During crisis situations, it is important that we lean on each other for support as we are stronger as a collective than as a single individual. We can practice physical distancing without losing human connections. Here are some ideas to stay connected:

1. Play an online game

2. Host an online movie night

3. Catch up on a call

4. Hold a virtual social event

We are all in this together!

The weekend is coming! What a great time to catch up on some much needed sleep.

When it comes to our health, along with eating healthy and getting plenty of exercise, one of the things that we are told is to get plenty of sleep. For many of us, getting a full eight hours of sleep, is more of a pipe dream than anything. Our lives are getting busy and more interconnected than ever, making it harder for us to disconnect and get the sleep we need. This decrease in sleep can lead to an increase in cardiovascular disease.

Find out here how getting enough sleep can affect your blood pressure and heart health:

Your skin is as unique as you are. A "one size fits all" approach doesn't always work when it comes to our skin problems.

What happens when you're allergic to non-active ingredients in commercially made products such as lanolin, parabens, preservatives, etc?

What if your doctor wants to customize your prescription for a cream or ointment that isn't commercially available?

In these scenarios, compounding is the solution! As one of the first compounding pharmacies in Vancouver, our staff have the knowledge, expertise, and the most up-to-date technology to create the highest quality compounds to suit your needs.

We look forward all winter long to the sunny summer days only to find ourselves sweltering and gasping for shade when the blazing heat hits. Working too hard or not staying cool enough can lead you to tire more easily, sweat profusely, and sometimes can even lead to dangerous medical complications. Summer can be such a wonderful season; we’ve got some great tips on how you can beat the summer heat and make the most of these bright, beautiful days.

Do you have blemishes or scars that have been bothering you forever? Or maybe a new cut/scrape that you don't want to develop into a scar?

PracaSil-Plus is the first compounding base created for
patients who want to improve the appearance of scars. Due to the base’s proprietary blend of ingredients, including silicones (in a semipermeable polymer network) and pracaxi oil (which is rich in skin-friendly fatty acids and lipids), it’s been helping make a huge difference for patients with scars, including keloid and acne scars.

Sold exclusively at Macdonald's Prescriptions #3. Give us a call today or drop by the store to find out more!

Keeping up to date with current events is certainly important.. but too much of anything can be a bad thing.
