Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. For many people, especially those with type 1 diabetes and some with type 2, insulin therapy is essential. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it’s used for energy. Without enough insulin, blood sugar rises, leading to serious health complications.

Insulin therapy works by replacing or supplementing the body’s natural insulin. It can be delivered through injections or insulin pumps, and doses are carefully tailored to each person’s lifestyle, diet, and blood sugar patterns. By keeping glucose levels within a healthy range, insulin therapy helps prevent long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems, while supporting overall energy and wellbeing.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we believe that protecting yourself against the flu starts with knowing your options. Flu vaccines aren’t one-size-fits-all—there are several types available, each tailored to different age groups, health conditions, and immune responses. Here’s a quick breakdown:

- Trivalent vaccines: Protect against 3 flu strains (two A strains and one B strain).

- Quadrivalent vaccines: Protect against 4 flu strains (two A strains and two B strains).

- High-dose vaccines: Specially formulated for adults 65+, containing more antigen to boost immune response.

- Adjuvanted vaccines: Include an added ingredient (adjuvant) to improve immune response, often used in seniors.

- Recombinant vaccines: Made without using flu virus or eggs, suitable for those with egg allergies.

- Cell-based vaccines: Produced using cultured cells instead of eggs, offering a modern alternative.

- Live attenuated nasal spray vaccines: A needle-free option, typically recommended for healthy children and young adults.

Choosing the right flu vaccine depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Our pharmacists can help you decide which option is best for you and your family.

The common cold is a viral infection that affects the upper respiratory tract, and while it’s usually mild, knowing its life cycle can help you manage symptoms and prevent spreading it to others. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you stay informed and prepared during cold season.

The cold typically unfolds in four stages:

Stage 1: Incubation (Days 1–3) – The virus enters your body, but symptoms haven’t appeared yet. You may already be contagious.

Stage 2: Early Symptoms (Days 2–4) – You’ll start feeling a scratchy throat, mild fatigue, and sneezing.

Stage 3: Peak Symptoms (Days 4–7) – This is when symptoms are strongest: congestion, coughing, sore throat, and low-grade fever.

Stage 4: Recovery (Days 7–10) – Symptoms begin to fade, though a lingering cough or fatigue may persist. Most people recover fully without complications.

While there’s no cure for the common cold, rest, hydration, and symptom relief are key. Our pharmacists can recommend over-the-counter remedies and wellness tips to help you feel better faster.

Iron is essential for energy, immune function, and oxygen transport—but getting enough from plant sources can be tricky. Unlike animal-based iron (heme iron), the iron found in plants (non-heme iron) is less readily absorbed by the body. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you make smart dietary choices that maximize your nutrient intake.

To enhance iron absorption from foods like lentils, spinach, tofu, and quinoa, pair them with vitamin C-rich ingredients such as bell peppers, citrus fruits, strawberries, or tomatoes. Vitamin C helps convert non-heme iron into a form your body can absorb more easily. Also, avoid drinking tea, coffee, or calcium-rich beverages during meals, as these can inhibit iron uptake.

Ibuprofen is one of the most widely used over-the-counter medications for pain relief and inflammation. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which work by blocking the production of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Available in tablets, capsules, and liquid forms, ibuprofen is suitable for both adults and children over 6 months old.

It’s commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, toothaches, back pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, arthritis, and minor injuries. Ibuprofen is also effective in reducing fever and easing symptoms of the common cold or flu. While generally safe when used as directed, it’s important to follow dosage guidelines and avoid long-term use without medical supervision, as it can cause side effects like stomach upset, heartburn, or increased risk of kidney issues.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you choose the right pain relief option for your needs. Our pharmacists can guide you on safe usage, potential interactions, and alternatives if ibuprofen isn’t suitable for you.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the brain’s pineal gland. It plays a key role in regulating your circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle. As daylight fades, melatonin levels rise, signaling to your body that it’s time to wind down. Melatonin supplements mimic this effect and are commonly used to help with insomnia, jet lag, and delayed sleep phase disorder. They’re especially helpful for shift workers or anyone adjusting to a new sleep schedule.

So, are melatonin supplements safe? For most adults, short-term use is considered safe and non-addictive. However, side effects can occur, including headache, dizziness, nausea, daytime drowsiness, and vivid dreams or nightmares. Less common effects include mood changes, stomach cramps, and reduced alertness. Melatonin may also interact with medications for blood pressure, diabetes, seizures, and birth control.

That’s why it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting melatonin—especially if you’re taking other medications or have underlying health conditions.

Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a common condition that affects the bladder’s ability to store urine properly. It’s characterized by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate—even when the bladder isn’t full. This urgency can lead to frequent bathroom trips, disrupted sleep, and in some cases, urinary incontinence. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we believe that understanding the symptoms is the first step toward effective management.

Common symptoms of OAB include:

- Urgency: A strong, sudden need to urinate that’s difficult to control

- Frequency: Needing to urinate more than eight times in 24 hours

- Nocturia: Waking up more than once during the night to urinate

- Urge incontinence: Involuntary leakage of urine following a strong urge

OAB can affect people of all ages and often impacts quality of life. The good news is that it’s manageable with lifestyle changes, bladder training, and medications.

Yes—ni****ne can increase your risk of headaches. Whether through smoking, va**ng, chewing to***co, or ni****ne replacement therapies, this stimulant affects your central nervous system and blood vessels in ways that may trigger headache pain. Ni****ne acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and lead to tension-type or even cluster headaches.

Additionally, ni****ne may heighten your brain’s sensitivity to pain signals and interfere with the effectiveness of headache medications. Withdrawal from ni****ne can also cause headaches, especially in the first few days of quitting, as your body adjusts to changes in blood flow and neurotransmitter levels. If you’re experiencing frequent headaches and use ni****ne products, it may be worth discussing alternatives or support options with a healthcare professional.

Anxiety can trigger a cascade of physical symptoms—and one of the most unsettling is shortness of breath. When you're anxious, your body enters “fight or flight” mode, causing rapid, shallow breathing that can make you feel like you're not getting enough air. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we want to help you understand how to manage this response and regain control of your breath.

To prevent breathlessness during anxious moments, try diaphragmatic breathing—also known as belly breathing. Sit or lie down comfortably, place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your belly to rise while keeping your chest still. Exhale gently through your mouth. Repeat this for a few minutes to calm your nervous system and restore steady breathing. Pairing this with mindful grounding techniques, like focusing on your surroundings or counting backward from 100, can further reduce anxiety.

Queen Peoples Pharmacy offers wellness support and products that can help you manage anxiety naturally and effectively.
