Have you checked your medicine cupboard lately? 👀
Many medicines are wasted each year because they are ordered but never used.
Before ordering your repeat prescription:
✔ Check what you already have
✔ Only order the medicines you need
✔ Ask your pharmacy team if you need advice
Together we can reduce waste and help keep medicines available for everyone. 💙

Extreme temperatures

This summer we’ve experienced temperatures far exceeding previous years, and it doesn’t look set to end anytime soon. Hot weather can cause health issues in the young and vulnerable, but it’s important for everyone to take a few steps to keep cool when the heat rises:
Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day; don’t wait until you’re thirsty
Limit alcohol intake
If you’re going to do a physical activity, plan to do this during times of the day when it’s cooler
Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day
Keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
Keep an eye on those around you for any signs of heat exhaustion.

Prescriptions

Going away this summer? Please remember to order enough of your medication, at least five days in advance of your holiday. Running out of regular medication where you’re unable to source more could cause serious side effects. Enjoy your holiday; request your medication early!
