The silly season can bring on worsening of reflux symptoms.
Reflux or heartburn is characterised by burning chest pain after meals, sour taste in the mouth, burping or indigestion. It is caused by the acid in our stomach coming back up into our food pipe.
Eating bigger meals, spicy food, consuming too much alcohol and smoking can be triggers to worsening reflux.
Our pharmacists are now able to conduct a physical examination to diagnose and write a prescription for you to treat your reflux. Book in for a consultation if you have symptoms.

In summer we often see more cases of gastroenteritis (gastro). Reduce the spread of gastroenteritis by:
-practicing hand sanitising at social functions
- putting food away in the fridge (leaving food out in warmer temperatures spoils food faster)
-avoid drinking water from lakes, dams or pools that is untreated
- Stay hydrated when outdoors. Often water is not enough. As we sweat we lose salts and sugars which need to be balanced to keep us hydrated. (Use electrolyte replacement sachets available in the pharmacy)

If you have nausea or vomitting our pharmacists are able to have a consultation with you and write a prescription for you to manage your symptoms.
