Preventing medication errors can keep your family safe.

Asking questions and disclosing as much information as you can is the #1 most important tip to avoid medication errors. The 2nd tip is to choose one pharmacy and one doctor. Filling all of your prescriptions at one pharmacy can prevent you from receiving duplicate therapy and medications that may interact with each other. Your knowledgeable pharmacists at either Phillips Drugs store can advise you and keep you and your family healthier. For the other 6 tips, click the link below.

That's the key finding of a new study of the physical activity levels of older women in the US. It didn't matter whether they took steps in short bursts or long walks; women who took more steps each day lived longer on average than those who took fewer steps, this study found. This finding could be good news for people who face barriers to intense daily exercise, the study authors said.

With the beautiful colors and cooler weather, autumn is a wonderful season here in the Whitewater Valley. However, it's also the start of the second allergy season. Ragweed pollen is a major culprit this time of year, and even after the first frost, mold from decomposing leaves can still be a problem.

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆 & 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍:

- Start early! Don't wait for symptoms to begin. Over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal sprays are often most effective when you start taking them a week or two before your symptoms usually appear.

- Keep pollen out. Keep your windows closed, especially in the mornings when pollen counts are typically highest. Use your air conditioner to keep things cool and clean.

- Clean up. After spending time outdoors, change your clothes and take a shower to wash pollen out of your hair and off your skin.

- Be mindful of yard work. Raking leaves and mowing the lawn can stir up mold and pollen. If possible, have someone without allergies do these chores. If you must do them yourself, wear a mask and eye protection.

𝑨𝒕 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝑫𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒔, we have everything you need to stock up for the fall allergy season. From antihistamines and decongestants to saline nasal sprays and more, our pharmacists are here to help you find the right products to manage your symptoms. Stop by and let us help you breathe easier this autumn!

The truth is, antibiotics can only treat infections caused by bacteria, such as some pneumonia, strep throat, and urinary tract infections, among others. This means antibiotics actually won’t help with colds or the flu because these medications do not treat viruses.

When used properly, antibiotics are powerful tools that can save lives. However, taking antibiotics when you don’t need to or taking them incorrectly can lead to antibiotic resistance.

You can fight antibiotic resistance at home in three easy ways:

𝟭. Keep yourself and others from getting sick. Wash your hands frequently, practice proper food handling, and get the recommended vaccines.
𝟮. Only take antibiotics when necessary. Take prescribed antibiotics as directed. Finish the full course of antibiotics even if you start to feel better.
𝟯. Do not share your unused antibiotics.

If you have any questions about your medication, ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider.
