Spending more time outside in the warmer weather?

Protect yourself over the warmer months by creating a bites and stings toolkit.
At Capital Chemist Dapto we have a range of products on hand to help prevent and treat bites and stings:

● Tropical-strength water resistant insect repellent can help to protect you from being bitten at all
● Antihistamines to reduce the itching
● Hydrocortisone cream to reduce redness and inflammation
● Anaesthetic creams to numb areas to relieve pain
● Ice packs to relieve pain and swelling
It’s important to always have a fully-stocked first aid kit, including bandages and creams. Be sure to have this in your home and to take it with you on your travels, especially if you are camping, bush-walking or going to the beach.
Remember to tell your pharmacist about any health conditions that you have or any medications that you are taking, as some over-the-counter medicines may not be right for you. Ask your friendly Capital Chemist Dapto pharmacist today.

Playing sports this Spring?

Kids, umpires, coaches and families on the sideline, remember to play safe in the sun! Reduce your risk, and set a good example for the next generation by remembering the basics:

Cover-up - Clothing including a shirt, makes a great first line of defence
Wear a hat - Broad brimmed to cover ears, face and neck
Seek shade - Toddlers and babies should always be in the shade, even when they have a hat, clothes and sunscreen to protect their more delicate skin
Sunglasses - Not just a fashion accessory, but a vital part of sun protection especially if you are outside often
SPF 50+ Sunscreen - For all the bits you can’t physically cover be match-ready every day by following these tips every time you step out.

Are you getting enough Vitamin D?

For most healthy Australians, a few minutes of early-morning or late-afternoon sun during summer (or midday sun in winter) provides enough Vitamin D.
If you’re heading out for more than a few minutes, Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide with confidence that enough Vitamin D will get through.

Pollen making your eyes itch?

Hay fever’s sneezes, runny noses and itchy watery eyes peak from late August to October. If you know you have regular allergies come springtime, now is the time to start using your preventative nasal spray. New over the counter medications are now available to help combat the symptoms of hay fever.

Have you heard of the Closing the Gap scheme?

Eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with chronic disease have access to low cost or free PBS medicines. They can access these through the Closing the Gap (CTG) scheme. Capital Chemist Dapto pharmacy is part of this scheme.
Certain criteria apply. If you believe you may qualify for cheaper medicines through the CTG scheme start with your doctor and/or your indigenous health service.

Once a patient is registered with the scheme, the prescriber writes a special code on the prescription that makes PBS medicines cheaper.
Talk to your friendly Capital Chemist Dapto pharmacist today to learn more.

As the weather warms up we are spending more time outside. Here are 5 places most people miss when applying sunscreen.

1. Skin around your eyes – we often remember to do our cheeks but do we remember to do our eyelids as well? Wearing a broad brim hat and sunglasses will also help to protect your eyes.
2. Your Lips – Many lip balms now come with SPF+ so choose one to protect your lips
3. Top of your hands -Do you regularly use a hand cream? Swap it for one that contains a 30+ SPF sunscreen to keep your hands protected.
4. Top of your ears -it can be easy to forget but the tops of our ears will always be exposed to the sun’s rays when we are outside unless we are wearing a broad brim hat.
5. Your neck - the chest area is especially vulnerable to the sun and susceptible to damage and premature ageing. Make sure to apply sunscreen to the face, eye area, and ears, be sure to apply extra on your neck (including the back!) and any parts of your chest that will be exposed to the sun during the day.

At Capital Chemist Dapto we provide a wide range of sun protection products. Looking for the right product for you? Ask your friendly local pharmacist today.
