Sunday is World Menopause Day. This year’s theme, “Chronic Pain at Midlife,” highlights an often overlooked part of the menopause experience.

Chronic pain affects many women during and after the menopause transition, yet its impact can be underestimated.

This World Menopause Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage better recognition and support more informed conversations about menopause and midlife health.

If you have concerns about menopause symptoms or ongoing pain, speak with your healthcare professional about the support available to you.

Many people still believe wounds heal feaster when left uncovered. This is not true!

Cleaning and covering a wound not only protects the injury from friction, bacteria and contamination, it also provides conditions for the wound to heal more efficiently.

Make sure to monitor and change out the dressing frequently, and we are always here to help if you have any questions😊. Come speak with our friendly pharmacists today for advice on how to best manage your wounds.

Asthma management is not just about relieving symptoms. It is also about treating the underlying inflammation.

The updated Australian Asthma Handbook recommends against SABA-only treatment for adults and adolescents. Anti-inflammatory reliever therapy is now the recommended starting treatment.

If you are relying on a blue puffer or using it often, speak with your healthcare professional about less SABA and more AIR.

Do not change your asthma medicines without first speaking with your doctor or pharmacist.
