September is both Pharmacy Month and Heart Awareness Month—and there is no better time to take a
closer look at the health of your heart.
High blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors may not always produce obvious warning signs. A
simple health conversation and routine checks can help you better understand your risk.
Your independent community pharmacist is nearby to help you check, understand and take the next step.
This September, don’t guess. Ask your pharmacist

Traditional wisdom. Modern healthcare. Working together. 🌿💚

Many South Africans use traditional or complementary medicines alongside prescription and over-the-counter medicines.

That’s why an open conversation with your pharmacist matters.

Your pharmacist needs to know about everything you’re taking, including traditional remedies, herbal preparations, supplements and conventional medicines, so they can help identify possible medicine interactions and support safer, more informed healthcare choices.

There’s no judgement. Just an important conversation about your health.

This African Traditional Medicine Week, remember:
TELL. CHECK. PROTECT.
Tell your pharmacist what you’re taking.
Check for possible interactions.
Protect your health through informed choices.

Every woman. Every stage. Every conversation. 💚

A woman’s health needs change throughout her life — from the teenage years and young adulthood, through motherhood and midlife, to healthy ageing.

And with every new stage can come new questions.

Questions about vaccinations, menstrual health and contraception. About pregnancy, breastfeeding and medicines. About menopause, heart and bone health. And later, about managing chronic medicines and staying healthy and independent.

You don’t have to navigate those questions alone.

Your independent community pharmacist is an accessible healthcare professional who can offer trusted advice, support you in making informed health decisions and guide you towards additional care when needed.

Whatever stage of life you’re in, keep asking questions. Keep having the conversations that matter.

Because your health matters at every age.

Prevent today. Protect tomorrow. 💚

HPV vaccination is an important tool in the prevention of cervical cancer, and making informed decisions starts with having access to trusted health information.

If you have questions about HPV, vaccination, eligibility or where to access the vaccine, speak to your community pharmacist. They can help you understand your options and guide you towards appropriate care.

Protecting our health — and the health of future generations — starts with conversations today.

Be informed. Ask questions. Talk to your pharmacist about HPV vaccination.

Breastfeeding is one of the best starts a baby can have, but it doesn't always come easily.

Community pharmacists can provide advice on breastfeeding, maternal nutrition, common breastfeeding concerns and medicines that are safe to use while breastfeeding.

No question is too small.

Support starts with a conversation.

Speak to your community pharmacist.

MID-YEAR REFRESH | REFOCUS

It's okay to ask for help.

Life doesn't always go according to plan, and the middle of the year can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained or simply not ourselves.
Whether you're experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout or low mood, remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it's a positive step towards taking care of your health.

You don't have to face life's challenges alone.
Your independent community pharmacist is one of the most accessible healthcare professionals in your community. They can offer support, provide advice on your medicines, help you manage your overall wellbeing, and guide you to additional care when needed.

This week, take a moment to refocus on what matters most: your health, your wellbeing and knowing that support is always within reach.

Pause. Reset. Refocus.

💚 Your health matters. Your pharmacist is here to help.
