Just because the holidays are around the corner, it doesn’t mean you’re immune to getting sick or dealing with unexpected mishaps. Whether it's a headache from too much Christmas cheer or needing to refill your prescription medications, your community pharmacy is here to help—just be mindful of the possible change in trading hours.
Plan ahead for peace of mind
During the festive season, many community pharmacies have different trading hours, with some closing earlier on certain days or being shut on public holidays. Make sure you’re aware of these changes so you can avoid last-minute panic if you need essential items. A quick visit now can save you stress later!
Stock up on essentials
To ensure a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year, make sure you’re ready for anything. Stock up on painkillers, antacids, electrolyte products and other over-the-counter essentials, as well as your prescription medications. Your pharmacist can work with you to make sure you’re fully prepared for whatever Santa brings.
Don’t let illness or injury spoil the fun
Nobody wants illness or injury to ruin their holidays. By planning ahead, you can make sure you're covered if you or a loved one comes down with a cold, gets a stomach bug or simply needs a little recovery time from all the celebrations.
So, before the holiday rush begins, check your community pharmacy’s trading hours and stock up on the essentials. A little preparation can go a long way towards keeping your festive season merry and bright!
