在英國安排定期處方藥物
Setting up repeat prescriptions in UK

當您註冊GP診所時，請提供您定期藥物的詳細 資料，例如您的重複處方藥單或醫生證明信。

診所設定好你的重複處方後， 你可以自行透過NHS app 應用程式訂購您的重複處方藥物。

有些藥物需要定期複查，以確保您能夠安全地繼續服用。如果您沒有藥物複查，您有機會無法繼續獲得所需的藥物。

只有在您病情穩定且規律服用後，藥物才能透過重複處方獲得。

* 有些在香港開立的某些藥物無法透過 NHS 獲得。 如有疑問 ，請向藥劑師和醫生查詢。

When you register at a new GP surgery. Please give details of your regular medications such as your repeat prescription slips or doctors letters confirming which medications you are on.

You can order your repeat prescriptions via the NHS app once set up at your doctor surgery.

There will be medications that need a regular review to ensure you can safely continue on them. You may get a reminder by the pharmacist or your GP surgery. If you do not have these reviews, you may not continue to get your medications.

Medications will only be available on repeat prescriptions only after you are stable on them and take them on a regular basis.

Remember that there may be some medications prescribed in Hong Kong you may not be able to get on the NHS. However, most will be available.

攝取維生命C，維生素D， 抗氧化和鋅等營養素

2. 定期做運動
如跑步、游泳等有氧運動

3. 充足睡眠
爭取 7-9小時的優質睡眠

每天 1.5-2 公升

5. 學習減壓的技巧（如冥想、放鬆、 靜觀）來維持身心平衡

6. 避免不良習慣（如過度飲酒、抽煙)

這些生活習慣不僅可以增強你的免疫系統，還可以降低你長期疾病和癌症的風險。

1. Eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and protein. Providing immune boosters such as vitamin C, vitamin D, antioxidants, and zinc.

2. Regular physical activity such as jogging, walking, swimming

3. Get enough sleep
Aim for 7-9 hours of good quality sleep

These lifestyle habits not only boost your immune system but can also reduce your risk of long-term health conditions and cancers.

最後，如果您符合規格接種疫苗，我建議您預約接種流感疫苗和新冠疫苗，這有助於預防嚴重病發症。

Improving your gut health will help your immune system

Boosting your immunity starts with good lifestyle habits, and we can discuss this in our next reel.

在英國可以買到Fluimucil嗎？

在某些國家，這種藥無需處方即可在藥房購買，通常以粉裝形式出售。但在英國，您不會在藥房買到這種治療咳嗽和感冒的非處方藥。

Fluimucil的成分是N-Acetylcysteine，研究顯示它可以稀釋或溶解呼吸道中的黏液。在英國，這種藥物未獲得許可，僅用於治療慢性肺部疾病，例如慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）。

不過，您可以在保健品商店和網路上購買N-Acetylcysteine補充劑。它的作用是提高體內glutathione 的水平，Glutathione 以其抗氧化、抗炎和排毒功效而聞名。

雖然Acetylcysteine 作為補充劑廣泛銷售，但其可能的副作用包括：
腹瀉、噁心和嘔吐、頭暈。
在極少數情況下會出現嚴重的過敏反應。
如果您近期患有胃潰瘍或肝病，也應謹慎使用。

如果咳嗽持續，最好諮詢醫生，並在服用任何保健品之前諮詢醫療人員。

Can you buy Fluimucil in UK?

This medicine can be bought in pharmacies without a prescription in some countries, often seen in a sachet form. However in UK you will not find this over the counter as a medicine for coughs and colds.

The ingredient in Fluimucil is Acetylcysteine, which has been shown to thin or dissolve mucus in the airways. In UK, this medicine is not licenced, and it is only prescribed to patients with chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.

However, you can buy N-Acetylcysteine as a supplement in health shops and online. It works by boosting glutathione in the body, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification effects

Although it is widely available as a supplement, possible side effects include
diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, dizziness.
Very rarely severe allergic reactions

You should also be cautious if you recently had a stomach ulcer or have liver disease.

It is best to consult a health professional if you have a persistent cough before starting on any supplements.

如果您住在英國並有孩子，您的藥箱裡多數會備有這兩種藥。

Calpol = 撲熱息痛 Paracetamol
最適合緩解疼痛和發燒

Nurofen = 布洛芬 Ibuprofen
最適合緩解疼痛和發燒
也有助於消炎
如果您的孩子正在出牙，或患有耳部或喉嚨發染，這種藥物可能更有效。
• 避免用於水痘

好多時，我們並不一定知道是什麼導致了孩子的不適。
在這種情況下，我建議先給孩子服用 Calpol，如果孩子還是不適，再給Ibuprofen。 Calpol 和Nurofen 可以一起服用。

請閱讀包裝盒或瓶子上的說明，以了解用量。
我建議您在服藥時記錄時間和劑量，以便清楚了解 24 小時內的用量。

If you live in UK and have children, you will likely have these 2 medicines in your medicine cupboard.

Calpol = Paracetamol
Best for reducing pain and fever

Nurofen = Ibuprofen
Best for reducing pain and fever
Also helps reduce inflammation
May be more effective if your child is teething, or has an ear infection or throat infection.
• avoid in chickenpox

Truth is, we don't always know what is causing our child's discomfort.
I would recommend in these circumstances to first give Calpol, and if your child is not settling, then to give Ibuprofen. Calpol and Ibuprofen can be given together.

Read the instructions on the box or the bottle for how much to give.
I would recommend that you always document the time and dose when you give the medicines so you are clear on how much you have given within 24 hours.

Always get advice from a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your child.
