🌟 Sister's Pick This Week 🌟

One of the most common questions we get: 'Which one should I take?'

Here's the quick breakdown:

💊 Tylenol (acetaminophen) — Good for pain and fever. Gentle on the stomach. Not a great fit if you drink alcohol regularly or have liver concerns.

💊 Advil / Motrin (ibuprofen) — Good for inflammation, muscle pain, and cramps. Take with food. Not ideal if you have kidney issues or take blood thinners.

💊 Aleve (naproxen) — Longer lasting than ibuprofen. Good for back pain or arthritis flare-ups. Also take with food.

💊 Aspirin — Good for fever and pain, but most people use it now for heart health (low-dose). Talk to your doctor before starting a daily aspirin routine.

Not sure which one is right for your medications and health history? That's what we're here for. Ask us at the counter — seriously, it takes two minutes.

¿Cuál analgésico debo tomar? Es una de las preguntas más comunes.

Tylenol: bueno para dolor y fiebre, suave para el estómago. Advil/Motrin: bueno para inflamación y cólicos, tomar con comida. Aleve: dura más, bueno para dolor de espalda y artritis. Aspirina: útil para la salud del corazón en dosis bajas — consulta a tu médico antes.

¿No estás seguro cuál es el indicado para ti? Pregúntanos en el mostrador.

Sharing this again because transferring your prescriptions really is this simple.

One call to (504) 354-8616. Your name, your medication, your date of birth. We handle everything else.

Most transfers are done same-day or within 24 hours. We accept most insurances including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CVS Caremark, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare D & B, and United Healthcare.

If you've been thinking about switching — this week is as good a time as any.

If you're managing high blood pressure, summer heat is something your pharmacist wants you to think about.

Here's why: heat causes your blood vessels to expand, which can drop your blood pressure — but it also causes dehydration, which can spike it. For people on blood pressure medications, that back-and-forth is harder to manage.

A few things worth knowing:
🔹 Some blood pressure meds including your diuretic, make you more sensitive to heat and sun — ask us if yours does
🔹 Dehydration can make your medication work differently than expected
🔹 If you're feeling dizzy or lightheaded in the heat, don't just push through it
🔹 Caffeine and alcohol hit harder when you're already dehydrated

Not sure how summer affects your specific medication plan? Stop in or call — this is exactly the kind of conversation we're here for. No appointment needed.

Spanish:
Si tienes presión alta, el calor del verano es algo que tu farmacéutico quiere que tengas en cuenta.

El calor hace que los vasos sanguíneos se expandan, lo que puede bajar la presión — pero la deshidratación puede subirla. Para quienes toman medicamentos para la presión, esa combinación es más difícil de manejar.

Algunos medicamentos para la presión también aumentan la sensibilidad al sol. Si sientes mareos o aturdimiento con el calor, no lo ignores.

¿Dudas sobre tu plan de medicamentos en verano? Pasa por la farmacia — sin cita.

Real talk: men are less likely to refill their medications on time — and it's not always stubbornness. Life gets busy, the reminder slips, and suddenly it's been two weeks.

For blood pressure meds, cholesterol, diabetes, or anything heart-related, gaps in medication really do add up over time.

Here's what actually helps:
✅ Sync all refills to one pickup day so there's only one trip to remember
✅ Switch to a 90-day supply — fewer pickups, less chance of running out
✅ Set up auto-refill so the pharmacy notifies you when it's ready
✅ Ask us to call or text when your prescription is ready — we can do that

If there's someone in your life who keeps running out — forward this to them.

☎ (504) 354-8616..
Spanish:
La realidad: los hombres tienden a saltarse recargas más que las mujeres — y no siempre es terquedad. La vida se complica.

Para medicamentos del corazón, presión o diabetes, esas pausas sí importan.

Lo que funciona: sincronizar recargas en un solo día, pedir suministro de 90 días, activar recarga automática, o pedirnos que te llamemos cuando esté listo.

¿Conoces a alguien así? Comparte esto con ellos.

There's a moment that happens pretty often around here.

Someone walks in — maybe a little rushed, a little stressed — and before they even get to the counter, one of us says their name.

That moment matters to us. It tells them they're not just a transaction. They're part of this community, and we've been expecting them.

That's the whole reason we opened Sisters Pharmacy. And it's the reason we show up every single day.

Có một khoảnh khắc xảy ra khá thường xuyên ở đây.

Ai đó bước vào — có thể đang vội, đang lo lắng — và trước khi họ kịp đến quầy, chúng tôi đã gọi tên họ.

Khoảnh khắc đó quan trọng với chúng tôi. Nó cho họ biết rằng họ không chỉ là một giao dịch. Họ là một phần của cộng đồng này.

Đó là lý do chúng tôi mở Sisters Pharmacy...

🌟 Sister's Pick This Week 🌟

With the heat already here, Sister's current go-to for staying hydrated: Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier.

Here's why she likes it over plain water or sports drinks:
✅ Uses a specific ratio of sodium, glucose, and potassium that helps your body actually absorb the water faster
✅ Less sugar than most sports drinks
✅ Easy to throw in a bag — just mix with water

Good fit for: anyone spending time outdoors, seniors in the heat, or anyone who just never drinks enough water during the day.

Not sure if it's right for your situation — especially if you're on blood pressure meds or have kidney concerns? Ask us first. We'll help you figure out the right option.

Con este calor, Sister recomienda Liquid I.V. para mantenerse hidratado. Usa una proporción específica de sodio, glucosa y potasio que ayuda al cuerpo a absorber el agua más rápido — con menos azúcar que la mayoría de las bebidas deportivas.

¿Tomas medicamentos para la presión o tienes problemas renales? Consúltanos primero.

Sharing this again because it still gets us.

At a chain, you're one of hundreds of prescriptions filled that day . There's no time to notice when something's off — a dangerous interaction, a dose that doesn't make sense. We take the time to contact prescribers about prescription issues.

We opened Sisters Pharmacy because we believed people deserved better than that. A pharmacist who knows your name. Who has five minutes to actually talk and get to know you and your family.

That's still the whole point.

📣Big News for Louisiana Patients and Community Pharmacies!

Earlier this week, the Louisiana Legislature passed House Bill 1236 by Representative Jason Dewitt. The bill now awaits the signature of Governor Jeff Landry and will become effective upon signing.

HB 1236 builds on Louisiana's ongoing efforts to reform Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) practices and strengthen protections for patients and community pharmacies across the state.

⭐️Key Provisions of HB 1236:

✅ Clarifies pharmacy reimbursement standards

✅ Protects independent pharmacy network access

✅ Prevents PBMs from shifting costs to patients

✅ Reinforces existing anti-steering protections

✅ Supports long-term access to community pharmacies statewide

This legislation represents another important step toward a more transparent, accountable, and patient-centered prescription drug system in Louisiana.

Community pharmacies play a vital role in ensuring patients have access to personalized care, essential medications, and trusted healthcare services close to home. HB 1236 helps preserve that access while promoting fairness throughout the pharmacy marketplace.

💜A significant victory for Louisiana patients, healthcare providers, employers, and independent pharmacies!

In Louisiana, dehydration isn't just a beach problem — it's a June-through-September reality for a lot of people.

By the time you feel thirsty, you're already behind. Here's what to watch for instead:

🔴 Dark urine (should be pale yellow)
🔴 Headache or dizziness that comes on in the heat
🔴 Muscle cramps, especially in the legs
🔴 Feeling foggy or unusually tired

Who needs to be most careful: seniors, young kids, anyone on diuretics or blood pressure meds, and anyone working or exercising outside.

Not sure what to grab? Stop in and ask us — we'll point you to the right electrolyte option for your situation. Not every product works the same for every person...
Spanish:
En Louisiana, la deshidratación es una realidad del verano — no solo en la playa.

Cuando sientes sed, ya estás deshidratado. Señales a vigilar: o***a oscura, dolor de cabeza o mareos con el calor, calambres en las piernas, y cansancio o confusión inusuales.

Si tomas medicamentos para la presión o diuréticos, habla con tu farmacéutico antes de elegir un suplemento de electrolitos. No todos funcionan igual para todos.

Pasa por la farmacia — te ayudamos a elegir bien.
