Traveler's Diarrhea

3/22/2018

0 Comments

 
     Are you planning a trip to a tropical destination to escape the cold? If visiting countries in Central and South America, Mexico, Africa and Asia, there is a higher risk for Traveler’s Diarrhea (TD).
     TD is typically contracted by consuming contaminated food or water. It can also be spread through person-to- person contact due to poor hygiene.  The best way to prevent TD is by avoiding foods that can make you sick and
drinking bottled water.  Remember the saying “boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it”.  Wash your hands frequently and avoid consuming water from swimming pools.
     Dukoral is an oral vaccine to help prevent TD available without a prescription. Note that it must be started at least 2 weeks prior to departure. Mild diarrhea can be treated with Imodium and electrolyte replacements.
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to take with you to treat TD, if severe.

March is Pharmacist Awareness Month

3/8/2018

    March is Pharmacist Awareness Month!  Pharmacists across Canada have had a widely expanded scope of practice over the past decade that has us doing more than ever before.  Highly accessible, we are an important resource to help manage your medication.  We have the authority to adapt or renew prescriptions if your doctor is unavailable.  Pharmacists can prescribe medication to help you quit smoking.  We can perform comprehensive medication reviews and help manage chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension.  In addition to the flu shot, pharmacists can now administer 13 additional vaccines for preventable diseases like shingles or for travel, improving access for patients.  As always, we continue to ensure your medication is safe and the dose correct, offer advice on over-the-counter and natural health products and counsel you on your prescription.
​
     Pharmacists are medication experts and so much more.  We have welcomed an expanded role in Canada’s health care system and can provide a growing list of services.  We invite you to come to Midhurst Pharmacy today to learn what your pharmacist can do for you!
