third admitted they’ve used AI for social interaction and emotional support — sometimes even instead of talking to real people. In a poll of our own SheKnows Teen Council members, 20 percent of teens said they’ve asked AI for personal advice. To get a better sense of what this looks like IRL, we sat down with two 17-year-old Teen Council members to talk about the phenomenon of “AI therapy” — what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s appealing. https://lnkd.in/efmqgxud

Mel Robbins dropped so much parenting wisdom at the Verizon Unplugged event — and even got her son Oakley to share the Gen Z perspective. Check out her tips! https://lnkd.in/gyXAAKQX

Continuing our deep dive into how teens feel about AI — and how they're using it for everything from therapy to school work — we're thrilled to share SheKnows Teen Council member Juliet Weisfogel's take: https://lnkd.in/e5BzS__m
