⚠️ Is Your Sleep Aid Hiding a Risk? Melatonin is a popular supplement for sleep and stress management, especially during a busy week.

However, a recent study suggests regular supplementation may hide underlying heart complications and can interact dangerously with common medications, including blood thinners and high blood pressure drugs.

Given that chronic conditions like heart disease and hypertension are prevalent in Flint, this is crucial information.

Our team is here to help. Before starting any new supplement, always check with us!

We can review your full medication list and ensure you're sleeping soundly and safely.

When a headache or body ache hits, do you reach for the blue or the red bottle? 💊 Choosing the right over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever is about more than just grabbing what's on the shelf—it's about matching the medicine to your symptom safely!

Here’s a quick guide from your local Pharmacist on the two most common types:

Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol): Best for reducing fever 🌡️ and relieving general aches and pains (like headaches). It works in the brain to block pain signals. Remember: Check other cold medicines, as many already contain Acetaminophen, and taking too much can harm your liver.

Ibuprofen (NSAID - e.g., Advil/Motrin): Best for reducing inflammation (swelling) along with pain and fever. This makes it a great choice for sprains, muscle soreness, menstrual cramps, or minor arthritis pain 💪.

The Local Pharmacist Difference: Always check with us! Especially if you are taking prescription medications, have a chronic condition, or are considering a combination product. We're here to help you navigate the OTC aisle safely and quickly!

Did you know expired medication is a poison risk? 🗑️💊 It’s Talk About Your Medicines Month—time to clean out your medicine cabinet! Meds lose potency and can become dangerous over time, creating unnecessary risk for your family, especially children.

🚫 Don’t flush or trash old pills (unless specifically instructed).

✅ Safe At-Home Disposal Steps:
1️⃣ Mix with coffee grounds or kitty litter (do not crush tablets or open capsules).
2️⃣ Seal the mixture in a bag or container.
3️⃣ Toss it into your household trash.
4️⃣ Remove or black out all personal information from the label before tossing the bottle.

EXTRA CONVENIENCE: Mark your calendar! The next DEA Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday, October 25th. Ask our team about your options for secure, year-round disposal or where to find a nearby drop-off site in Flint. Your safety is our priority!

Heads up, Flint! (Literally) 🧠 A new study on young adults (ages 16-35) highlights a clear, practical benefit of staying up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccinations: fewer symptoms if you get infected.

The research found that those with 3 or more doses had a lower incidence of severe symptoms like lingering headaches and reduced sense of smell compared to those with fewer doses.

Don't just protect against hospitalization—protect your quality of life, especially as we head into the winter respiratory season!

Need to talk through your seasonal vaccine options? Our pharmacists are here to provide the trustworthy, personal guidance you need to make an informed decision for yourself and your family.

⚠️ Meds, Vitamins, & Va**ng: The Interaction Trap! ⚠️

It's Talk About Your Medicines Month, and we need to talk about what you don't think is medicine—your vitamins, herbal supplements, even certain foods!

We’ve seen it all: common supplements like St. John's Wort or even high-dose Vitamin C can actually interact with your prescription medications, making them less effective or increasing side effects.

The most important thing you can do is bring us a complete list of everything you take. We'll cross-check for interactions and give you personalized advice. That's the power of having a local pharmacist you trust.

Stop by or call us today to review your full medication and supplement list!
