Hi Everyone

I know that by now we are all familiar with the guidelines of proper hygiene to protect against COVID-19 and most of us have already added this to our daily routine. What i wanted to highlight today is how to support your immune system and BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY to fight against different viruses and bacteria.

Some SUPPLEMENTS and VITAMINS** have potential benefit, whether you’re already sick or trying to stay healthy. This is especially true of vitamins and minerals, which are essential in supporting a healthy immune system. While no pill or food can prevent COVID-19, certain supplements may help your ability to stay healthy or recover faster.

1- Vitamin D:

DID YOU KNOW THAT More than 80 % of hospitalized COVID-19 patients had vitamin D deficiency 😎
Vitamin D, commonly known for its role in bone health, also helps make proteins that kill viruses and bacteria, especially in the respiratory tract. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to health concerns including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.
Recommended daily dose: 1000 IU

2-Vitamin C

Did you know that Vitamin C supplementation is observed to reduce the length of ICU stay, shorten the ventilation time in critical COVID-19 patients.
Vitamin C is vital for the function of leukocytes – white blood cells that help fight infections – and you need a lot more when you’re sick.
Recommended daily dose: 500mg twice daily or 1000mg once daily

3-Zinc

Zinc is another nutrient that plays an important role in immune function, especially with regard to the production of white blood cells, which help to fight off infections. The worse your infection, the higher your white blood cell numbers go up. And so if your zinc levels are low or insufficient, you won't have sufficient white cells to fight your infection
Recommended daily dose: 11 mgs of zinc per day for men and 8 mgs for women

I Have listed the top 3 supplements but you can also consider Echinacea and propolis which are widely used for the treatment and prevention of upper respiratory tract infection in adults and children.

Please call the pharmacy if you have any questions 604-457-1030

**Again, always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you choose the right product and dose as well as help you avoid any potential medication side effects
hope this was helpful

stay safe :)

Hi Everyone :)

As we all know Mosquitoes are getting aggressive this year Katzie Pharmacy has took the initiative and compounded an OTC After Bite cream that actually works :) The Magic Mosquito Cream :) its a mixture of 5 ingredients and its safe for adults and children 2 years of age plus (exceptions applies)
Please call the Pharmacy for More info :)

I will leave you with some tips on how to deal with Mosquito bites
As we all know mosquitoes are common from May to September. Mosquitoes can bite at any time of the day, but they tend to be more active between dusk and dawn. If you can, limit your outdoor activities as much as possible during this time.

1-The typical signs and symptoms of mosquito and black fly bites include itching and the appearance of a soft bump on the skin. Immediately following a bite, this bump will be pale in color but will slowly turn to pink or red as time progresses.
People who are more sensitive to insect bites will have a much larger area of itching and discoloration.

2- If you think you have been bitten by a mosquito or black fly, immediately wash the area with soap and water. This important first step may go a long way in helping to minimize the reaction. Furthermore, an ice pack or cool facecloth can then be used to decrease any swelling.

3- Here come the role of The Magic Mosquito Cream , apply the cream to the bite two to three times daily when needed
When using this product, avoid contact with the nose, mouth and eyes and wash the hands before and after application

4-Although the signs and symptoms of insect bites will typically go away in a few days, complications are possible especially if you scratch your bites. There is potential for bug bites to become infected. Common signs of an infected bug bite include pain that worsens, progressive swelling and redness, and the development of pus in the affected area

5- Even though it is quite rare, there is also the possibility to develop a severe allergic reaction to these types of bites. The symptoms could range from hives to difficulty breathing. Be sure to seek medical attention immediately for any of these complications.

You can also take the following steps to protect yourself in the first place:

1- Use a fly swatter to kill mosquitoes in the home.
Use an approved insect repellent For an insect repellent to be effective, you must apply it properly. Be sure to read the label carefully and apply as recommended from the manufacturer. Insect repellents should be applied sparingly, only on skin that is exposed or on top of clothing. Contrary to popular belief, applying a heavy coat will not provide any extra protection.

2- Wear loose clothes made of tightly woven materials that keep mosquitoes away from your skin, such as nylon or polyester.
3- Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure. Also use netting to protect infants when outdoors.
4- Wear long pants and sleeves as well as shoes and socks. You should do this if you're going to be outside when mosquitoes are most active.
5- Fix or replace old and torn screens in doors, windows and vents. Inspect all other possible access points into your home and fix as needed
Hope this was helpful :)
