STRONG BONES ARE BUILT BEFORE A BREAK HAPPENS

Osteoporosis is often called a 'silent' condition because bone loss may occur without obvious symptoms.

Your risk may be higher if you:
Have experienced a fracture after a minor fall
Have a family history of osteoporosis
Are postmenopausal
Take certain medicines long-term
Have low calcium or vitamin D intake
Smoke or drink excessive alcohol
Do very little weight-bearing activity
Protecting your bones can include appropriate exercise, adequate nutrition, falls prevention, medicine review and bone-density testing when recommended.

Ask our pharmacists whether your health history or medicines could be affecting your bone health.

Eczema care isn’t one cream—it’s a daily routine that protects your skin barrier. 🤍
STEP 1 — CLEANSE
Use a gentle, soap-free cleanser and keep showers short and lukewarm.
STEP 2 — HYDRATE
Apply a basic layer of fragrance-free hydration while the skin is still slightly damp.
STEP 3 — LOCK IT IN
Follow with a richer moisturiser or ointment to help seal in moisture and reduce dryness.
STEP 4 — FLARE-UP CARE
Use your recommended treatments correctly and speak with our pharmacists if the skin becomes painful, weepy, crusted or increasingly inflamed.
STEP 5 — SUPPORT FROM WITHIN
A balanced diet supports overall wellbeing. A daily probiotic may suit some people, but it complements—it doesn’t replace—proven eczema care.
Visit Amcal Como and let our pharmacists help you build an eczema routine for your skin.

Heartburn, bloating, indigestion or that uncomfortable “heavy stomach” feeling?

✓ Choose appropriate short-term symptom relief
✓ Review how and when you take reflux medicines
✓ Discuss products that support digestive comfort
✓ Recognise when your symptoms need further investigation

Seek medical advice for difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood or black stools. Call 000 for severe or persistent chest pain.

🧠 Your brain deserves some attention too!

A big thank you to Blackmores for yesterday’s training on cognitive health and the launch of the new
Blackmores Cognition Ultra

One of our biggest takeaways? Cognitive health matters throughout adulthood — whether we’re studying, working, juggling busy lives or wanting to support healthy brain function as we age.

We learnt more about -citicoline, a source of choline that supports important brain processes. Choline is involved in producing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for memory, learning and attention. 🧠✨

Blackmores Cognition Ultra has been developed to support focus, attention, memory recall and information processing — because looking after our cognitive health should be part of looking after our overall health.

Thank you Blackmores for a great night of learning! 💛
