🥬 Want more magnesium without popping a pill?

Following up on this month's vitamin spotlight — here are some everyday foods that pack a magnesium punch:

🥑 Avocados
🌰 Almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds
🥬 Spinach and other dark leafy greens
🫘 Black beans, edamame
🍌 Bananas
🍫 Dark chocolate (yes, really!)
🐟 Salmon and mackerel
🌾 Whole grains and oats

Most adults need 300–400 mg of magnesium per day. If your diet falls short — or if you're dealing with cramps, poor sleep, or stress — a supplement can help bridge the gap.

Ask your MediCenter pharmacist which form (glycinate, citrate, malate) is the best fit for your needs.

🌡️ Living with diabetes? Summer needs a little extra planning.

Hot weather can affect blood sugar in ways most people don't realize:

🔸 Heat can speed up insulin absorption
🔸 Dehydration raises blood sugar levels
🔸 Insulin and test strips can become unstable above 86°F
🔸 Symptoms of low blood sugar can mimic heat exhaustion

A few summer-smart tips:
✅ Check your blood sugar more often on hot days
✅ Keep insulin OUT of direct sun and OUT of the car
✅ Drink water consistently — don't wait until you're thirsty
✅ Carry quick-acting glucose with you, always

If you have questions about storing or traveling with your medications this summer, ask your pharmacist. We're here for it.

💉 Vaccine Spotlight: Tdap

When's the last time you had a tetanus shot? If you can't remember, it's probably time.

Tdap protects against three serious illnesses:
🛡️ Tetanus — from cuts, scrapes, and rusty surfaces (think: summer yard work)
🛡️ Diphtheria — a serious bacterial infection
🛡️ Pertussis (whooping cough) — especially dangerous to infants

Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years. Pregnant women should get one with every pregnancy to protect newborns.

And summer is prime tetanus season — splinters, scraped knees, gardening cuts. Don't wait until after the injury to ask if you're up to date.

Walk in for your Tdap today. No appointment needed. Most insurance covered.

🌞 Summer is HERE — and your skin is already asking for help.

Before you head outside this weekend, a few things your pharmacist wants you to know:

☀️ Use SPF 30 or higher — and reapply!
👕 Cover up during peak sun hours (10am–4pm)
💧 Stay hydrated — heat + medications can be a tough combo
🌡️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea

Also — if you take blood pressure meds, diuretics, or certain antibiotics, you may be more sensitive to sun and heat than you realize. Ask us!

We carry sunscreen, electrolytes, and everything you need to enjoy summer safely. 🧴

✨ June Vitamin Spotlight: Magnesium

Magnesium might be the most underrated mineral in your medicine cabinet. It plays a role in over 300 processes in the body — and most Americans don't get enough of it.

Here's what magnesium does for you:
✅ Supports muscle function (helps reduce cramps + spasms)
✅ Promotes restful sleep
✅ Helps regulate blood pressure
✅ Supports nerve and heart health
✅ Eases stress and tension

Who tends to run low?
🔹 Adults over 50
🔹 People on certain blood pressure or diabetes medications
🔹 Anyone with frequent muscle cramps, poor sleep, or chronic stress

Not all magnesium is the same — glycinate, citrate, oxide all work differently. Ask your MediCenter pharmacist which form is right for what you need.

June is Men's Health Month 💪

Guys — when's the last time you actually took care of yourself?

Statistics show men are significantly less likely than women to see a doctor, fill prescriptions, or ask for health advice. And it shows up in the numbers.

This month, we're encouraging the men in our community to take one small step:

✅ Pick up that prescription you've been putting off
✅ Ask your pharmacist about a medication you have questions on
✅ Check your blood pressure next time you're in

No appointment. No hassle. Just walk up to the counter.

We're here for you. 📍

☀️ Summer is almost here — and your medications might need a little extra attention.

Some common prescriptions can be affected by heat and sun exposure. Here's what to watch for:
🌡️ Store medications at room temperature — never in a hot car
🕶️ Some medications increase sun sensitivity (certain antibiotics, diuretics, and others)
💧 Stay hydrated, especially if you're on blood pressure or diabetes medications
🧴 Don't forget sunscreen if you take photosensitizing drugs

Not sure if your medications are affected? Ask your pharmacist — that's exactly what we're here for.
Stay safe and enjoy the season! 🌻
