🌼 As spring holidays come to an end and the kids head back to school, it’s a good time to keep an eye out for school sores (impetigo)—a common skin infection that often starts as small blisters and spreads through breaks in the skin.

🎯A gentle, warm bath can help clean off scabs and crusts. Keep the area covered, and apply an over-the-counter antiseptic cream from your pharmacy. If things aren’t improving after a couple of days, it’s best to check in with your doctor.

💊 Thinking of buying medicines online? It’s important to understand the risks and to keep a few things in mind:

✅ Stick to registered New Zealand pharmacies. You can check if a pharmacy is legit using Medsafe’s Pharmacy Licence Register.
📄 Prescription medicines should always require a valid NZ prescription, no exceptions.
🚫 Ignore ads or posts claiming a medicine is “approved by Medsafe.” These are never genuine.
👩‍⚕️ When in doubt, talk to your pharmacist or healthcare provider before buying.
⚠️ Medsafe also lists high-risk medicines and current safety warnings.

Stay safe and informed. Learn more here: https://healthify.nz/medicines-a-z/m/medicines-buying-online

♥This September, we’re shining a light on blood cancer, one of the most common and serious cancers worldwide. It affects thousands of lives, often quietly, and its impact ripples through families and communities.

✅Some early signs can be easy to miss: bone pain, fatigue, abnormal night sweats, unexplained bruising, or frequent infections. These symptoms don’t always mean cancer, but its best to have a chat with your GP.

Awareness leads to action. Let’s keep the conversation going.

☀️ Vitamin D does more than just support strong bones. It helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, keeps your muscles working well, and plays a role in your immune and mental health too.

🎯Low levels often go unnoticed at first, but over time they can lead to aches, cramps, and muscle pain. Long-term deficiency may even increase your risk of brittle bones and osteoporosis.

🩺If you're unsure about your vitamin D levels, it’s worth checking in with your GP. A simple test can help you stay ahead of any issues, and there are easy ways to boost your levels if needed.
