🎉 When 20+ years of service earns you a little extra authority…

To celebrate Chris’s incredible 20+ years with us, she’s officially been promoted to Decision Maker for the Week 😄

But let’s not forget Ralphie the Elf! 🧝‍♂️
Chris and Ralphie have become the best of friends and when these two are together, there’s absolutely no arguing. Their decision was unanimous…

Continue the offer of:

✨ 20% OFF gifts
✨ 20% OFF Caruso’s Vitamins

Originally, this offer was only available until the end of last week but Chris and Ralphie decided it was far too good not to share a little longer, so we’ve extended it to help everyone get into the Christmas spirit 🎄

And honestly… we think they make a very good point.

If you missed celebrating her 20 years of service last week and want to pop in to see Chris, she is in the pharmacy from today to Friday. 🩷

⚠️ Safety Update for Patients on 6-Monthly Osteoporosis Injections (Denosumab / Prolia & Biosimilars)

New guidance now highlights a stronger warning about the risk of multiple spinal fractures if treatment is stopped or delayed.

🔍 What’s changed?
• New spinal fractures have been reported as early as 7 months after the last dose. Denosumab is due every 6 months.
• Stopping or delaying your injection without medical advice can significantly increase your risk.
• The Product Information and Consumer Medicine Information have now been updated to make this warning clearer.

💬 What this means for you
If you are on denosumab:
• Do not stop your injections or postpone your appointment without speaking to your doctor.
• If treatment needs to be discontinued, your doctor may switch you to another therapy to maintain bone protection.

🌟 What You Can Do Now:

1️⃣Check your due date
Look at your last injection date and confirm when your next 6-monthly dose is due.

2️⃣Book ahead
If your dose is coming up, organise your appointment now.If you’re already overdue, speak to your doctor as soon as possible.

Our pharmacists can also administer the injection if you are unable to get an appointment to have it administered af your doctor in due time. You must have a prescription for denosumab for us to administer it.

3️⃣Ask us about our free reminder service
Our pharmacy can help remind you when your next injection is due and guide you on how to organise your script.

Even if your doctor sends reminders, technology can fail, a backup reminder helps keep your treatment on track.

4️⃣Talk to us and your doctor
It is important to get more information about this and talk about the best way to manage your osteoporosis medication (denosumab).

📣Please share this post with family and friends if they have osteoporosis.
