Birth control pills, also known as oral contraceptives, are one of the most common and effective methods of preventing pregnancy. They contain hormones—either a combination of estrogen and progestin or progestin alone—that work by stopping ovulation. Without ovulation, there is no egg released for fertilization, which prevents pregnancy.

In addition to preventing ovulation, birth control pills also thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for s***m to reach the egg. They can also thin the lining of the uterus, reducing the chances of implantation. When taken consistently and correctly, the pill is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, though typical use places effectiveness closer to 91%.

Beyond contraception, many women use birth control pills to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce cramps, manage acne, and lower the risk of certain cancers.

Macular degeneration, often referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is an eye condition that affects the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss in people over 50. While it doesn’t cause complete blindness, it can make everyday tasks like reading, driving, or recognizing faces much more difficult.

There are two main types: dry AMD, which is more common and progresses slowly as the macula thins with age, and wet AMD, which is less common but more severe, caused by abnormal blood vessels leaking fluid under the retina. Symptoms may include blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low light, straight lines appearing wavy, or dark spots in the center of your vision. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection, since symptoms often don’t appear until the condition has progressed.

Women’s health is unique, and certain symptoms can signal serious underlying conditions. At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we want to empower women to recognize warning signs early and seek the right care. Paying attention to your body can make all the difference in preventing long-term health issues.

Here are 5 symptoms women should not ignore:

1) Unusual chest pain or shortness of breath – These can be signs of heart disease, which often presents differently in women than in men.

2) Persistent abdominal bloating – Ongoing bloating may indicate digestive issues or, in some cases, ovarian cancer.

3) Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding – This can point to hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or other reproductive health concerns.

4) Sudden, severe headaches – While headaches are common, intense or frequent migraines may signal neurological issues.

5) Unexplained weight loss or fatigue – These can be linked to thyroid problems, diabetes, or other chronic conditions.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic, we provide guidance, resources, and products to support women’s health at every stage of life. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait—consult a healthcare professional.

Eszopiclone, commonly known by the brand name Lunesta, is a prescription medication used to treat insomnia—a condition where people struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep. Classified as a sedative-hypnotic, eszopiclone works by calming brain activity, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

This medication is typically prescribed for short-term use, as sleep medicines are most effective when taken for limited periods. Eszopiclone is available in tablet form (1 mg, 2 mg, and 3 mg) and usually begins working within 30 minutes. While it can be effective, it’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, since misuse or long-term use may lead to dependence or side effects such as daytime drowsiness.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, our pharmacists are here to answer your questions about eszopiclone and other sleep aids. We can provide guidance on safe use, potential interactions, and lifestyle tips to improve sleep naturally.

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are convenient and effective for managing everyday health concerns like colds, allergies, or pain relief. But it’s important to remember that these medications are still powerful and can affect your body in significant ways. Reading the label carefully ensures you understand the active ingredients, dosage instructions, and potential side effects before taking them.

Labels also help you avoid dangerous interactions. Many OTC medications contain similar ingredients, and doubling up can lead to accidental overdoses. For example, taking multiple products with acetaminophen can harm your liver. Labels also highlight warnings for people with certain conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, and provide guidance on safe use for children and seniors.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, our pharmacists are here to help you interpret medication labels and choose the safest option for your needs.

Avocados are more than just a tasty addition to your meals—they’re a powerhouse of nutrition. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados help support heart health by lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and raising good cholesterol (HDL). They’re also loaded with potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and fiber, which supports digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

Beyond heart health, avocados provide a wide range of vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin C, and folate, which contribute to skin health, immune function, and cell repair. Their anti-inflammatory properties make them an excellent choice for reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Plus, the combination of healthy fats and fiber makes avocados a great food for managing blood sugar levels.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we encourage small, healthy choices that add up to big results. Adding avocados to your diet is a simple way to boost nutrition and overall wellness.

Dark chocolate isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients that can support your health. Rich in antioxidants, iron, magnesium, and flavonoids, dark chocolate has been linked to improved heart health, better brain function, and reduced inflammation. Flavonoids in particular help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, making dark chocolate a smart indulgence when enjoyed in moderation.

Studies show that dark chocolate may also boost mood by stimulating the production of endorphins and serotonin. Its antioxidant properties help fight free radicals, which can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Plus, small amounts of dark chocolate can support cognitive function and may even improve exercise performance by enhancing circulation.

So, how much is healthy? Experts recommend enjoying 1–2 ounces (about 30–60 grams) of dark chocolate per day, ideally with at least 70% cocoa content. This way, you get the benefits without excess sugar or calories.
