Don't let tummy bugs ruin your Summer! Gastroenteritis (sometimes called “gastro” or “stomach flu”) is a common illness that causes vomiting and diarrhoea and can last from a few days up to a week. It can affect both children and adults.
How Does it Spread?

• Close contact with someone who is sick
• Touching contaminated surfaces (like taps, toilet handles, toys, nappies)
• Eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water
• Breathing in germs from someone who is vomiting, coughing, or sneezing nearby
• Handling pets or other animals

Symptoms

• Watery, frequent stools (may be greenish-brown or tan)
• Vomiting (usually stops quickly)
• Diarrhoea (can last a week or more)
• Fever, nausea, headache, loss of appetite, cough, or sore throat

Prevention Tips

• Wash your hands often, especially after using the toilet or before eating.
• Clean surfaces regularly.
• Prepare food safely.

When to Seek Medical Help
See a doctor if you:
• Have a high fever (over 38°C)
• Have severe stomach pain
• Notice blood or mucus in your stool
• Can’t keep fluids down or feel very weak

How to Manage Gastroenteritis
• Sip fluids (like water) slowly and often—a teaspoon every five minutes is easier to keep down than a large glass.
• Oral rehydration solutions (available at pharmacies) help replace lost fluids and salts.
• Cool drinks may be easier to tolerate.
• Medicines like loperamide may help with diarrhoea, best to discuss with your GP or pharmacist first.
Come in store and ask your friendly Capital Chemist Crace pharmacist for advice on the most suitable treatment for you.

Flu season is here! Here are five tips to keep you healthy this winter:

1. Get Vaccinated. Not only does your immunity to flu wane over time, the virus changes every year. Yearly ‘flu shots’ are recommended for everyone (except infants under 6 months old). Covid-19 booster recommendations vary. We can vaccinated anyone over 5 years old. Walk-In or book in here:

https://www.medadvisor.com.au/Network/CapitalChemistCrace

2. Wash your hands. If Covid-19 taught us anything, it’s that handwashing matters. Germs can live on surfaces for 24 hours, so wash before you eat, prepare food, or visit an immunocompromised friend or family member.

3. Eat your vitamins. Grandma wasn’t joking about getting your vitamin C. Eat a variety of vitamins and minerals from fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, nuts, oils, and fish. Include fermented foods like yoghurt or sauerkraut for a probiotic boost too. Our range of quality vitamins help a stronger immune support.

4. Sleep for 7+ hours. Sleeping gives our body a chance to focus on producing cytokines – an immune boosting protein designed to target and reduce infection and inflammation. Aim for at least seven hours sleep each night.

5. Live in balance. Flu thrives on stress and bad habits, so support your immunity with balance: move in ways you enjoy, drink plenty of water, spend time outside, quit smoking, moderate drinking, and prioritise activities and people you love.

Talk to your local Capital Chemist to learn more about how to protect yourself and your loved ones this winter. Book your flu shot today, walk-ins subject to availability.

We’re so excited to help support and unveil the latest streetbeat defibrillator, now installed and ready to save lives at Crace Shopping Centre.

70-80 people die in Australia each day, outside of the hospital, from cardiac arrest. It’s one of our biggest killers. Having defibrillators available in public places can be the difference between life and death.

In a cardiac emergency, quick access to a defib can increase the chance of survival by up to 70%

That's why we are proud to partner with Community Bank Canberra and Regions, Service One,Bendigo Bank, and St John Ambulance ACT in the Street Beast initiative to roll out defibs all over Canberra.

De-fibs are easy to use, save precious time before paramedics arrive, it is available 24/7 and empower everyday heroes.

Pictured here are pharmacists from Capital Chemist Crace, along with Kashif from Service One Mutual (Bendigo Bank in Canberra), Martin Fisk from St John Ambulance AC
