24.01.2022 When was the last time you had a chat to your Pharmacist about your medicines? MedsChecks are one of many important tasks our Pharmacists do, taking time to sit down with you and discuss how you are going with your medicines, whether anything could be better, and discuss any other potential questions you may have about managing your medications. If you have never had a MedsCheck, or are due for another one, give the Pharmacy a call today and we can help organise one for you.

24.01.2022 Feel like you are juggling a million and one things in the lead up to Christmas? Take a couple of minutes out of your day to slow down. Find somewhere comfortable to sit, take a deep breath in through your nose and focus on the breath as you release it. Even just focusing on your breathing for a minute or two can do wonders for your stress levels and concentration!

23.01.2022 Happy New Year! Here's to an amazing year and a fresh start. We look forward to seeing you in store in 2021! #HappyNewYear #2021 #Australia #NewYear

23.01.2022 It's citrus season! Buying fruits and veggies in season can be a benefit to both your wallet, and overall health! Eating fruits and veggies in their natural seasons encourages you to eat a wide range of different fruits and vegetables throughout the year, giving you a variety in your diet! What fruits can you just not wait for to come into season?

23.01.2022 Did you know your gut is like a second brain? There are millions of microbes in your gut that talk to your actual brain, so what you eat can directly affect how you feel, your energy levels, and your overall health and wellbeing. Eating a wide variety of healthy, fresh foods is a great way to nourish your gut microbiome. A healthy gut has a diverse community of microbes, each of which prefer different foods, so supporting them all can help them flourish!

22.01.2022 Foodborne illnesses like gastro can wreak havoc on our bodies, especially our gut and the delicate microbiome inside. Even if we are washing our hands thoroughly we can unwittingly be putting ourselves and our families at risk by not cleaning surfaces properly, allowing bacteria to spread around the kitchen! When preparing food, make sure you have a few different knives and boards on hand for raw and cooked meats and vegetables. Clean surfaces and utensils well between use, and clean up as you cook! A messy kitchen can bring unnecessary risks, so it is a good habit to get into. What are your top tips for a safe kitchen?

22.01.2022 If you are taking multiple medicines, trying to remember to take them all, at the right times, under the right conditions can sometimes be confusing. We are here to help! We can pack all of your medicines into one, easy to look after pack; your personalised medication pack. If you aren't already using a personalised medication pack, ask your Pharmacist next time you come in and we can run you through the details.

21.01.2022 A very Merry Christmas! From all of us here at the Pharmacy, we hope you all have a wonderful time.

21.01.2022 Did you know that cases of foodborne illness like salmonella have gone down drastically this year? All the diligent hand washing people have been doing has paid off in more ways than one! This week is Food Safety Week, and it is a great time to remind ourselves that when 2020 is finally over, hand hygiene is not something we should leave behind. We will be sharing some more food safety tips this week, so stay tuned!

20.01.2022 Though Men's Health Week is only around for 7 days a year, we are around for 365 of them. If you need help with your mental or physical health, but don't know where to start, our Pharmacists are here for you. We are part of a wide network of health professionals, and looking after you is what we do best, so don't be a stranger and come in for a chat if you need one!

20.01.2022 The cold weather can be tough on all of us, but if you have asthma it can be even more difficult. The cold, dry air can irritate your airways and cause the muscles to spasm, and cold or respiratory tract infection can exacerbate asthma symptoms. It is a good idea to make sure you or your child are taking asthma medicines properly. Come in and chat to our team about arranging an asthma technique check today!

18.01.2022 As great as it is to have a never-ending stream of desserts on the table, don't forget the fruit this Christmas! While chocolate is delicious, it is no-where near as nutritious as a plate of colourful fruits and berries that are full of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Add some fun to them by making fruit kebabs or get fancy with them on a plate like in the picture. It's a great way to encourage the family to eat more fruit!

18.01.2022 With the new year approaching, you may have some health goals you want to set for yourself. Some of the most common new years resolutions are health-related, like quitting smoking, losing weight, and exercising more. If you have a health-related goal you want to reach in 2021, pop in and see us! Our team can help you find the advice and resources you need, to make sure you achieve a healthier you this coming year

18.01.2022 Have you got a snake bite kit? Australia is home to many different species of snake, and while the best way to handle one is to go nowhere near it, sometimes the unexpected can happen. Having a snake bite kit with you if you are out in the bush, or in your car or home, can help you be prepared. Our team can help you put one of these together. A basic snake bite kit will usually contain: - 2-3 large heavy crepe bandages - Antiseptic cream - A thermal blanket... - A marker pen - A snake/spider bite guide Knowing what to do in the event of a snake bite could one day save your life, or the life of someone you love. To learn about what to do if someone is bitten by a snake, you can check out this page written by the Queensland government: https://www.health.qld.gov.au//what-to-do-if-you-get-bitte

18.01.2022 No matter what time of the year, if you are feeling under the weather and need a leave certificate for work, we can help! Come in and grab some relief for your symptoms and our Pharmacist can sign you a leave certificate at the same time. Ask our team for more information next time you are in!

17.01.2022 Earwax isn't always a fun topic, but it is an important one. While it is natural and helps our ears to keep clean and healthy, sometimes it can build up a little and impact our hearing. It is important to NEVER clean your ears with a cotton bud or Q Tip! Putting things into your ears like that risks pushing wax further into the ear, causing wax build-up and possibly even damage to your eardrum! If your ears need a bit of a clean, come in and speak to our Pharmacist about safe ear cleaning techniques and solutions.

17.01.2022 A very happy International Men's Day to all the wonderful men we have in our community Men sometimes have very different health needs than women do, so don't forget if you are ever stuck and just need some advice, our Pharmacy team is always here to lend a hand!

17.01.2022 Don't forget your sunscreen! You might be thinking, it's not hot enough for that yet is it? Remember that sunburn is not about heat, but UV rays. Here in Australia, the UV is a lot stronger than in other places around the world, and you can even get burnt on cloudy days. If you are going outside, even in your own yard, check the UV rating on the weather websites and protect your skin appropriately. If you are not sure where your sunscreen is, or which kind of sunscreen will be best for you and your family, come in and have a chat with our team today!

17.01.2022 The labels on your medicines contain a lot of information. It's name, the dose, and something you might not look at as often - the expiry date. If the medicine is not something you use often, or stopped using, you may find it is out of date. Routinely going through your first aid kit and medine cabinet and checking the expiry dates on your medicines is an important step to reducing possible accidents from someone taking or using something they shouldn't. If you find something that is past it's date, set it aside somewhere safe and bring it into the Pharmacy as soon as you can for proper disposal.

17.01.2022 Planning on doing a bit of gardening this spring? Grass and pollen allergies can affect those who suffer from them when it comes to tending the garden, but there are lots of ways to reduce your exposure and keep healthy this Spring! It is wise to avoid mowing the grass if you can, and stay inside when it is being mown. If you are the only one who can mow it, remember to wear a mask and take a non-drowsy antihistamine before you start that mower. Gardening in the mid-aftern...oon is also a wiser idea than gardening in the morning, as pollen counts can be higher as the morning dew evaporates. Choosing the right plants for your garden can help too. Plant flowers and trees that are insect-pollinated, rather than wind-pollinated to reduce the amount of pollen blowing around in your yard. If you need help with allergy symptom relief and prevention, have a chat to our Pharmacists today. See more

16.01.2022 HAPPY WORLD PHARMACISTS DAY! To all our pharmacists, pharmacy staff, academics, stakeholders and sister organisations such as Ministry of Health and The Pharmacy Council, we wish you all a Happy, safe and prosperous world pharmacists day!

15.01.2022 Today is World Diabetes Day Did you know that 1 in 2 adults living with diabetes are undiagnosed? The majority being those living with type 2 diabetes. Symptoms often develop slowly, and you could have them for years and not really notice. It is worth familiarising yourself with the symptoms, and speaking to your Doctor as soon as you notice them. You can read more about type 2 diabetes here: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/about/type-2-diabetes/

14.01.2022 Ive just heard that in response to our ongoing campaign to save Callan Park from demolition by neglect the State Government has now allocated $10 million as an... initial investment in repairing this magnificent site. SHARE THE GOOD NEWS. Thanks to everyone who has joined the fight to save Callan Park! See more

14.01.2022 When it comes to the dates on your foods, do you know the difference between Best Before and Use By? If you have a product that is "best before" a certain date, it is still okay to eat for a while after this date, but it may have lost a bit of quality by this point. If your product has "use by" on it though, these foods are a little bit more serious. if sold and consumed after this date, they could pose a health and safety risk to the person consuming them, so it is best to f...ollow the label and dispose of these if they pass this date. Some products may have a "use by" date that is well into the future when you buy it, but keep an eye on "once opened" warnings too. Some of these products stay well preserved in their packaging, but once they are opened may only last a few days or weeks. Remember, foodborne illness can be serious, so if you are not sure about a food, trust your gut and dispose of it safely! See more

12.01.2022 This week is Sleep Awareness Week! Getting good sleep is crucial to making sure your mental and physical health stays at it's peak. When we aren't getting appropriate, quality sleep, our bodies don't have time to rest and repair, and our brain doesn't have the time to process information it has learned efficiently. If you are having problems with your sleep, have a chat to your Pharmacist today, so we can help you get back to sleeping like a baby again. For more information about Sleep Awareness Week, visit https://www.sleephealthfoundation.org.au/ #SAW2020 #SleepAwarenessWeek

11.01.2022 There is no question that drinking caffienated drinks well into the afternoon and evening can disrupt your sleep, but what SHOULD you drink before bed? While a popular solution for some to get to sleep is a whiskey nightcap, this is not advisable at all. While alcohol can make you fall asleep fast, it contributes to poor sleep throughout the night, disrupting REM sleep, interrupting your circadian rhythm, and causing havoc when your brain and body need to be resting. The Sl...eep Council in the UK have provided some great suggestions for alternatives to the nightcap. Warm milk is effective in stress reduction, and even the psycological link we have between a glass of milk and bedtime may even be responsible for our more restful sleep after drinking one. Herbal teas like chamomile and peppermint also have properties that can relax the body and soothe you off to sleep.

10.01.2022 To all the Dads out there, near and far, we want to wish you all a Happy Father's Day!

10.01.2022 When was the last time you thought about beets? Beetroot is BRILLIANT! Red beetroots have been ranked as one of the 10 most potent antioxidant vegetables and are also one of the richest sources of glutamine, an amino acid, essential to the health and maintenance of the intestinal tract. Beetroot is rich in fibre, and the greens (which you can eat, cook them up just like spinach) are rich sources of calcuim, iron, and vitamins A and C. Though you can find them throughout the year, they are at their sweetest and most tender between June and October, so right now is perfect! Try working some beets into the menu for next week

10.01.2022 Breaking News Flu vaccine is now available at Adore Compounding Pharmacy Rozelle. No booking requiredWalk in service.

10.01.2022 If you took our advice from earlier in the week and had a look through your medicine box to find a medicine that is past it's best before date, don't throw it in the bin! Expired medicines that end up in the bin can end up in all sorts of places we don't want them; in the soil, in our waterways, or in the bellies of wildlife who don't know what it is! Here at the Pharmacy we have the facilities to dispose of expired medicines properly, to make sure they do not end up in any of these places. If you find something at home that needs to be taken care of, bring it in to us!

10.01.2022 Ladies, what advice would you have given to yourself when you were a young girl if you could speak to her today? The world a lot of women grew up in is very different to the ones our daughters and granddaughters are growing up in, in both good ways and bad. The internet has kept us more connected with our friends and family than ever before, but it also invites the judgement of others into our homes through social media. Studies have shown that social media usage can have a serious effect on the mental health and self-esteem of young people, especially young girls, so raising them to have a healthy relationship with social media is crucial for happy, healthy young women.

10.01.2022 Eyes feeling a little tired lately? There could be a number of reasons for it! Excess focus on screens from televisions and cellphones, dry winter wind and allergen buildups in the home can all cause ocular discomfort. If you are having problems with dry or tired eyes, have a chat to our Pharmacist today about options to help your eyes feel fresh again!

07.01.2022 Spring is here, and that means it's also time for some spring cleaning! When you're on your usual cleaning blitz this year, don't forget to air out your bedding! Over Winter dust, dander and other nasties can accumulate as we often have doors and windows closed for long periods of time. Give doonas a good clean if you can, fluff out those pillows and give them some nice direct sunlight for a while.

07.01.2022 First aid and wound care sometimes has a lot more involved than just popping a bandage on and hoping for the best! If you are coming in to the Pharmacy to stock up on your first aid kit essentials before Summer really hits, have a chat to one of our team members about the different types of wound care products, and how to use them. Depending on the injury, there are many wound care solutions that could work best, and our team are experts. We can give you knowledge on a range of products, so if the unexpected happens, you know what to do!

06.01.2022 Always look on the bright side of life

05.01.2022 To say life has been a bit crazy this year might be the understatement of the century, but we want to take some time to think about all the things that make us happy. Self care is more important than ever. Sleeping well, eating to nourish our bodies, and doing the things we love can all have a great impact on our mental health. What is it that is bringing you joy right now? Did you read a great book? Watch a great tv show?... Start a new exercise routine? Or maybe you've kept sane by eating a favourite food? Let us know in the comments below!

04.01.2022 Our next question for National Diabetes Week, is what is GI? You may remember it from high school, but GI stands for glycemic index. This is a ranking of carbohydrates according to how they affect your blood glucose levels. Generally, the lower the GI, the slower the rise in blood glucose levels after you have eaten a carbohydrate (this can differ from person to person though). The terms low, medium, and high GI are all given to different foods that fit along a scale of diff...erent ranges. These ranges, along with some example foods, include: Llow GI (less than 55) examples include soy products, beans, fruit, milk, pasta, grainy bread, porridge (oats) and lentils Medium GI (55 to 70) examples include orange juice, honey, basmati rice and wholemeal bread High GI (greater than 70) examples include potatoes, white bread and short-grain rice. GI can be a complex subject, so you can visit the below links to learn more: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/glycemic-index https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au//carbohydrates-and-the

03.01.2022 This week is Women's Health Week While it may look a little different this year, it is still a time for us to turn our focus to the health of all the ladies and girls in our community. There are some fantastic online events being held, everything from women's health talks to yoga classes! You can find out more at https://www.womenshealthweek.com.au/the-week/

02.01.2022 It's finally here, the last day of Winter! Are you ready for Spring? What are you looking to most about the coming season? A change of weather? Or maybe just the fact it's one step closer to the end of the year

02.01.2022 Put down that frozen hash brown!! Making your own hash browns is incredibly easy, and much better for you than pre-made, pre-fried, processed & frozen hash browns! All you need is 2 potatoes, half an onion, 1/4 cup of flour, an egg, a pinch of salt, and some oil to fry them in. Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.... Heat oil in a large heavy pan over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1cm thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping. Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. It's as easy as that! Enjoy your delicious breakfasts!

01.01.2022 With only 2 days to go before Christmas, things are getting a little crazy! We do want to remind you to check your first aid kit. It doesn't take long but could end up saving you or someone you love a lot of trouble should the unfortunate happen. If you're not sure what could be missing from your kit, make a list of what you have and pop down to the Pharmacy, we can help you fill in the rest!

01.01.2022 A conversation can truly change a life. Just picking up the phone, asking someone you care about "R U OK?" and having a chat with them can sometimes be the highlight in their day and it is always worth making time for, every day of the year. For more information about 'R U OK? Day' and ways to talk to people if you aren't sure what to do, visit https://www.ruok.org.au/

01.01.2022 This week is National Diabetes Week, and we are taking some time to answer questions people often have when it comes to the subject of diabetes. The first, what is insulin? Insulin is a hormone made by cells in the pancreas. When you eat, insulin is released into your blood stream where it helps to move glucose (sugars) from the food we have eaten into our cells to be used as energy. In people with type 1 diabetes, their bodies produce little or no insulin as the cells have b...een destroyed by an autoimmune reaction in the body. This is why daily insulin injections are required for people living with type 1 diabetes. In people living with type 2 diabetes, the body produces insulin, but it does not work as well as it should. Their bodies become resistant to the insulin, so the body tries to make more but it is hard to get the balance right. If you would like to learn more about insulin, you can visit https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/insulin See more
