High blood pressure is often brushed aside as a common occurrence and people may have a tendency to not take it seriously till the problem aggravates to unmanageable levels. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

🧡 Measuring your blood pressure accurate is crucial to know if you have hypertension.
🧡 Hypertension is a silent killer because in its early stages, it rarely causes symptoms, and many people go undiagnosed.
🧡 If you have hypertension (blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg), you should seek advice from a health professional.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗜𝘁
🧡 Diagnosing and treating hypertension timely can reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and kidney failure, among other health problems.
🧡 When blood pressure is high, the heart has to pump harder, increasing the risk of damage to the heart and blood vessels in major organs such as the brain and kidneys.
🧡 If you have hypertension, you should seek advice from a health professional. (https://bit.ly/39V0K7j)

Humidifiers can be a great solution for many winter-related problems. Benefits that come along with using a humidifier in your home or office during these cold, winter months, include:

🔸 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀
Moisture has the ability to prevent the movement of germs, as they combine with this moisture and simply drop.
🔸 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻
Cold, dry air sucks out the moisture from your skin, causing all kinds of problems, such as dullness, dryness, flaking, and premature ageing. Humidifiers add back the valuable moisture.
🔸 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
For those who breathe through their mouth, it is almost impossible to prevent dryness from settling in. Using a humidifier will not only help you sleep more comfortably, it can also help cut down on your snoring.
🔸 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗺𝗮
Both children and adults with asthma normally find humidifiers to be helpful in breathing. If you have asthma and wish to use a humidifier, make sure to check with your doctor first.
🔸 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀
Allergy sufferers tend to feel more comfortable with heightened humidity, as it may help soothe the tissues in the throat and nasal passages. (https://bit.ly/3L7IKTY )

The harsh winter months can take a toll on your overall health, but with a humidifier you will be good to go. Contact your helpful team at The Local Choice Pharmacy for trusted advice.

Neuroscience confirms that to be truly happy, you will always need something more. In fact, the act of seeking itself, rather than the goals we realise, is key to satisfaction. The fact that we don’t have everything we want is exactly what makes life so fulfilling.

Happy Friday from all of us at The Local Choice Pharmacy! Enjoy a fulfilling weekend! 🤣

Despite working through challenging circumstances, they continue to go above and beyond to deliver highly skilled, safety-critical care to patients every single day.

The job of a pharmacist isn’t just about filling prescriptions - it’s about helping people live healthier lives. Here are some health awareness tips and facts straight from your pharmacist:

🔸 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫-𝐭𝐡𝐞-𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 (𝐎𝐓𝐂) 𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨
You have to be very careful about mixing OTC drugs with prescription drugs. Sometimes, OTC and herbal medications can interact with your other medications or have harmful side effects.
🔸 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥
The danger of taking unneeded antibiotics is that your body can become resistant to them – so when you actually do have a dangerous bacterial infection, the antibiotic might not work.
🔸 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞
While some pills are safe to split, others are not. The general rule of thumb is that if a pill is scored down the middle, it is safe to split if your doctor has instructed you to do so to get the correct dose.
🔸 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭
That full glass of water will ensure your medications are washed out of your very sensitive esophagus, reducing the risk of irritation. Secondly, some medications can dehydrate you.

There's nothing pharmacists haven't heard before. Seek the information you want and need - never let embarrassment drive you to self-treat incorrectly or avoid getting the help you need. We can and will protect your privacy! We are always here for you!

Good hand hygiene with the right hand products not only ensures clean hands, but also creates organisational climate in which value is placed on safety and infection prevention. This can only be achieved by working together.

🧼 Wash your hands with soap at critical times, especially before eating, cooking, or feeding others.
🧼 Model good handwashing behavior, and remind or help others to always wash their hands before eating.
🧼 Establish places to wash your hands in the household, in your community, in schools, workplaces, and in health facilities.

By practising good hand hygiene ourselves, we also set an example for others. In this way, we set in motion a chain reaction against chains of infection. (https://bit.ly/3F5G9sh)

Visit The Local Choice Pharmacies for the best hand hygiene products. We are here for you!

🚬 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗪!

Although most of us are aware of the health dangers associated with smoking, millions of South Africans still light up. This is unfortunate because smoking puts you at risk of developing illnesses such as lung cancer, chronic lung diseases and heart disease.

Ni****ne exposure also negatively affects brain development in children, teens and young adults.

Quitting can be challenging, especially with the added social and economic stress that have come as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are a lot of reasons to quit. Ask your pharmacist at The Local Choice Pharmacy about non-prescription and prescription medications that can help you quit.

Let’s use 𝗠𝗮𝘆 - 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 as a launching pad to a brighter and less smokey future! We are here for you!
