Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello If you are out walking in cold weather, wear a woolen hat. You can lose up to 40% of your body heat through your head. So, cover up! Coughing? There are two main types of coughs: productive and non- productive. onproductive. Productive means loose and phlegmy. Non-productive means a dry, hacking cough. There are cough syrups to help each type. If in doubt, ask our helpful pharmacist staff. Asthmatics using metered dose inhalers ("puffers") often use them in- correctly. In fact, a recent survey of respiratory specialists found that only half of their patients were usin,, these inhalers right. How's your technique? One helpful hint in using these asthma inhalers: hold it about an inch away from the mouth, rather than clamping your lips around it. The ex- tra distance often results in more drug reaching the lungs. Going on a winter holiday? Be sure you have an adequate supply of your regularly taken medications. It saves the hassle of trying to get these prescriptions in another city or country. HURON ApOikECARy, WiSilES you A SAIL Arid IiAppy olidriy SEASON itIr or Apothecary to 1 "Your.
