💜 💜 August 31 – International Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Today we remember those we’ve lost and stand with everyone touched by overdose here in Wembley, Grande Prairie and across the Peace Country.

Naloxone kits are available at Wembley PharmaChoice at no charge to you through Alberta’s Community Based Naloxone Program — no prescription or ID needed, no questions asked. Stop in and our team will show you how to use one in about five minutes.

Don’t be afraid to call for help. The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act protects you from simple possession charges when you call 911 for an overdose.

Check in on someone. A text, a coffee, a “how are you really doing?” can mean more than you know.

Struggling, or worried about someone? Our pharmacists are here to talk. Alberta’s 24/7 Addiction Helpline: 1-866-332-2322.

You are not alone. 🤝

Did You Know? Many women who thought they were just experiencing burnout, stress, or "normal aging" are actually discovering they've had ADHD all along.

Recent research shows a fascinating trend: more women than ever are being diagnosed with ADHD in their 30s, 40s, and 50s!
Here's what you should know:

Hormones Matter: Estrogen levels affect dopamine in the brain, which plays a key role in ADHD. During perimenopause, when estrogen drops, many women notice their ADHD symptoms become more pronounced.

Different Symptoms: Women often present with inattentive-type ADHD (daydreaming, forgetfulness, difficulty focusing) rather than the hyperactive type more commonly seen in men.

High Achievers: Many successful women have developed coping mechanisms that work for years until life changes (like having children or entering perimenopause) make those strategies less effective.

It's Never Too Late: Getting diagnosed later in life can be incredibly validating and help women understand themselves better.
Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult?

At Wembley Pharmacy, we're here to support your health journey at every stage of life. Whether you have questions about ADHD medications, hormone therapy, or just want to learn more about women's health, our knowledgeable pharmacists are here to help!
