If you’re sick with something like a stomach bug, fever, or you can’t really eat or drink, a few medications sometimes need a short “pause” so your kidneys and blood pressure stay safe💕

People often remember this as SADMANS:

S – Sulfonylureas (ex: gliclazide)
A – ACE inhibitors (ex: ramipril, lisinopril)
D – Diuretics / “water pills” (ex: hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide)
M – Metformin
A – ARBs (ex: losartan, candesartan)
N – NSAIDs (ex: ibuprofen / Advil, naproxen)
S – SGLT2 inhibitors (ex: Jardiance, Farxiga)

Simple way to think of it:
If you’re dehydrated, not eating, or losing fluids, these meds can sometimes stress your kidneys or drop your blood pressure too low.

What to do:
• If you’re vomiting or have diarrhea → pause these temporarily
• Drink fluids if you can (water, oral rehydration, soup)
• Restart when you’re eating and drinking normally again
• If unsure, call your pharmacist—they deal with this all the time and it’s quick advice

Really proud to support the Turnbull School Fun Run in support of The Ottawa Hospital ❤️

Events like this are such a great reminder of how strong and caring our community is. Seeing the students, families, teachers, and volunteers come together with so much enthusiasm and support for such an important cause was genuinely inspiring.

The Ottawa Hospital touches so many lives in our city, and it means a lot to be able to give back in even a small way. Grateful to be part of a community that always shows up for one another 💕😍❤️

✨ SHINGLES PREVENTION MATTERS ✨

Most people think shingles only causes a rash but it can lead to severe nerve pain that lasts for months or even years. The good news? Prevention is possible. 💜

🛡️ WHAT IS SHINGLES?Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (varicella zoster virus). Even if you had chickenpox many years ago, the virus can stay dormant in the body and reactivate later in life.

⚠️ POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS OF SHINGLES:• Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) — long-lasting nerve pain after the rash heals• Eye complications and vision loss• Hearing or balance problems• Skin infections and scarring• Neurological complications• Hospitalization risk increases with age and weakened immunity

💉 WHO SHOULD RECEIVE SHINGRIX?✔️ Adults age 50 and older for routine prevention✔️ Adults 18 years and older who are immunocompromised or immunosuppressed due to medical conditions or medications

This includes people with:• Cancer treatments• HIV• Organ transplants• Autoimmune conditions• Steroid or biologic medication use

📅 SHINGRIX DOSING:2-dose vaccine seriesDose #2 is given 2–6 months after the first dose.

✅ WHY PREVENTION IS IMPORTANTThe risk of shingles and complications increases with age — especially after 50. Vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia.

💜 A small shot today may help prevent BIG pain tomorrow.

Talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist to see if Shingrix is right for you.
