If you see someone in distress at an outdoor festival or sporting event this summer, there’s a chance it’s heatstroke.

Someone with heat stroke may have flushed skin, a rapid heart rate and a high body temperature. Other signs and symptoms of heatstroke can include confusion, a headache and nausea and vomiting.

If you think someone may be on the verge of heatstroke, here’s how to cool them down fast:

 Get them into the shade or indoors
 Remove excess clothing
 Put them in a cool shower, use the spray from a garden hose, or apply cool wet towels to their head, neck and armpits.

Talk to our pharmacist if you have any questions.

Summer is a time for picnic’s, street food festivals and indulging in some of your seasonal favourites! Take caution though, because during these warmer months, bacteria multiply faster and the chances of food poisoning increase.

If you think you may have eaten something questionable, and are now experiencing nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, you may have a classic case of food poisoning. The good news is that for most people it will resolve within a few days without treatment.

If you are experiencing a case of food poisoning, talk to our pharmacist about oral replacement solutions with electrolytes to manage mild dehydration and other over-the-counter products to treat symptoms from diarrhea to upset stomach.

Dry, scaly patches of skin on your eyelids can be uncomfortable and unsightly.
Common causes of dry eyelids include:
• Red, flaky lids can be a response to an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or eczema.
• Eyelids can become dehydrated and scaly due to exposure to an allergen, like a plant pollen in the air, or as a reaction to a new clothing detergent, for example.

Talk to our pharmacist for tips on taking care of dry eyelids, and for advice on when you should talk to your doctor.

For many, spring weather can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Pollen is a common trigger, but did you know that asthma symptoms can also be triggered by temperature changes, insect repellants and yard fertilizers?

Now is a great time to check the expiry date of your inhalers—or if you can’t find them, call the pharmacy to request a refill.

If you celebrate Easter (or just like to enjoy all the extra sweet treats on the store shelves), you’ll probably find yourself nibbling on some chocolate eggs and other festive treats. It’s okay to indulge now and then, but regularly consuming an excess of sweetened foods and beverages can have a negative impact on the health of you and your family.

If you are concerned about your sugar intake, or have other questions about maintaining a healthy, well-balanced diet, be sure to stop by and talk to our pharmacist.
The pharmacy team wishes a great holiday weekend!

As many as 20 percent of Canadians are living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but not all know it yet because it can be tricky to diagnose.

IBS is a disorder characterized by abdominal pain and a change in bowel habits (which could include frequent diarrhea, constipation, or both). It affects children and adults of all ages.

If you are experiencing symptoms of IBS or have any concerns, stop by and speak with our pharmacist.

During the winter, you’re spending more time indoors, breathing in triggers like dust mites and pet dander, and when you do venture out on a chilly day, inhaling the cold air can also trigger an asthma attack.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to help you breathe a little easier:
• Run a humidifier in your home, to maintain a relative humidity of 35-50%.
• Keep your home tidy by reducing clutter and dusting and vacuuming regularly.
• When you go outside, place a scarf or mask over your nose and mouth.

If someone in your house is struggling with a bout of illness including vomiting and diarrhea, you aren’t alone. The stomach flu (also called gastroenteritis, which literally means inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract) is one of the most common ailments this time of year.

Stomach flu can be caused by bacteria or a parasite, but during Canadian winters, a virus is often to blame.

Learn the latest on symptoms, causes, and managing a bout of stomach flu, from the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research:

There are lots of reasons to try a plant-based diet. Here’s what it means to go meat- and animal product-free.
A vegan diet incorporates all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, grains, and seeds. People who follow a vegetarian diet may consider also eating dairy, eggs, and honey.

If you are thinking about adding a supplement to your vegan or vegetarian diet to balance out any nutrients you might be missing, talk to our pharmacist.

For more information on adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet, read this article from Canada’s Food Guide:

Between all the festive cocktails, dinner parties, holiday baking –– and the stress –– this season can take a toll on your digestion.

If you’re experiencing bloating, pain, rumbling, or other signs of an upset stomach, try these three tips:
• Indulge consciously by being aware of what you’re choosing to nibble on and how much.
• Resist overloading your dinner plate and eat slowly, paying attention to your body’s fullness cues.
• After a large meal, go enjoy a walk while you digest.

Ask our pharmacist for recommendations on products to soothe an upset stomach.
