Patient counselling tip: always reinforce that chlorhexidine is adjunctive to, not a replacement for, mechanical plaque control. Patients should also be aware of potential staining and taste alteration with prolonged use. Our new article covers everything you need to know for evidence-based oral hygiene advice.

🤔 Is brushing enough on its own? Not always. Conventional toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste produces minimal reversal of the dysbiotic microbiome changes seen in gingivitis. Adjunctive antiseptics like chlorhexidine 0.12% can help – and pharmacists are ideally placed to identify who needs them. 📊

Traveller's diarrhoea affects 10–40% of travellers, with the highest risk in parts of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Mexico 🌏

But the story doesn't end when the symptoms do. TD can reduce microbial diversity, promote pro-inflammatory bacteria, and even lead to persistent multidrug-resistant organisms 🦠

Pharmacists can advise on:
✅ Preventive food and water hygiene
✅ Probiotic prophylaxis (Saccharomyces boulardii showed significant risk reduction)
✅ Carrying a non-absorbable antibiotic for self-treatment

Who's most at risk when it comes to travel-related gut disruption? 🤔

Travellers with chronic conditions or immunosuppression are more likely to develop a low-diversity, pro-inflammatory gut microbiome profile after travel. Interestingly, one study found these travellers used fewer probiotics than non-travellers (13.3% vs 44.4%).

These patients deserve targeted microbiome-supportive strategies — and pharmacists are perfectly positioned to provide them 💊

🧳 Planning to travel soon? Your pre-travel gut health matters more than you think!

Research shows that travellers whose gut microbiomes stayed stable during trips were enriched beforehand in beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Faecalibacterium — key producers of short-chain fatty acids that support gut barrier integrity.

Supporting your gut before you even set off could make all the difference 🌍💪

Pharmacists — this is a great counselling opportunity!
