When was the last time you cleaned out your medicine cabinet?

It's a good idea to check your medications every 6 months to ensure they're still safe to use. Just like food, medicines expire and need to be regularly reviewed to protect your family's health.

Why not do a quick spring clean of your medicine cabinet and check those expiry dates? If you find any expired medications, bring them to the pharmacy - we'll dispose of them safely for you. Not sure about something? Pop in for a chat, we'll be happy to help

Eczema can be challenging, but the right steps can make a big difference. Here are four things you can do to manage your symptoms effectively:

1️⃣ See a doctor or dermatologist for a diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.
2️⃣ Use fragrance-free, therapeutic moisturisers several times a day to keep skin hydrated.
3️⃣ Switch to soap-free washes, mild detergents, and avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
4️⃣ Identify and avoid triggers like certain foods, stress, and hot showers. Keeping a symptom diary can help.
