Breast cancer can be influenced by many factors, including genetics. While most cases are not directly inherited, about 5–10% of breast cancers are linked to genetic mutations passed down through families. The most well-known are changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which can significantly increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.

Having a family history of breast cancer doesn’t always mean you will develop it, but it does raise your risk. Other factors—such as age, lifestyle, and environment—also play important roles. Genetic testing and counseling can help identify whether you carry mutations that increase your risk, giving you the opportunity to take preventive steps and monitor your health more closely.

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the thin, clear tissue that lines the inside of your eyelid and covers the white part of your eye. The most noticeable sign is redness or a pinkish tint in the whites of the eyes, often accompanied by irritation or discomfort. It can affect one or both eyes and may make them look swollen or watery.

Other common signs include itching, burning, or a gritty feeling, along with discharge that can be watery or thick, depending on the cause. In bacterial pink eye, discharge may be yellow or green and can cause the eyelids to stick together, especially after sleep. Viral pink eye often comes with watery discharge and may be linked to cold or flu symptoms. Allergic pink eye usually causes redness, tearing, and intense itching.

Migraines are more than just severe headaches—they’re a complex neurological condition that can affect multiple systems in the body. One of the most common and distressing symptoms is nausea, which can occur before, during, or after a migraine attack. Studies show that between 20% and 95% of people with migraines experience nausea, and many also report vomiting.

So why does this happen? Migraines activate specific areas of the brainstem, including the dorsal vagal complex, which plays a role in regulating nausea and vomiting. This activation disrupts communication between the brain and the digestive system, leading to stomach upset. Additionally, migraines can heighten sensitivity to light, sound, and smell—triggers that may worsen nausea during an attack.

For many people, nausea is one of the most disabling aspects of migraines, making it difficult to eat, take medication, or function normally.

Every patient is unique, and sometimes standard medications don’t meet individual needs. That’s where medication compounding comes in. At Calgary Drug Mart, our trained pharmacists can customize medications to suit your specific requirements—whether it’s adjusting dosage, changing the form (like turning a pill into a liquid), or removing allergens such as dyes or gluten.

Compounding is especially helpful for children, seniors, and patients with special health conditions. It allows us to create medications in flavors that make them easier to take, combine multiple prescriptions into one dose, or tailor treatments when commercial options aren’t available. With compounding, you get personalized solutions designed for your health and comfort.

📞 Call us at 403-984-9334 or visit calgarydrugmart.com to learn more about how our compounding service can support your wellness journey. At Calgary Drug Mart, we believe in care that fits you—not the other way around.

Insomnia isn’t always about stress or poor sleep habits—it can also be linked to neurological conditions. The brain plays a central role in regulating sleep cycles, so when neurological disorders interfere, sleep can become fragmented or difficult to achieve. Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dementia, multiple sclerosis, and stroke are known to affect sleep patterns, often leading to persistent insomnia.

Neurological sleep disorders themselves can also trigger insomnia. For example, restless legs syndrome causes uncomfortable sensations that make it hard to fall asleep, while central sleep apnea disrupts breathing during rest. Traumatic brain injuries may alter the brain’s sleep-wake regulation, leaving patients struggling with both falling asleep and staying asleep.

At Calgary Drug Mart, we understand how complex insomnia can be. Our pharmacists can provide guidance on managing medications, supplements, and lifestyle strategies that support better sleep.

Managing Parkinson’s disease often means juggling multiple medications at different times of the day. Missing doses or taking them incorrectly can lead to “wearing off” periods, where symptoms return, or unwanted side effects. That’s why it’s important to have a clear system in place to keep track of your medications.

Here are some practical tips:

- Ask questions: When you receive a new prescription, clarify with your doctor or pharmacist how it works, when to take it, and what side effects to watch for.

- Make a list: Keep a written or digital record of all your medications, doses, and times.

- Use a pill organizer: Weekly or monthly pill dispensers can simplify complex schedules.

- Set reminders: Phone alarms or apps can help ensure you never miss a dose.

- Consider auto-refills: Many pharmacies, including Calgary Drug Mart, can arrange automatic refills so you’re never caught without your medication.

At Calgary Drug Mart, our trained pharmacists are here to help you manage your Parkinson’s treatment with confidence. We can review your medication plan, suggest tools to simplify your routine, and provide personalized advice.

Contraceptive pills, often called “the pill,” are one of the most widely used methods of birth control. They work primarily by preventing ovulation, which means your ovaries don’t release an egg each month. Without ovulation, pregnancy cannot occur. The hormones in the pill—usually estrogen and progestin—also make changes in your body to further reduce the chance of pregnancy.

In addition to stopping ovulation, contraceptive pills thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for s***m to reach an egg. They also thin the lining of the uterus, which reduces the likelihood of implantation if an egg were fertilized. When taken consistently and correctly, the pill is highly effective, giving individuals control over family planning and reproductive health.

Beyond birth control, contraceptive pills can offer other health benefits. They may help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce painful cramps, and even improve acne.

Cheese isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients that support your overall health. As a great source of protein, cheese helps build and repair muscles, making it an excellent addition to meals and snacks. It also provides calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, and plays a role in maintaining healthy nerve and muscle function.

Beyond calcium and protein, cheese is rich in vitamin B12, which supports energy production and brain health, and phosphorus, which works alongside calcium to strengthen bones. It also contains selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage. Together, these nutrients make cheese a versatile food that contributes to a balanced diet.
