At The Local Choice Pharmacy, we believe good health goes beyond prescriptions. It's about looking out for one another, building connections, and creating communities where everyone feels supported.

Why do hormones affect my mood? 🤔

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They help control everything from your energy levels and sleep to your emotions and mood. They work closely with brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which influence how happy, calm, motivated, or anxious you feel. When hormone levels change, it can affect this balance and leave you feeling more emotional, irritable, anxious, or low than usual.

For women, these changes can happen during puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Hormonal fluctuations during these stages can affect not only mood, but also concentration, motivation, and overall wellbeing.

👉 While occasional mood changes are normal, ongoing or severe mood swings shouldn’t be ignored. If your emotions are starting to affect your daily life, speak to your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether hormones may be playing a role and discuss ways to help you feel more like yourself again.

Do children need vitamin supplements? 🤔

While vitamins can be a helpful addition when recommended by your healthcare professional, they shouldn’t replace a healthy, balanced diet. The best place for children to get their nutrients is from the food they eat every day. Aim for a colourful “rainbow diet” filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables to help support healthy growth and development. 🍇🍎🍊🍌🌽🥑🥦

Every child’s nutritional needs are different, so if you’re considering a vitamin supplement, choose one that is appropriate for your child’s age and speak to your healthcare professional for guidance. Remember: Good nutrition first, supplements second.

🤔 Why do I have to pay a co-payment on my medicine?

Having medical aid offers peace of mind and access to quality private healthcare, but it doesn’t always mean every medicine is covered in full. A co-payment is the amount you need to pay when your medical aid doesn’t cover the full cost of your medicine. This can happen when:
🔸 Your medicine costs more than your scheme is willing to pay.
🔸 The medicine isn’t on your medical aid’s preferred medicine list.
🔸 A brand-name medicine is chosen instead of a covered generic alternative.
🔸 Your benefit limits for the month or year have been reached.

In simple terms, your medical aid pays a set amount towards the medicine – and if the medicine costs more than that amount, you pay the difference. Understanding co-payments can help you make informed choices and avoid unexpected costs at the pharmacy counter. Where possible, we're happy to provide information on generic alternatives. Because paying extra for no reason is enough to give anyone a headache!

🦠🛡️ Antibiotics only work against bacteria, not viruses.

Bacteria are tiny living organisms that can survive and multiply on their own. They have their own structures, like a cell wall and systems for making proteins. Antibiotics work by targeting these structures to stop bacteria from growing or to kill them.

Viruses are completely different. They are not full living cells and cannot reproduce by themselves. Instead, they invade your body’s cells and “hijack” them to make more viruses. Because viruses live inside your own cells and don’t have the same structures as bacteria, antibiotics have nothing to target.

If bacteria are like independent factories, antibiotics can shut down the factory's machinery. Viruses, however, are more like hijackers that take over an existing factory (your cells). Since they're using your own machinery, antibiotics can't stop them.
This is why illnesses like the common cold, flu, and most sore throats do not get better with antibiotics.
