Managing Parkinson’s disease often means juggling multiple medications at different times of the day. Missing doses or taking them incorrectly can lead to “wearing off” periods, where symptoms return, or unwanted side effects. That’s why it’s important to have a clear system in place to keep track of your medications.

Here are some practical tips:

- Ask questions: When you receive a new prescription, clarify with your doctor or pharmacist how it works, when to take it, and what side effects to watch for.

- Make a list: Keep a written or digital record of all your medications, doses, and times.

- Use a pill organizer: Weekly or monthly pill dispensers can simplify complex schedules.

- Set reminders: Phone alarms or apps can help ensure you never miss a dose.

- Consider auto-refills: Many pharmacies, including Calgary Drug Mart, can arrange automatic refills so you’re never caught without your medication.

At Calgary Drug Mart, our trained pharmacists are here to help you manage your Parkinson’s treatment with confidence. We can review your medication plan, suggest tools to simplify your routine, and provide personalized advice.

Contraceptive pills, often called “the pill,” are one of the most widely used methods of birth control. They work primarily by preventing ovulation, which means your ovaries don’t release an egg each month. Without ovulation, pregnancy cannot occur. The hormones in the pill—usually estrogen and progestin—also make changes in your body to further reduce the chance of pregnancy.

In addition to stopping ovulation, contraceptive pills thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for s***m to reach an egg. They also thin the lining of the uterus, which reduces the likelihood of implantation if an egg were fertilized. When taken consistently and correctly, the pill is highly effective, giving individuals control over family planning and reproductive health.

Beyond birth control, contraceptive pills can offer other health benefits. They may help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce painful cramps, and even improve acne.

Cheese isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients that support your overall health. As a great source of protein, cheese helps build and repair muscles, making it an excellent addition to meals and snacks. It also provides calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, and plays a role in maintaining healthy nerve and muscle function.

Beyond calcium and protein, cheese is rich in vitamin B12, which supports energy production and brain health, and phosphorus, which works alongside calcium to strengthen bones. It also contains selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage. Together, these nutrients make cheese a versatile food that contributes to a balanced diet.

Migraines can be debilitating, affecting daily life with intense pain, sensitivity to light or sound, and even nausea. At Calgary Drug Mart, we believe knowledge is power—understanding the different types of migraines can help you manage symptoms and seek the right treatment.

Migraine with aura: Includes visual disturbances like flashing lights or zigzag patterns before the headache begins.

Chronic migraine: Occurs 15 or more days per month, often requiring specialized treatment.

Retinal migraine: Causes temporary vision loss or disturbances in one eye.

Hemiplegic migraine: Rare but serious, involving temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the body.

We’ve all felt it—a sudden, sharp pain when a muscle tightens unexpectedly. These are muscle cramps, and they occur when your muscle contracts involuntarily and doesn’t relax. Cramps are most common in the legs, especially the calves, but they can happen anywhere in the body. While usually harmless, they can be painful and disruptive, especially at night or during physical activity.

Cramps often occur due to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances (like low potassium, calcium, or magnesium), overuse of muscles, or poor circulation. They can also be triggered by certain medications or underlying health conditions. Athletes, older adults, and people who spend long hours standing are more likely to experience them. Understanding the cause is the first step toward prevention.

To reduce cramps, make sure you stay hydrated, stretch regularly, and maintain a balanced diet rich in essential minerals. If cramps are frequent or severe, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

Flu season is here, but there are easy steps you can take to lower your risk of getting sick. The most effective protection is your annual flu shot, which helps your immune system recognize and fight the latest strains. Vaccination not only protects you but also reduces the spread of the flu to family, coworkers, and vulnerable community members.

Beyond vaccination, everyday habits make a big difference. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after being in public spaces. Avoid touching your face, as germs can enter through your eyes, nose, and mouth. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and get enough sleep to keep your immune system strong. If you’re feeling unwell, stay home to prevent spreading illness to others.

At Calgary Drug Mart, we’re here to help you stay healthy this season. From flu shots to immune-boosting supplements, our pharmacists can guide you toward safe and effective prevention strategies. Call us at 403-984-9334 or visit calgarydrugmart.com to book your flu shot or learn more about flu prevention.

Managing multiple prescriptions, over-the-counter remedies, and supplements can be confusing—and small mistakes can lead to missed doses, side effects, or unwanted interactions. At Calgary Drug Mart, our pharmacist-led medication review is a focused, confidential consultation that looks at every medicine you take. During the review we verify doses, check for drug interactions, assess side effects, and confirm that each medication still fits your current health goals.

A medication review is especially valuable for people with chronic conditions, seniors, caregivers, or anyone taking several medicines at once. Our pharmacists can simplify complex schedules, suggest adherence tools (like blister packs or reminders), and flag opportunities to reduce duplicate therapies or unnecessary medications. The result is improved safety, fewer adverse reactions, and often better health outcomes—plus clearer instructions so you feel confident about your treatment plan.

Here’s how it works at Calgary Drug Mart: bring a list of your prescriptions, OTC products, and supplements, or ask us to pull your refill history. We’ll review your regimen, discuss any concerns you have—such as side effects, cost, or difficulty swallowing—and provide a written summary with recommended next steps. If needed, we’ll coordinate with your prescriber to propose changes or clarifications. To arrange a review, call 403-984-9334 or visit https://calgarydrugmart.com/—our team will help you choose a convenient time and explain what to bring.

As temperatures drop and indoor gatherings increase, flu season is officially on the horizon. Getting your annual flu shot is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself, your family, and your community from serious illness. The flu virus changes every year, which is why a yearly vaccine is essential—even if you’re young and healthy. It helps your immune system recognize and fight the most current strains.

Flu shots are especially important for seniors, children, pregnant individuals, and those with chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes. But even if you're not in a high-risk group, getting vaccinated helps reduce the spread of the virus to those who are. It also lowers your chances of hospitalization and missed work or school due to illness. With COVID-19 still circulating, protecting yourself from the flu can also help reduce strain on our healthcare system.

At Calgary Drug Mart, we make it easy to get protected. Our trained pharmacists offer fast, safe flu vaccinations with no appointment needed for most walk-ins. Call us at 403-984-9334 or visit calgarydrugmart.com to learn more or book your flu shot today. Let’s keep Calgary healthy—together.
