If your child takes medication for ADHD and had a break from it over the summer (a lot of families do this with their doctor's guidance), late August is a good time to have the conversation about restarting before school gets going.

A few things worth checking:
✅ Confirm the dose is still right — kids grow, and dosing sometimes needs adjusting after a summer off
✅ Restart a few days before school starts, not the morning of, so you can see how they respond
✅ Talk to the teacher and school nurse early about the plan, especially if timing during the school day matters
✅ Ask your prescriber about a 90-day supply so you're not making a pharmacy run mid-semester

However your family manages this, there's no one right way — just the way that works for your kid. We're glad to help with the logistics.

Si tu hijo toma medicamento para el TDAH y tomó un descanso durante el verano (algo que muchas familias hacen con la guía de su médico), fines de agosto es un buen momento para retomarlo antes de que empiecen las clases.

Vale la pena confirmar que la dosis siga siendo la correcta, reiniciar unos días antes de clases, hablar con la maestra y la enfermera escolar sobre el plan, y preguntar sobre un suministro de 90 días.

No hay una sola forma correcta de manejar esto — solo la que funcione para tu hijo. Con gusto ayudamos con la logística.

Ragweed season is creeping in, and this is the time of year we get a lot of "is this a cold or allergies?" questions. Here's a quick way to tell:

🤧 Allergies: itchy eyes/nose/throat, clear runny nose, sneezing fits, symptoms that last for weeks and are worse outdoors
🤒 A cold: sore throat, body aches, low fever, thicker mucus, and it usually clears up in 7–10 days

If it's allergies, your options: a non-drowsy antihistamine (Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra), a nasal steroid spray (Flonase, Nasacort) for more stubborn congestion, or both together for bigger flares.

Not sure which one fits your symptoms — or which is safe with your other medications? Ask us before you guess at the aisle.

La temporada de ambrosía (ragweed) está comenzando, y esta es la época del año en que más nos preguntan: "¿esto es un resfriado o alergias?"

Alergias: ojos/nariz/garganta con picazón, moqueo claro, estornudos, síntomas que duran semanas y empeoran al aire libre. Resfriado: dolor de garganta, dolores corporales, fiebre baja, y generalmente mejora en 7–10 días.

Si son alergias: antihistamínico no sedante, aerosol nasal con esteroides, o ambos para casos más fuertes. ¿No estás seguro? Pregúntanos antes de adivinar en el pasillo.

We have a small ask this week. 🙏

If Sisters Pharmacy made your back-to-school season a little easier — a fast refill, help figuring out a vaccine requirement, or just a friendly face on a busy morning — a Google review would mean a lot to us.

It takes about 60 seconds, and it helps other families in Greater New Orleans find us when they're looking for something better than a chain.

Search "Sisters Pharmacy Metairie" on Google. Thank you, really.

🌟 Sister's Pick This Week 🌟

Following up on Contact Lens Health Week — Sister's pick this week is actually two things, depending on who's shopping:

👁️ For contact wearers: a preservative-free multipurpose solution — gentler on the eyes, especially if yours tend to feel dry or irritated by end of day
👓 For everyone else: a rack of over-the-counter reading glasses in a few strengths, because squinting at school forms and permission slips isn't a personality trait, it's just needing readers

Not sure what strength or solution is right for you? Ask at the counter — takes two minutes.

🌟 Favorito de la Semana 🌟

Siguiendo con la Semana de Salud de Lentes de Contacto — la recomendación de Sister esta semana:

Para quienes usan lentes de contacto: solución multipropósito sin conservantes, más suave para los ojos. Para todos los demás: lentes de lectura de venta libre en varias graduaciones.

¿No sabes qué graduación o solución necesitas? Pregúntanos en el mostrador.

Sharing this again because it's one of the most common questions we get. 💊

Generics are required by the FDA to have the same active ingredient, dose, and form as the brand name. What can differ is mostly inactive ingredients, appearance, and — this is the good part — price. Generics are almost always significantly cheaper.

Questions about your specific medications? That's what we're here for.

Chúng tôi đang nghĩ đến việc thử một điều mới — những video ngắn (15 đến 20 giây, không cầu kỳ) để chúng tôi trò chuyện với bạn, thay vì chỉ là một bài đăng để lướt qua.

Nhưng trước khi bắt đầu quay, chúng tôi muốn biết bạn muốn xem gì. Hãy bình luận một số bên dưới (bạn có thể chọn nhiều hơn một nếu không quyết định được!) — hoặc nếu bạn nghĩ đến điều gì khác, hãy cho chúng tôi biết luôn nhé:

1️⃣ Thuốc và các sản phẩm không kê đơn — cái gì hiệu quả, cái gì không, và nên hỏi bác sĩ điều gì
2️⃣ Cách tiết kiệm tiền — câu hỏi về bảo hiểm, thuốc gốc so với thuốc biệt dược, giá tiền mặt
3️⃣ Sức khỏe theo mùa — dị ứng, chích ngừa cúm, bất cứ điều gì đang lây lan

Lựa chọn nào có nhiều bình chọn nhất, chúng tôi sẽ quay trước. 💜

🟡 Busy school-year mornings and medication schedules don't always mix well — especially if your family is juggling more than one prescription across more than one person.

A few things that can help:
📦 A weekly pill organizer — sounds simple, but it genuinely prevents missed or doubled-up doses
📅 Ask us about syncing refill dates — so everyone's prescriptions are ready on the same day instead of five separate trips
⏰ Set a phone reminder tied to something you already do daily, like breakfast or brushing teeth
🗣️ Tell us if a schedule change (new sport, new after-school routine) is making a medication harder to take consistently — we can often help adjust timing with your doctor's OK

If mornings feel like a juggling act, let us help take one thing off your plate.

🟡 Las mañanas escolares ajetreadas y los horarios de medicamentos no siempre combinan bien, especialmente si tu familia maneja más de una receta.

Lo que puede ayudar: un organizador de pastillas semanal, sincronizar las fechas de recarga para que todo esté listo el mismo día, y una alarma en el teléfono ligada a algo que ya haces a diario.

Si las mañanas se sienten como un malabarismo, déjanos ayudarte con eso.

It's Contact Lens Health Week, and if your household has a first-time contact wearer this school year (or just someone who could use a refresher), here's what actually matters:

👁️ Wash and dry hands before you touch your lenses — every time, no shortcuts
👁️ Never use tap water or saliva to rinse a lens — ever
👁️ Replace lens case solution daily, and the case itself every 3 months
👁️ Follow your replacement schedule — dailies are dailies, not 'stretch them a few extra days'
👁️ Never sleep in lenses unless your eye doctor has specifically approved it

Contact lens infections are one of the most preventable eye problems out there — and almost always come down to one of these habits slipping.

Questions about lens care or supplies? We can help.

Es la Semana de la Salud de los Lentes de Contacto. Si alguien en casa usa lentes de contacto por primera vez este año escolar, esto es lo que realmente importa:

Lávate las manos antes de tocar los lentes, nunca uses agua del grifo o saliva para enjuagarlos, cambia la solución del estuche a diario y el estuche cada 3 meses, y sigue tu calendario de reemplazo al pie de la letra.

¿Dudas sobre el cuidado de tus lentes? Podemos ayudarte.

Two weeks into the school year now — how's it going? 😅

Whether mornings are running smoothly or you're still finding a lost shoe five minutes before the bus, you're doing fine. It takes a few weeks for any routine to actually feel like a routine.
