Did you know pharmacists can help you manage seasonal joint stiffness without medication?
Cold weather can make joints feel achy and stiff, but relief doesn’t always require a pill. Your pharmacist can recommend joint braces or supports to stabilize movement, reduce strain, and ease discomfort. They can also suggest gentle stretches, topical creams, heat therapy, and lifestyle tips to keep you moving comfortably all winter long. Stop by and ask how we can help you feel your best this season!

Traveling for the Holidays? Don’t Forget Your Meds!
Between packing gifts and planning getaways, it’s easy to overlook your medications. Whether you take daily prescriptions or just want to be prepared for unexpected illness, a travel medication checklist can help you stay healthy and stress-free on the go.
Quick Checklist:
 Daily prescriptions in original labeled containers
 Over-the-counter essentials: pain relievers, allergy meds, antacids, cold/flu relief

 First aid basics: bandages, antiseptic wipes, hydrocortisone cream
 Doctor’s note for controlled substances or injectables
 Copy of prescriptions in case of loss or customs questions
 Travel-size pill organizer for convenience
 Check TSA rules for liquids and medical devices
o Keep medications in your carry-on, not checked luggage, and bring a few extra days’ supply in case of delays.

World Diabetes Day: Manage Diabetes During Thanksgiving
More than 37 million people in the U.S. are living with diabetes — and many don’t even know it. This chronic condition causes blood sugar levels to rise when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, or numbness. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get your blood sugar tested.
On World Diabetes Day, we’re raising awareness and encouraging healthy habits — especially as we head into the holiday season. Thanksgiving can be a challenge for those managing diabetes, but with a little planning, you can enjoy the celebration without compromising your health. Focus on portion control, choose fiber-rich foods, stay active, and monitor your blood sugar regularly. And if you have questions about medications, meal planning, or glucose monitoring, our pharmacists are here to help you navigate the season with confidence.

World Pneumonia Day: Safe Use of Humidifiers & Vaporizers
Pneumonia is a serious lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and it can lead to symptoms like cough, fever, chills, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. On World Pneumonia Day, we’re highlighting ways to protect your lungs — starting with prevention. Pneumonia vaccines are available and can help reduce your risk, especially for older adults and those with chronic conditions. Ask our pharmacists if you qualify.
If you’re using a humidifier or vaporizer to ease breathing symptoms, be sure to use them safely. These devices can help keep airways moist, but only when properly maintained. Use distilled or demineralized water, clean the tank daily, and disinfect weekly to prevent mold and bacteria buildup. Avoid over-humidifying your space — aim for indoor humidity between 30–50%. And never add essential oils or medications unless the device is designed for it. Safe use supports respiratory health and helps reduce the risk of infections like pneumonia.
