17.01.2022 No one likes sweltering in the summer heat, and neither do your medicines. Extreme heat and exposure to light can cause your medicines to physically change. Check your medicine label to ensure you’re storing your medicines correctly. https://www.tga.gov.au/whats-my-medicine-label

15.01.2022 There are no two ways about it - getting a good night’s sleep is essential. It’s not only the way our bodies rest and restore themselves, but good quality sleep helps maintain the immune system and keep our organs healthy.

During February, we’re offering half price sleep apnoea at home studies at Capital Chemist Chisholm. Come in and see us to book in yours today.

11.01.2022 Back to school can often mean one thing: the dreaded head lice. Did you know that 30% of all primary school aged children get head lice at least once a year? It’s enough to make anyone start scratching their head. Finding a treatment to suit your children can be challenging but we have tips and tricks to help you get rid of these nuisance infestations. And it does take time and patience - something which maybe our younger patients don't always have a lot of!... Ask our pharmacists for a treatment option that suits you!

09.01.2022 Changes to the wording on your prescription from February 1. ‘Active ingredient prescribing’ becomes the norm. So you might see a script or repeat with wording that says ‘esomeprazole’ instead of Nexium, ‘atenolol’ instead of Tenormin, or ‘paracetamol’ instead of Panamax. Active ingredient is another word for generic ingredient. It’s the name of the actual medicine in your prescription. ... This change reduces the chance of errors and mis-communication between episodes of care, between doctors, pharmacists, nurses, hospitals and other health care providers. It’s important to note that the product you are supplied with won’t change; in most cases brand choice rests with you, the patient. For more information, ask one of our pharmacists or have a quick look at the government’s guide here: https://www.nps.org.au//active-ingredient-prescribing-all-
