25.01.2022 Courtesy of Asthma Australia COVID-19 - WHAT IT MEANS FOR PEOPLE WITH ASTHMA There is no specific data as yet to determine if asthmatics are at a higher risk of contracting the virus.... However, a common trigger for worsening asthma symptoms for asthma flare-ups or asthma attacks is respiratory infections such as colds and viruses. COVID-19 is a respiratory virus. From the information gathered so far, people with a chronic medical condition like asthma may be at more risk of a serious Coronavirus infection compared to those without chronic medical conditions. The primary point is to do what you can, as usual, to avoid cold and flu: * pay close attention to personal hygiene, * wash hands regularly, * avoid close contact with people with symptoms and * obtain a flu vaccination as soon as possible. When it comes to managing your asthma, here is a checklist you can follow: * Ensure you are on a preventer, taking it as prescribed and have a written Asthma Action Plan. You can go back to your GP at any time if you think your medication needs adjusting or if you dont have a written Asthma Action Plan. You might like to ask your medical practice if they provide telephone or telehealth consultations * Ensure you always have access to a reliever puffer (such as Asmol or Ventolin) * Ensure you can identify asthma symptoms and can treat them properly; do you know asthma first aid? * Ensure you understand what your asthma triggers are and how to manage these (it will help to have a written Asthma Action Plan). * If you have allergies such as hay fever, ensure you are treating them * Tell your family and friends you have asthma and make sure they also know asthma first aid and your triggers Our pharmacy currently has stocks of Asmol puffers as well as the 2020 flu vaccine. Come in and see our wonderful pharmacy staff to discuss your health needs.

24.01.2022 How do you know if someone is having a stroke? Think F.A.S.T. The Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions: Face Check their face. Has their mouth drooped? Arms Can they lift both arms?... Speech Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you? Time Is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away. Stroke attacks the brain - Changing lives in an instant. A stroke happens when blood cannot get to your brain, because of a blocked or burst artery. As a result, your brain cells die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. Stroke is one of Australias biggest killers. It kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Australia. More than 475,000 Australians are living with the effects of stroke. This is predicted to increase to one million by 2050. Between 1980 and 2016, overall death rates for stroke in Australia fell by three-quarters. More than 80 percent of strokes can be prevented.

12.01.2022 Winter is a time when we have to be even more aware of our hand-hygeine practices, especially with all the colds, flu and covid19 risks still around. We have plenty of stock of hand-sanitisers currently in store. Medi-SOL is an Australian made product available in 60ml and 250ml sizes.

12.01.2022 Our Pharmacy will continue to be OPEN throughout this Covid lockdown period, as we are an essential service. Firstly we would like to thank ALL our customers for their continued patience and understanding. Prescription dispensing waiting-times may have become a little longer, but we are doing our best to minimise any inconvenience whilst still ensuring we continue to provide our best care for your health and safety. Our phones are also running hot, so please be patient if you... are unable to get through on your first attempt. We have many options available to our customers as an alternative to coming physically into our store: 1) Prescriptions can be left with us in-store, so that you can ring us when you require any medication. This way they will be ready for you to collect. Alternatively we provide a free delivery service (local area). 2) We also have a Script Reminder Service and Mobile App so that communications can be automatically set up through your mobile, organising which scripts you need and letting you know when they are ready to pickup or be delivered. 3) We can organise for you to remain in your car in the car-park out the front of our store. You can then ring us and we will come out to you to collect and return prescriptions to you. 4) We provide a Webster Medication Service, where we can pack your medication weekly into a bister-pack and have it ready to be collected or delivered, saving you the hassle of having to worry about what to take and when. If you feel you would still rather personally come into our store (you are most welcome to and we look forward to seeing your wonderful faces) then we ask the following: 1) Only enter if you are feeling well. 2) Try to limit entry to ONE person per household. 3) We encourage customers to wear face masks whilst in the store. 4) Make use of the hand sanitisation stations set up in the store. 5) Maintain physical distancing. It may even be better to drop off your prescriptions and not stay in-store but perhaps wait in your car for the waiting period. 6) We encourage customers not to request multiple quantities of the same medications, as this sort of practice is what leads to shortages in supply. 7) We encourage people NOT to leave re-filling of their medication to when they have run out, as if we do not have it in stock it may take a day or two to get back in. We will get through this as long as we support and respect each other.

12.01.2022 Mens Health Week. Given its Mens Health Week, its time to focus on what can be done to improve the health of men and boys. Here are some tips that can help Men lead healthier, longer lives. Mental Health: Inactive men are 60% more likely to suffer from depression than those who exercise. Sleep: Men who sleep 7-8 hours a night have a 60% decreased risk of a fatal heart attack than those who sleep five hours or less. Nutrition: Getting your 5-7 servings of fruit and vegg...ies a day is as simple as 1 apple, an avocado, 1 stalk of celery, a grape fruit and 5 pieces of broccoli! Drinking: Those who drink no more than 4 to 10 alcoholic drinks a week have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Drinking more than 10 a week almost doubles the risk. Exercise: Men who climb 50 stairs or walk just 5 blocks a day may lower their risk of a heart attack by a whopping 25%. For support, try chatting to a neighbour, friend or family member. Or call either of the below helplines - stay safe, and know that you are not alone. Lifeline: 13 11 14 Mensline Australia: 1300 78 99 78
