I regularly speak to people in the pharmacy who are taking cholesterol or blood pressure lowering medication. I then explain why someone receives these medications. You will not notice high cholesterol in your blood or high blood pressure. But if you don't take your medications properly, it can lead to a stroke or heart attack. Always discuss your doubts or questions about your medications with your doctor or pharmacist.

An infection or inflammation? These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. An infection occurs when a pathogen such as a bacteria, virus, parasite or fungus enters the body and multiplies unchecked. Inflammation is the body's own protective response to substances or tissue damage. Inflammation can be caused by an infection, such as a bladder infection or pneumonia.
When someone with allergy symptoms comes along, we ask a lot of questions: What are you allergic to? How long have you been suffering? And when do you suffer? Sometimes more research is needed. We advise our customers about various medications that combat the complaints. Such as with eye drops, tablets or a nasal sprays. And if someone is short of breath or has more serious complaints? We will then refer the person to the GP.
Exercise is good for young and old. It helps you stay in shape and keeps you mentally fit. Did you know that there is increasing evidence that exercise reduces the risk of developing dementia?
