Here are a few tips to clean up your medicine cabinet and other places where medication and vitamins are stored: Gather all medications in one place. Check the expiration date of each item. Set aside any medications that you no longer take or that have expired. Set aside any medication that is not in its original container or whose appearance, consistency, or odour has changed. Take all discarded medications and vitamins to your pharmacist for safe and ecological disposal. Do not throw them into the waste basket, sink, or toilet. The Medicine Shoppe can help with the cleanup process and disposal.

Check Your Child’s Posture
Kids spend about 33 hours on screens each week, found a study that surveyed more than 1,400 parents. Now look at their posture when they are looking at their devices. They often assume this gargoyle like pose for hours. Though it may seem like they are just wasting time, they are also damaging their spine. The Canadian Society of Pediatrics state infants aged 0-2 years should not have any exposure to technology, 3-5 years be restricted to one hour per day, and 6-18 years restricted to two hours per day. See a chiropractor for a gentle adjustment to get your child’s spine back in properly alignment.
Mother’s Day After Loss
Mother’s Day can bring up difficult emotions, especially if your mom has passed away. It may remind you of a cherished relationship that you can no longer celebrate in the same way. However, amidst the sadness, Mother’s Day can also offer an opportunity to look back on fond memories. As much as you may be hurting, try not to hide out and ignore the holiday. Instead, find a way to honor her memory, whether it’s continuing a tradition you shared, writing a letter to her, or gathering with others who grieve her loss. If you’re struggling with grief, reaching out to a professional can provide valuable support and guidance.

Compounding pharmacists work closely with healthcare providers to develop medications not commercially available or to alter existing formulations. This personalized approach enhances treatment efficacy, promotes patient adherence, and addresses therapeutic gaps. Overall, they offer a vital service in healthcare, ensuring tailored and effective treatments for diverse patient populations.
