Recovering from surgery can be physically challenging. At first, physical activities will be limited to allow proper healing, but it's important to start moving when a doctor clears it. Stay on track to recovery with physiotherapy

Medicine Cabinet Clean Out Tip #2 -- Drugs that ca

Medicine Cabinet Clean Out Tip #2 -- Drugs that can be abused

Did you know -- 51% percent of Canadian homes contain medications that can be abused. Only 11 % of those keep them in a safe place.

This is something that can be uncomfortable to talk about, but is SO important to address. Today's tip is to advise you to look for these medications in your cabinet.

The most commonly abused groups of medications include:
Painkillers like morphine, dilaudid (hydromorphone), codeine
Depressants like ativan (lorazepam), zopiclone, Xanax (alprazolam)
Stimulants like methylphenidate (ritalin), adderall **this is not an exhaustive list, if you are not sure, please call*** Unfortunately, these medications can end up in the wrong people's hands if they are left unsecured in medicine cabinets. If you have these medications sitting in your medicine cabinet, we strongly encourage you to bring them back to us for proper disposal.
If you or someone in your home take these medications and you have concerns about how to store them, please give us a call and we can help you look in to your options.
For more information, Drug Free Kids Canada (https://www.drugfreekidscanada.org/drug-info/prescription-drugs/) is a great resource if you are concerned about prescription drug abuse. **Important Note** Our pharmacy offers opioid dependency treatment services. We are committed to the health and wellness of all patients and encourage you to please reach out to us for help if you or someone you know is struggling with addiction.
We also have naloxone kits if you are concerned about the possibility of opioid overdose for you or someone you love.
We are here to help.

Medicine Cabinet Clean Out -- Tip #1 Expired Medi

Medicine Cabinet Clean Out -- Tip #1

Expired Medications -- whats the big deal anyway?

Did you know... that liquids, pills, creams, nasal sprays, inhalers, glucose test strips, injectables, vitamins, and supplements can all expire?? The biggest thing we want you to check your medicine cabinet for this week is medications that are expired. Check your bottles and boxes (or foil wrapped blisters if you can't find the box) to see if any medications may be out of date.
You can usually find the expiry date on the label, imprinted in to the box (which can be super hard to see, look closely!), or on the folded over edge of tubes of cream or ointment.
What happens when a medication expires?
- The potency (strength) of the medication can change. This means it can either be stronger or weaker, and is no longer safe to use.
- the medicinal ingredient may change its chemical structure over time. This means that the medication may no longer work the same way in your body and it's effects may be different.
- Some medications, especially liquids, creams, ointments and lotions, are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow! Taking these medications after they are expired, or if they haven't been stored correctly, means you could be ingesting bacteria that could make you sick!

Let's have a little fun -- let us know the date of the oldest medication you can find in your cabinet!

Does this look familiar? Most of us are guilty of

Does this look familiar?

Most of us are guilty of hanging on to left over medications "just in case", tossing them in the garbage, flushing them down the toilet, or finding a pack of Gravol somewhere in our house from 1999 and thinking "I wonder if this is still good?...." Now that the clocks have gone ahead, the days are getting longer and the sun is getting brighter what better time is there to get some spring cleaning going -- starting with that medicine cabinet!

From March 26-29th, we will be accepting any unused medications here at the pharmacy and disposing of them appropriately.
This week we will be posting daily tips on how to clean out your cabinet, how you should be storing your medications, why you should dispose of your medications correctly and what you should be looking for when you do so that you can get the most out of your medicine cabinet clean up.

Stay tuned, and happy cleaning!

It's the start of a new week and #mentalhealthmond

It's the start of a new week and #mentalhealthmonday is here again!
This week, the question is "what would you say to someone who feels the need to hide the way they are feeling?" my answer? What someone MAY think of you is never more important than your mental health. Reach out -- you may be surprised at the support you will get.
I did not speak out for months, probably YEARS when I really think about my behaviours and thoughts through pharmacy school. It took me a long time to realize that a lot of things I was doing and thinking were not "normal". When I finally accepted that I was sick, I was afraid of the backlash and being told to get over it. Do you know how many people said that to me? ZERO! I received the love and support that I needed to get better
What would you say?

Shout out to SickNotWeak and Whole Health Pharmacy Partners for hooking me up with some new swag -- the shirt says "fight for your happiness".

its #Pharmacist Phact Phriday!! (Could I possibly be more nerdy? I'm not sure.. but I'll probably try!) We're always telling you that pharmacists can prescribe for minor ailments -- but what does that mean for you? Well, have you ever thought about quitting smoking? Have you quit before and picked it back up? Do you want to quit but feeling overwhelmed by your options, or worse, not know your options?
Great news! If you #thinkpharmacist, quitting smoking is something a pharmacist can write you a prescription for. There is no appointment needed.

Our pharmacist has completed the QUIT educational program for smoking cessation and can work with you to pick a treatment option and guide you weekly through your quitting process.
Next Phriday we'll have another tip for you :) Enjoy your weekend! #PAM2018 #pharmacistawarenessmonth #askapharmacist #cornerbrook #quitsmoking #community #shoplocal #smallbusiness

A great response to our first #mentalhealthmonday

A great response to our first #mentalhealthmonday
Some of the responses included -- "I am very happy for you"
"For some the solution is medication, for others it may be talking with a friend, and for others exercise may be their outlet. Whatever the case, only you can know what is right for you."
"When I found the right meds colours of the world seemed brighter -- wait for your colours to get brighter!" Thanks to everyone who responded. Our pharmacist was out of town this Monday but the challenge will continue again this Monday, March 12! #SickNotWeak #mentalhealth #awareness #community #cornerbrook
