💊 WHEN SHOULD YOU NOT TAKE IBUPROFEN?

Ibuprofen can be great for relieving pain, inflammation and fever ….. but it isn’t suitable for everyone.

You should check with a pharmacist or healthcare professional before taking ibuprofen if you:

❌ Have or have previously had a stomach ulcer
❌ Have had an allergic reaction to ibuprofen, aspirin or other NSAIDs
❌ Have asthma, particularly if painkillers have triggered symptoms before
❌ Have heart, liver or kidney problems
❌ Have problems with blood clotting
❌ Are taking blood-thinning medicines or certain other medications
❌ Are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
❌ Are already taking another NSAID painkiller, such as naproxen or aspirin for pain relief

⚠️ Remember: Just because a medicine is available without a prescription doesn’t mean it’s suitable for everyone.

Not sure what pain relief you can safely take? Speak to the team at Belle Isle Pharmacy before taking it — we’re here to help you choose the right option.

🦟 BITTEN? STUNG? ITCHY, RED OR SWOLLEN? 🐜

Insect bites and stings are common, especially during the warmer months and while travelling. Most are mild and improve within a few days but that doesn’t mean you have to put up with the itching and irritation!

Belle Isle Pharmacy can help.

Come and speak to our friendly pharmacy team if you have:

🔸 Itching or irritation
🔸 Redness or mild swelling
🔸 Pain or tenderness around a bite or sting
🔸 A rash following an insect bite
🔸 A bite that just doesn’t seem to be settling
🔸 Concerns about whether it could be infected

We can assess your symptoms and advise on the most appropriate treatment, which may include antihistamines, creams or other suitable pharmacy treatments.

⚠️ Seek urgent medical help if you develop difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, severe dizziness, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction.

If a bite becomes increasingly hot, painful, swollen, starts producing pus, or you feel generally unwell, don’t ignore it — come and speak to us or seek medical advice.

🌿 Whether you’ve been bitten in the garden, on a summer walk or while travelling, Belle Isle Pharmacy is here to help you get the right advice and treatment.

💊 ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE: CHECK BEFORE YOU TAKE

Did you know it can be surprisingly easy to accidentally take too much of a medicine …. especially when several products contain the same active ingredient?

Paracetamol is a common example. It can be found in many different products, including:

💊 Cold & flu remedies
💊 Cough and pain-relief medicines
💊 Headache and migraine products
💊 Prescription painkillers containing paracetamol

You may not realise you’re taking paracetamol from more than one source at the same time.

🌿 And don’t forget herbal and complementary remedies. These can also interact with medicines, so “natural” doesn’t automatically mean they’re safe to combine with everything else you’re taking.

Before combining medicines or supplements, check the ingredients and follow the recommended dose.

☎️ Not sure what you can take together? Give Belle Isle Pharmacy a call or pop in and speak to our pharmacy team. We’re here to help you use your medicines safely.

⚠️ If you think you or someone else may have taken more than the recommended dose of a medicine, seek medical advice promptly even if they feel well.

🩺 WORRIED ABOUT MENINGITIS? SPEAK TO OUR PHARMACY TEAM

Meningitis can be a serious illness and may develop quickly, so understanding the signs and knowing what protection may be appropriate is important.

At Belle Isle Pharmacy, our team can provide a private consultation about meningitis protection, including discussing vaccination options that may be suitable for you or your family.

During your consultation, suitability and the appropriate options can be discussed individually with you.

Remember, vaccination does not protect against every cause of meningitis.

If someone becomes seriously unwell and meningitis or septicaemia is suspected, seek urgent medical attention. Do not wait for a rash to appear.

☀️ Sunburn isn’t just painful… it’s skin damage. ☀️

A day in the sun can leave you red, sore and uncomfortable, but repeated sunburn also increases your risk of skin cancer and premature ageing.

If you’ve caught a little too much sun:
🌿 Cool your skin with a cool (not icy) shower or damp cloth.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
🧴 Apply a soothing after-sun or aloe vera gel.
🚫 Avoid popping any blisters if they develop.
☀️ Keep the affected area out of the sun until it has healed.

Need advice? Pop into Belle Isle Pharmacy. Our friendly team can recommend products to soothe your skin and help you stay protected for the rest of the summer.

🕶️ Remember:
✔️ Apply SPF 30+ (or SPF 50 for extra protection)
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming
✔️ Wear a hat, sunglasses and seek shade during the hottest part of the day

Your skin remembers every sunburn—protect it today for a healthier tomorrow. 💛

💧 Ladies… don’t ignore the signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI). 💧

That burning sensation, needing to rush to the toilet, or feeling like you need to go constantly can be signs of a urinary tract infection.

✨ One of the simplest ways to help reduce your risk is by drinking plenty of water. Staying hydrated helps flush bacteria from your urinary tract and supports your body’s natural defences.

If you think you may have a UTI, don’t suffer in silence. At Belle Isle Pharmacy, we can assess your symptoms and, where appropriate under the Pharmacy First service, provide treatment without you needing to wait for a GP appointment.

🚶‍♀️ Pop into the pharmacy and speak to our friendly team in confidence. We’re here to help you get back to feeling your best.
