Psyllium Husk: A "Cheap Ozempic"? 🤔 Not so fast! While psyllium husk offers some weight management benefits, it's NOT a true Ozempic replacement. Let's break down the facts:

➡️ **Psyllium Husk:** A soluble fiber that promotes fullness and regularity. Think of it as a natural "bulking agent" in your digestive system. Great for supporting a healthy lifestyle!

➡️ **Ozempic:** A prescription medication that acts on hormones to regulate appetite and blood sugar. More effective for significant weight loss, but comes with potential side effects and requires a doctor's prescription.

**Key Differences:** They work *completely differently*. Psyllium husk physically fills you up, while Ozempic targets your hormones. One is an over-the-counter supplement, the other a prescription medication.

**So, which is right for you?** Your local pharmacist can help!

✅ We offer a variety of psyllium husk products and can advise on proper usage.
✅ Our pharmacists provide personalized weight management counseling.
✅ Need to talk to a doctor about prescription weight loss options? We can help with referrals!

Worried about Strep A? We've got you covered.

Invasive Strep A infections have been making headlines, and we want to keep our Amsterdam NY community informed and healthy. While serious infections are still uncommon, it's important to know the facts.

**Key takeaways about Strep A:**

* **More than a sore throat:** Invasive Strep A can spread to other parts of the body, leading to severe illness.
* **Know the signs:** Beyond a sore throat, look out for redness/swelling around wounds, high fever/chills, dizziness, and low blood pressure.
* **Be proactive:** Good hygiene and prompt wound care are essential for prevention.

**At risk?** Those with recent viral infections (like the flu!), chronic illnesses, skin injuries, or weakened immune systems should be especially vigilant.

**Stop Strep in its Tracks!**

* **Stock up on essentials:** We have over-the-counter pain relievers, fever reducers, and wound care supplies to help you manage symptoms and prevent infections.
* **Ask your Pharmacist:** We're here to answer your questions and provide guidance on strep A prevention and treatment.

**Stay healthy, Amsterdam NY!**

Is your nose already running faster than you are? Spring allergies are hitting hard and fast this year. Don't let them sideline you! Riverfront Pharmacist can help you breathe easy and enjoy the warmer weather.

* **Know your enemy:** Check local pollen counts and limit outdoor time on high pollen days.
* **Shut it out:** Keep windows closed and shower after being outside.
* **Ask the expert:** Our pharmacist can recommend the best OTC allergy relief for YOU.

❌ Mythbusting Microplastics & Dementia ❌

Worried about microplastics in your water and dementia? We've got the facts! There's currently *no* credible scientific link between microplastics in bottled water and dementia. Let's clear up the confusion!

Here's what you need to know:

* Microplastics are common, but research on human health impacts is still in its early stages.
* No reputable studies connect microplastics and dementia. Dementia is complex, with factors like genetics and lifestyle playing a bigger role.
* A healthy lifestyle is key for brain health. Think balanced diet, exercise, and mental stimulation!

While the dementia link is a myth, protecting your health is ALWAYS important! 💪 Stop by Riverfront Pharmacy for your annual flu shot to protect yourself from a *real* threat this season. We're here to answer your health questions and help you stay well.

Bird Flu: What You Need to Know & How to Protect Yourself

Concerned about bird flu? We're here to provide clarity and help keep you and your family healthy. While the risk to humans is currently low, it's always best to be informed and prepared.

Here's the key info:

* Bird flu spreads primarily through close contact with infected birds. Person-to-person transmission is rare.
* Practice good hygiene (especially when handling poultry or eggs), cook food thoroughly, and avoid contact with sick/dead birds.

Don't confuse bird flu with the seasonal flu! While the seasonal flu vaccine *doesn't* protect against bird flu, it's crucial for protecting yourself from other flu strains circulating this season. Protect yourself and your community – schedule your flu shot today!

Suffering from frequent heartburn? 🔥 PPIs like Prilosec, Nexium, and Prevacid can offer relief, but long-term use can come with potential risks.

While effective for short-term heartburn and acid reflux, extended PPI use has been linked to potential issues like:

*️⃣ Weakened bones (increased risk of fractures)
*️⃣ Magnesium & Vitamin B12 deficiencies
*️⃣ Increased risk of infections (C. diff, pneumonia)
*️⃣ Kidney problems

Managing Heartburn Safely:

*️⃣ Talk to your pharmacist or doctor: We can help you explore the cause of your heartburn and find the best treatment option for YOU.
*️⃣ Lifestyle changes: Adjusting your diet and eating habits can often make a big difference!
*️⃣ Alternative medications: H2 blockers or antacids might be a better fit for your needs.
*️⃣ NEVER stop PPIs abruptly: This can worsen your symptoms. Consult your doctor first.

Your local pharmacist is here to help! We can answer your questions about PPI side effects and help you find the best strategy to manage your heartburn without the long-term risks. Stop by Riverfront Pharmacy or give us a call at 518-843-0500 to learn more.

Seeing Spots? GLP-1 Meds & Your Vision

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are effective for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, but recent news about potential vision side effects has raised concerns. Let's clear things up!

Here's the lowdown:

* **What they are:** Injectable medications that help regulate blood sugar and appetite.
* **Vision changes:** Rare cases of retinal detachment and blurred vision have been reported, but a direct link isn't confirmed. These medications *may* worsen pre-existing eye problems.
* **The good news:** The FDA is monitoring this closely, and the observed risk appears low.

What you should do:

* **Tell your eye doctor** you're taking a GLP-1 medication.
* **Report ANY vision changes** (blurred vision, flashes of light, floaters) to your doctor immediately.
* **DON'T stop your medication** without talking to your doctor first.

Have questions about GLP-1s, side effects, or other diabetes/weight management options? Riverfront Pharmacy is here to help! We can provide personalized advice and connect you with resources. Stop by or give us a call!
