Back-to-School Medication Tips

Whether your child is starting elementary school, high school, or college, a little medication planning can make the school year easier.

1. Know your school’s policy. If your child needs medication during the school day, check with the school nurse or office. You may need parent permission, a prescriber’s order, specific forms, and medication in its original labeled container.

2. Ask about medication timing. If a dose falls during school hours, ask your pharmacist or provider whether it can safely be scheduled around the school day. Never adjust medication timing on your own.

3. Consider common OTC needs. Find out what medications you can authorize the school nurse to give if needed, such as appropriate pain relievers or allergy medications.

4. Plan for emergency medications. If your child uses an inhaler, epinephrine, glucagon, seizure rescue medication, or another emergency medicine, make sure there is a plan for quick access—including during sports, field trips, and activities.

5. Prepare teens for independence. Older students should know their medication names, doses, what they’re for, when to take them, and what to do if they miss a dose or need a refill.

6. Make a college refill plan. Before move-in, decide how prescriptions will be filled. Depending on the medication and insurance, students may be able to use our shipping services.

7. Keep an updated medication list. Include medication names, doses, allergies, and other important health information—especially for students living away from home.

Have questions about managing medications during the school year? Your pharmacist can help with refill planning, medication schedules, school medication needs, and options for students away at college.

Sample Friday is bringing the sweet AND the heat this week!

We're sampling Mango Passionfruit Habanero Jam starting at noon and throughout the weekend!

This unique jam combines sweet, tropical mango and passionfruit with a kick of habanero for a flavor that's fruity, bright, and just a little spicy.

Not sure what you'd do with it?

Try it...
With cream cheese and crackers for an easy appetizer
As a glaze for chicken or pork
On a burger or grilled sandwich
Paired with your favorite cheese
Or simply spread on a cracker and enjoy!

It might sound like an unusual combination, but that's exactly why you need to try it!

Stop by Chet's starting at noon today for a free sample. Samples will be available throughout the weekend while supplies last!

Why Should You Care About Digestive Health?

Your digestive system does a lot more than handle what you eat! It breaks food down so your body can absorb the nutrients it needs for energy, growth, and repair. Your digestive tract is also home to trillions of microorganisms, often called your gut microbiome, that play a role in digestion and overall health.

The good news? You don't need a complicated "gut health" routine to take care of your digestive system. A few everyday habits can make a difference:

Eat more fiber.
Whole grains, beans, lentils, fruits, vegetables, and nuts are great sources of fiber. Fiber helps support normal bowel function. Increase fiber gradually to give your digestive system time to adjust.

Drink plenty of fluids.
Water and other fluids help fiber do its job and can help keep stools softer and easier to pass.

Get moving.
Regular physical activity can help keep your digestive system moving, too.

Eat a variety of nutritious foods.
Instead of focusing on one "superfood," aim for a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and other nutrient-rich foods.

What about probiotics and digestive enzymes?

Not everyone needs a supplement, but they can be helpful in certain situations.

Probiotics contain live microorganisms, and certain strains may be beneficial for specific digestive concerns. For example, some probiotics may help reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Because different probiotic strains have different effects, choosing the right product matters.

Digestive enzymes help break down certain parts of food. Most healthy people naturally make the enzymes they need, but enzyme supplements can be useful for certain conditions. A common example is lactase, which can help people with lactose intolerance digest dairy products.

Not sure whether a probiotic or digestive enzyme makes sense for you? We carry digestive health products at Chet's and would be happy to help you find an appropriate option or answer your questions.

Taking care of your digestive health doesn't have to be complicated. Start with the basics: fiber-rich foods, plenty of fluids, regular movement, and a balanced diet. Small everyday choices can help keep your digestive system working the way it should!
