The terrifying truth about heart disease, which continues to be one of the leading causes of serious illness and death, is that it develops quietly – for years, even decades, before making itself known. By then, the damage is often irreversible.

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it also means being extra careful about what you put into your body. Not all medications are safe during pregnancy, and even common over-the-counter medicines or supplements may need to be avoided or adjusted. Before taking any medication during pregnancy, always speak to a healthcare professional or pharmacist. It's not about being paranoid – it's about knowing that what worked before might not be the best choice now.

A pharmacist can help you
• Check whether a medication is safe during pregnancy
• Review your current prescriptions and supplements
• Identify possible medication risks or interactions
• Provide guidance on managing common pregnancy symptoms safely

The team is here to help guide you safely through every stage of your health journey.

When should I visit the doctor's office or go straight to the emergency department? Knowing the right place to go can save time and sometimes even save a life. If you’re unsure of the severity of a medical problem, seek assistance at an emergency department sooner rather than later.

Feeling okay on the outside but struggling inside? Take a breath and check in with yourself. You might be experiencing high-functioning depression. Depression comes in many forms. High functioning depression can be especially hard to recognise. You may still juggle work, home and social life but your wellbeing can quietly suffer.

Signs to watch for:
• Fatigue
• No longer feeling joy
• Poor concentration
• Guilt
• Restlessness
• Sleep disturbances
• Appetite changes

Even if you “seem fine,” low-level symptoms can persist for months or years.
You matter. Break the silence on mental health and seek support from your doctor or clinic.
