Did you know? 🤔

The red “Rx” symbol comes from the Latin word recipe, which means “take this.”

💊 Back in medieval times, doctors would write “Rx” at the start of prescriptions to tell pharmacists what ingredients to “take” and prepare. Some also believe the symbol traces back to Jupiter’s symbol (♃), thought to bring good health and protection.

In othe words: It's a small symbol with a big history! 🩺

Back to school = back busy schedules. 💼🎒

Between early mornings, sports practices, and packed schedules, it’s easy for kids (and teens) to get dehydrated without even realizing it. Signs like fatigue, headaches, and trouble focusing may mean they’re low on electrolytes.

-Help replenish after sweat and activity
-Boost energy and concentration
-Support brain and body hydration

We can help you find kid-friendly and teen-safe options to keep the whole family hydrated all school year long. Talk to us to find the right one! 💧

Medication Safety 101: Here’s What NOT to Mix

💊 Certain foods and drinks can alter how your medications work or cause unwanted side effects.

Grapefruit, alcohol, vitamin K-rich foods, and more can interact with common meds like statins, blood thinners, and antibiotics.

Always check with your pharmacist or doctor before mixing meds with anything new. Your safety should always come first.

How well do you know common kids’ medications?

💊 Acetaminophen is a go-to for pain and fever relief when dosed correctly. Ibuprofen is another safe option, often used for similar symptoms. Diphenhydramine helps with allergies and sometimes sleep but should be used cautiously in little ones. Aspirin, however, isn’t recommended for children under 12 because it can cause a rare but serious condition called Reye’s syndrome. Did you guess correctly?

✅ The answer is Aspirin. As always, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before giving any medication to children.
