🚨There is no scientific evidence proving that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism.

Fever and pain in pregnancy should not be ignored, as both can create risks for the baby and/or pregnant individual if left untreated.

When treatment is needed, Canadian health experts recommend acetaminophen as the first option. It should be used only when necessary, at the lowest effective dose, and for the shortest necessary time.

Nova Scotia Health continues to follow the guidance of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and Health Canada. Families and pregnant individuals are encouraged to speak with their healthcare provider for advice specific to their situation.

Happy Fall at 3:19 pm today!

Good morning, Atlantic Canada! It’s Monday, September 22, 2025. It's the first day of fall with the autumnal equinox at 3:19 p.m. ADT/3:49 p.m. NDT this afternoon!

Variable temperatures this morning with milder temperatures along parts of the coast with cooler temperatures inland. *Some are waking up to frost once again with some interior/lower lying temperatures near and just below freezing. However, temperatures will warm up nicely with temperatures in the high teens to low 20s in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, with mid-high teens for most of Newfoundland. In general that’s near to above normal for this time of year. A fair amount of sunshine is forecast across the region today, but I am watching a few showers that look to develop in northern New Brunswick this evening ahead of a cold front.

Have a good day.

Today we had workers in to fix a few of our lights.

When the workers had to leave for a moment several of our team members ran (so fast, it was concerning) to steal the ladder and hide it in our back room.

Here is their attempt to hide the ladder.

…just another day working at The Medicine Shoppe.😂😬
