Colds and the flu can result in a nasty cough, and in many cases finding the right cough syrup can help give you some relief.

If you are considering a cough syrup, remember the following:

 Always follow the directions on the package.
 Typically, cough syrups can be taken every four hours but it’s important not to take more doses in a day than are recommended.
 Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to assist in breaking up mucus and clearing congestion.

Ask our pharmacist for advice on whether a cough syrup could be helpful and if so, which one they would recommend for you.

With back-to-school, and the return of cold and flu season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to review hand washing with your kids.

Good hand hygiene not only helps to prevent your child from getting sick, but it also reduces their risk of infecting others. If you have any questions, stop by and talk to our pharmacist.

To teach kids about proper hand washing technique, check out the popular Operation: WASHUP program. It contains fun, easy-to-understand tools you can use at home: https://www.tevacanada.com/en/canada/your-health-wellness/operation-washup/

Protecting your skin is important all year long, but summer in particular is when you need to stock up on sunscreen!

Did you know that SPF stands for sun protection factor? SPF relates to the amount of time it takes for your skin to burn without any protection. The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends using a product with an SPF of 30 or more daily to protect your skin.

Pollinators like bees are vital to growing the foods we need, and most will ignore us if we leave them alone.

But do you know what to do when you or someone with you has been stung by a bee or wasp?

For most people, a sting is just painful. Dropping into the pharmacy for pain medications or an antihistamine can do the trick!

But for a few, it can be life-threatening. You may not know you're one of them until after you've been stung. A severe allergic reaction to bee stings (anaphylaxis) requires emergency treatment.

Talk with us to know the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and what you can do to protect you and your family. Learn more about caring for an insect sting: https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/care-insect-sting

During the hot, hazy days of summer, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s hydration needs. If you’re spending a lot of time outside, or you and your children are playing sports, and sweating heavily, you could be at risk of dehydration.
The signs of dehydration can include:
• Thirst
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushed skin
If you or someone you are with is showing signs of dehydration, get some liquids in right away. An electrolyte-infused water will help to replenish your body with depleted nutrients. Certain medications can increase your risk of dehydration. Ask our pharmacist for more information.

A red, itchy, sore ear could signal a common complaint during the summer months: swimmer’s ear.

Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the tube that runs from your eardrum to the outer part of your ear. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear, creating a moist environment where bacteria can grow.

This infection can usually be treated with prescription ear drops. Ask our pharmacist if you should see your doctor.

Summer is upon us and for some of you this means a hair removal product has been added to your shopping list.
If you are considering your options, hair removal creams (depilatories) can be a good way to dissolve hair on legs, underarms, bikini lines and more. When used properly, they are safe and effective—but they’re not for everyone. People with damaged skin or chronic skin conditions, like rosacea, psoriasis or even a sunburn, should not use these products.

If you have questions, stop by and speak with our pharmacist.

If you’re frequently hungry, often feel sluggish during the day, and struggle with constipation, you might not be getting enough fibre in your diet.
A diet rich in fibre assists with bowel regularity, lowers cholesterol levels, and helps you feel full. According to Health Canada, women need 25 grams of fibre per day and men need 38 grams daily, but many Canadians only get about half of that.
If you are struggling to reach these daily requirements, our pharmacist can help by finding a fibre supplement right for you. Stop by for personalized advice tailored to your needs.
