Antibiotics won't fix your cold, and here's why.

Colds and flu are caused by viruses. Antibiotics only work on bacteria, so taking them for a cold or flu won't help you feel better, and over time, it may actually do more harm than good.

What will help? There are effective options that might help ease your symptoms and support your recovery.

Pop into West Pymble Pharmacy and let's chat.

Most people associate RSV with babies.
What many don't realise is that RSV can also cause serious illness in older adults.

RSV is a common virus that circulates during winter. While it often causes cold-like symptoms, it can sometimes lead to serious respiratory complications, including pneumonia.

This RSV Awareness Week, take a moment to learn the signs of severe RSV and understand who may be at higher risk of complications.

West Pymble Pharmacy offers Free RSV vaccination through the National Immunisation Program for:

✔️ Adults aged 75 years and over
✔️ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 60 years and over

Come speak with our team about RSV vaccination and staying protected this winter.

If you're dealing with pain or a fever, taking paracetamol and ibuprofen together may actually work better than taking more of just one.

They work differently in the body, which means they might complement each other, giving you better relief at lower doses of each.

Of course, everyone's situation is different. Some people may need to avoid one or the other depending on their health history, which is exactly why we're here.

That's exactly why we're here, come ask us, and we'll point you in the right direction.
