You know when a label says “all-natural” and it instantly feels like it must be safe? We get it, but that’s not always the case.

Natural products can still cause side effects or interact with medicines. St John’s Wort can reduce how some prescriptions work, Valerian can make you drowsy, and even Echinacea can trigger allergies for some people.

Natural can be great when used properly. If you’re unsure, come see us and we’ll help you choose safely.

Feeling dehydrated or run down? Hydralyte and electrolyte powders can help restore your levels fast.

Ask our pharmacists about the best option to support your hydration.

🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ What an incredible day at Direct Chemist Outlet Curlewis!

Our Little Pharmacist Experience was a huge success, with so many kids stepping into the shoes of a pharmacist and learning about health, community care, and what happens behind the counter.

From curious questions to big smiles, it was amazing to see how engaged and excited the kids were throughout the day.

A big thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make it such a fun and memorable school holiday experience. We loved having you in store.

❄️ Winter can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, and tight. Here’s how to help:

✔ Use a rich, fragrance-free moisturiser daily
✔ Try QV Cream or Cetaphil Moisturising Cream for everyday dryness
✔ For very dry or eczema-prone skin, use E45 or Aveeno Dermexa
✔ Apply moisturiser straight after showering to lock in hydration
✔ Avoid long, hot showers which can strip your skin’s natural oils

Ask your pharmacist in-store for tailored dry skin care advice.

💊 Think all pain relief works the same way? Not quite. Here’s the difference:

✔ Paracetamol, like Panadol, reduces pain and fever and is gentle on the stomach
✔ Ibuprofen, like Nurofen, targets inflammation and muscle pain
✔ Maxigesic combines both for stronger, broader relief
✔ Always check with your pharmacist before combining or switching pain relief
✔ Choose what suits your pain type and your body best

You know that burning feeling after a big meal or a cheeky midnight snack? That’s heartburn.

If it happens now and then, Quick-Eze Chewable Tablets or Gaviscon Dual Action Liquid can bring fast relief. But if it’s happening most days, Nexium 24HR can help control acid long-term.

Try smaller meals, skip lying down after eating, and ease off the spicy or fatty foods if you can. And if it’s not settling, come have a chat with your pharmacist.

Parents often ask which is better for their kids, Panadol or Nurofen. Panadol is gentle and usually the first choice for babies and toddlers, helping with fever and general pain. Nurofen also reduces inflammation, making it useful for swelling as well as pain and fever, but it is not always suitable for children under 6 months. If you are unsure, check with us before giving medicine to your little ones. 👶
