⚠️ WEATHER ALERT: Extreme Cold in Winnipeg! ⚠️

With wind chills hitting dangerous levels over this weekend, Fair Havens Pharmacy wants to ensure all our neighbors stay safe. In these temperatures, frostbite can occur on exposed skin in as little as 2 to 5 minutes.

❄️ Know the Signs of Frostbite:
1. Frostnip (Early Stage): Skin looks red and feels very cold.
2. Superficial Frostbite: Skin turns white or pale and may feel «waxy.» You might feel a tingling or stinging sensation.
3. Deep Frostbite: Skin feels numb and hard. This is a medical emergency.

🛡️ Prevention & Care:
• Cover Up: Ensure no skin is exposed. Ears, nose, fingers, and toes are most at risk.
• Don’t Rub: If you suspect frostbite, do not rub the area. This can cause tissue damage.
• Warm up slowly: Use lukewarm water (not hot!) or body heat to rewarm.
• Stay Hydrated: Cold weather puts extra stress on your heart.

Stay inside if you can! If you need a prescription or have a health question, please call us instead of venturing out. We are here to support you safely from the warmth of your home.

At Fair Havens Pharmacy, your safety is our top priority. On days like today, we strongly encourage our clients - especially seniors and those with chronic conditions - to stay indoors.

We are here for you:
📞 Phone Consultations: Have a question about your medication or a winter ailment? Give us a call. Our pharmacist is ready to chat so you don’t have to braving the wind chill.
🚚 Medication Delivery: Ask us about our delivery options! We’ll do our best to get your essentials to you so you can stay warm and safe. (Note: Please be patient as weather may cause slight delivery delays).

Feeling more tired than usual this week, Winnipeg? ❄️ You’re not alone. With shorter days and freezing temps, many of us experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - a type of depression that relates to changes in seasons.

🔬 The Medical Bit:
Reduced sunlight can disrupt your body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) and lead to a drop in serotonin (the «feel-good» hormone) and a change in melatonin levels, which affects sleep and mood.

🛡️ Prevention & Care:
• Catch the Light: Try to get outside during peak daylight hours (even if it’s cold!) or talk to us about Light Therapy lamps.
• Keep Moving: Physical activity is a natural mood booster.
• Vitamin D: Often called the «Sunshine Vitamin,» it plays a huge role in mood regulation.

💊 Treatment:
If the «winter blues» are affecting your daily life, don’t wait. Treatment can include specialized light boxes, Vitamin D therapy, or prescribed medications. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin; it’s a pro-hormone that affects almost every cell in your body.

⚠️ Why it matters:
Low levels are linked to weakened immunity, bone loss, and low mood. In a Manitoba winter, almost everyone is at risk of deficiency.

🛠️ Prevention & Care:
• Diet: Fatty fish and fortified dairy help, but usually aren’t enough on their own.
• Supplementation: This is the most effective way to keep your levels up.

🩺 Treatment & Dosage:
Not everyone needs the same amount! Factors like age, skin tone, and existing health conditions change your requirements. Taking too much can be harmful, while taking too little might not help.

Need a recommendation? Our pharmacist at Fair Havens is expert in supplement safety. Let’s find the perfect dose for you to keep your bones strong and your spirit bright until spring! 🌷

Stop by Fair Havens Pharmacy this weekend. We can help you find the right Vitamin D dosage or chat about ways to support your mental wellness through the rest of the season. 💙

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. 💜 At Fair Havens Pharmacy in Winnipeg, we want to help our community understand that while an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is life-changing, there are ways to manage the journey with dignity and care.

🧠 Prevention & Brain Health:
While there is no surefire way to prevent Alzheimer’s, research suggests that brain-healthy habits can reduce risk:
• Stay Active: Regular physical exercise boosts blood flow to the brain.
• Eat Well: A Mediterranean-style diet is linked to better brain health.
• Challenge Your Mind: Keep learning! Puzzles, reading, and social interaction are key.

💊 Treatment & Medication Management:
Current treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Our pharmacist can help by:
• Reviewing medications to ensure they are being taken correctly.
• Discussing new treatments and managing side effects.
• Organizing medications in blister packs to prevent missed doses.

🤝 Care & Support:
Caregivers are the unsung heroes. We are here to support families with resources, advice on home safety, and a listening ear.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Visit us at Fair Havens Pharmacy to talk about brain health and dementia care.

December, 1st is World AIDS Day🎗️
At Fair Havens Pharmacy in Winnipeg, we stand in solidarity with those living with HIV and reaffirm our commitment to ending the epidemic. This day is about remembering, reflecting, and renewing our efforts towards prevention, compassionate care, and vital support.

Prevention is Power:
• Know Your Status: Regular testing is key to early detection and treatment.
• Safe Practices: Consistent and correct use of condoms, and understanding options like PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), are crucial prevention tools.
• Education: Breaking down misinformation helps reduce transmission and stigma.

Lifestyle & Living Well:
With advancements in medicine, HIV is a manageable chronic condition. A healthy lifestyle – including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management – plays a crucial role in overall well-being for those living with HIV. Adherence to medication regimens (ART) allows people to live full, healthy lives and prevents transmission.

Your Pharmacy for Support:
Fair Havens Pharmacy is a safe and confidential space for you. Our pharmacist is here to:
• 💊 Provide Medication Management: Expert advice on HIV medications (ART), PrEP, and related health needs.
• 💬 Offer Confidential Consultations: Discuss testing, prevention strategies, and treatment adherence.
