Pollinators like bees are vital to growing the foods we need, and most will ignore us if we leave them alone.
But do you know what to do when you or someone with you has been stung by a bee or wasp?
For most people, a sting is just painful. Dropping into the pharmacy for pain medications or an antihistamine can do the trick!
But for a few, it can be life-threatening. You may not know you're one of them until after you've been stung. A severe allergic reaction to bee stings (anaphylaxis) requires emergency treatment.
Talk with us to know the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and what you can do to protect you and your family. Learn more about caring for an insect sting: https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/care-insect-sting
It’s getting warmer! Are your feet ready for flip-flops and sandals?
Being the most used—and sometimes least cared for—part of your body, your feet are more susceptible to injuries and conditions such as bunions, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, plantar fasciitis, blisters, corns, fungus and more.
If you have concerns about your foot health, drop by the pharmacy. Our pharmacist can recommend over-the-counter medications to remedy many foot conditions and other products to help you best care for your feet.
For every medicine you take, you need to know:
- Its name, what it’s for, and its dosage amount and frequency
- What to do if you missed a dose
- Special instructions for taking the medicine
- Side effects and warning signs of adverse symptoms
We’re here to support your health and wellness. Call us or drop by if you have any questions.

It’s Canadian Men’s Health Month. A great time to encourage the men in our lives to check in with their physical and mental health. Regularly checking-in with yourself can help to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Let’s get active together! Whether it’s playing golf, walking, or bike riding, studies show that exercise of all kinds triggers feel-good endorphins, soothes stress, eases anxiety, and helps relieve depression. Partner up with friends and family and encourage one another to make your physical health a priority.
Share this link with the men in your lives as a great reminder about the role that moving more plays in your mental health:

Are you ready to join the joggers in your neighbourhood this season? Whether you’re hoping to tackle a 5K, or just looking for a new way to get fit, running is a great form of exercise!
Before you hit the streets, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor (especially if you have any medical conditions). When you are ready to get started, stop by the pharmacy to pick up everything you’ll need to prevent injuries and manage soreness.
Our pharmacist is here to answer questions you might have about anything from new insoles for your running shoes to over-the-counter muscle and joint creams.
Protecting your skin is important all year long, but summer in particular is when you need to stock up on sunscreen!
Did you know that SPF stands for sun protection factor? SPF relates to the amount of time it takes for your skin to burn without any protection. The Canadian Dermatology Association recommends using a product with an SPF of 30 or more daily to protect your skin.

Be prepared for your fun in the sun! Stop by the pharmacy to pick up sunscreen you the whole family today.
Lyme disease can be serious. The best way to prevent it is to not get bitten by a blacklegged tick.
When heading outdoors, help avoid a bite by:
• Tucking your pants into your socks
• Wearing closed-toed shoes
• Opting for light-coloured clothing
• Doing a full-body check on yourself, your kids, and pets when you head indoors
Stop by the pharmacy for advice on how to correctly remove a tick in case someone in your household gets bitten.

A red, itchy, sore ear could signal a common complaint during the summer months: swimmer’s ear.
Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the tube that runs from your eardrum to the outer part of your ear. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear, creating a moist environment where bacteria can grow.
This infection can usually be treated with prescription ear drops. Ask our pharmacist if you should see your doctor.
During the hot, hazy days of summer, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s hydration needs. If you’re spending a lot of time outside, or you and your children are playing sports, and sweating heavily, you could be at risk of dehydration.
The signs of dehydration can include:
• Thirst
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushed skin
If you or someone you are with is showing signs of dehydration, get some liquids in right away. An electrolyte-infused water will help to replenish your body with depleted nutrients. Certain medications can increase your risk of dehydration. Ask our pharmacist for more information.
This Migraine Awareness Month, join us in recognizing the nearly 12 percent of Canadians who suffer from migraines and other headache disorders.
Although symptoms and triggers of migraine vary for different people, understanding what migraine is and how you can support your loved ones living with this condition can help make a difference.
Read and share this helpful blog post about ways you can support your friends and family living with migraine: https://www.tevacanada.com/en/canada/life-effects/understand-about-migraine/
If you experience migraines, or care for someone who does, our pharmacy team is here to help. Ask our pharmacist if you have questions about your migraine medication or managing your migraines.
If tiny white bumps on your skin are making you feel shy about showing your arms in a tank top or sleeveless dress, you’re not alone.
Up to 40% of Canadians have keratosis pilaris (KP), an often-inherited form of mild eczema that happens when dead skin cells plug the site of a hair follicle. The condition is harmless, but the bumps on your upper arms (or thighs or cheeks) can be a nuisance.
If you are concerned about keratosis pilaris or other skin conditions, our pharmacist can give you advice on how you can take care of it at home and let you know if it’s time to call your doctor.
Summer is upon us and for some of you this means a hair removal product has been added to your shopping list.
If you are considering your options, hair removal creams (depilatories) can be a good way to dissolve hair on legs, underarms, bikini lines and more. When used properly, they are safe and effective—but they’re not for everyone. People with damaged skin or chronic skin conditions, like rosacea, psoriasis or even a sunburn, should not use these products.
If you have questions, stop by and speak with our pharmacist.
Hypertension is blood pressure that’s higher than normal. Your blood pressure will change throughout the day, but having consistently high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and put you at risk of complications like heart attack and stroke.
High blood pressure is common, but most people don’t even know they have it. If you’re concerned, stop by and speak with our pharmacist. They can take your blood pressure and let you know when it’s time to see your doctor.
Check out this information from Hypertension Canada on what you need to know about high blood pressure and your health:

Today is World No To***co Day – and we are here to help you reach your goal of being smoke-free!

March is Epilepsy Awareness Month. Epilepsy is sometimes called a seizure disorder. Seizures are sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This temporarily interferes with muscle control, speech, vision, movement, or awareness. A seizure can cause a person’s body to shake for a few seconds to a few minutes, and they may lose consciousness. Speak with our pharmacist if you have any questions about seizures or the medications you’ve been prescribed. #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth #Seizures
Almost everyone has used eye drops at some time. Whether your eyes are red, itchy, or just plain tired, eye drops can help give you some relief.

We can help answer any questions you might have about over-the-counter or prescription eye drops and how to use them safely.
It’s Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Regular colorectal cancer screening can boost the chances of finding and removing precancerous polyps before they become cancerous. If you notice any of the following early warning signs, be sure to inform your doctor as soon as possible: • Unexplained constipation or diarrhea. • Persistent stomach pain. • Unexplained weight loss. Learn more about colorectal cancer risks, diagnosis, treatment, and more: https://www.colorectalcancercanada.com
Acid reflux is a condition in which the contents of your stomach bubble up into your esophagus and throat. It’s very common, especially after eating spicy or acidic foods. If you are starting to experience acid reflux, speak to our pharmacist about over-the-counter products and other remedies that can soothe your symptoms.
If you catch a cold, that probably spells the sniffles, possibly a fever, body aches, and just generally being under the weather. You should feel better in one to two weeks. In the meantime, there are a number of nasal drops and sprays, mild pain relievers and cough and cold medications that might help with your symptoms. Ask our pharmacist about over-the-counter options that may be right for you. #ColdRemedies #ColdSeason #CoughandCold
An ear infection is an inflammation of the middle ear that happens when fluid builds up behind the eardrum. They’re common in children under five, because the tubes in their ears are very short. If you suspect your child may have an ear infection, speak with our pharmacist for advice on when to see a doctor and how to keep your little one comfortable while they recover.

It’s not uncommon to have hands that are dry, itchy, red, tight feeling and even cracked – especially during the winter months. Frequent hand washing combined with freezing temperatures outside can spell disaster for sensitive skin. Using a mild cleanser, gently patting your hands dry – and, most importantly – moisturizing, are all key steps you can take to get some relief. Our pharmacist can recommend soothing hand lotions, balms and creams that can help protect your skin.

Ask our pharmacist for advice on nicotine replacement therapy and other medications that can help you become smoke-free. #QuitSmoking #ButtOut

There’s a chill in the air, the days are getting shorter and clocks are falling back as daylight savings time ends in most parts of the country. This seemingly small shift in time can have a big impact on our minds and bodies following the change. Some studies show that the change can worsen mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. And, sleep experts say the transition affects your sleep, too. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/circadian-rhythm/daylight-saving-time #TimeChange #DaylightSavings
Vitamin D is a nutrient that is essential to many aspects of your health, from keeping your bones strong to supporting brain function. Often called the “sunshine vitamin”, our bodies produce some vitamin D when we’re in the sun, but we also get a lot of the vitamin from our food – for example, salmon, beef liver, fortified orange juice and dairy products are all good sources. Even if you eat foods that contain vitamin D daily, Health Canada recommends everyone between the ages of 2 and 50 years old take a daily supplement containing 400 IU to ensure you are getting enough of this important nutrient. Stop by and speak to our pharmacist if you have questions or are concerned you may not be getting enough vitamin D. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vitamin-d/#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20fat%2Dsoluble,control%20infections%20and%20reduce%20inflammation. #VitaminD #SunshineVitamin
Getting enough rest is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Most of us know this, but getting good quality rest most nights can prove challenging for many people. Common causes of insomnia can include worried thoughts that keep our minds racing, drinking too much caffeine, and even eating spicy foods before bedtime. Certain medications can also impact your sleep. Check out these 10 simple tips for better sleep from Sleep on It Canada: https://sleeponitcanada.ca/10-simple-tips-for-better-sleep/ If you have concerns that the medication you are taking could be impacting your sleep, stop by and talk to our pharmacist. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322928 https://sleeponitcanada.ca/10-simple-tips-for-better-sleep/ #Sleep #FallingAsleep
