📣 Attention Ontario Seniors (65+)

A friendly reminder that August 1st marks the start of a new $100 deductible period under the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) Program.

💊 What does this mean?
Most seniors will begin paying toward their $100 annual deductible when filling prescriptions.

👉 This amount is usually spread out over several prescriptions — unless your first fill in August is a high-cost medication.
After the $100 is paid, you’ll only pay a co-payment of up to $6.11 per covered prescription.

Are you a low-income senior?

You may qualify for the Seniors Co-Payment Program (SCP), which offers:
✅ No $100 deductible
✅ Reduced co-pays (max $2 per prescription)

📌 Who qualifies?
• Single seniors with an annual net income of $25,000 or less
• Senior couples with a combined net income of $41,500 or less

📄 You must apply to receive these benefits — ask your pharmacist for help or visit Ontario.ca for more info.

💧 Drink water or an electrolyte drink
💆‍♀️ Stretch and gently massage the muscle
⏸️ Take a break from exercise for a few hours

Hydration is key! If you need advice or summer health essentials, we are always here for you. 💚

🌞 Spot something suspicious? Remember ABCDE!

✅ A — Asymmetry
✅ B — Border irregularity
✅ C — Colour variation
✅ D — Diameter over 6mm
✅ E — Evolving shape, size, or colour

Check your skin regularly, and don’t hesitate to ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have concerns. Your health comes first! 💙

✅ Outdoors? Remember your tick check!

If you’ve spent time in grassy or wooded areas, check your skin daily — and don’t forget your scalp! A quick check can help you spot ticks early.

Found one? Stay calm — not all ticks carry Lyme disease. Remove it safely with a tick removal kit and soothe any irritation with anti-itch cream. Visit us to ask your pharmacist about it

We’re here to help you enjoy the outdoors safely this summer! 🌿💙
