Over 35 walkers braved the cold and wet weather
Sunday afternoon to participate in the VON
Palliative Care Hike for Hospice at the
MacNaughton Trail. Over $3,000 was raised for
Huron County VON programs, with VON bereave-
ment councillor Kim Winbow saying organizers
were "overwhelmed and very, very pleased" with the
turnout, especially considering the bad weather.
While this was the first
time the event was held
in Exeter, it will become
an annual event, as it is
across the country.Top

FCapsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Sudden infant death syndrome ISIDSI is the
sudden unexplained death of an infant under the
age of one year. Having your new baby sleep on
his back can reduce the risk of SIDS. Other risk
factors include maternal use of alcohol during
pregnancy, keeping the child too warm during sleep and bedding
that is too soft.
There is a kidney enzyme that can cause blood vessels to narrow
causing blood pressure to rise. To combat this, there are drugs that
actually inhibit that enzyme to keep blood pressure down. This
enzyme has to land on a certain "receptor site" to raise blood
pressure. Another drug has been designed to block that enzyme
from sitting on that action site hence keeping blood pressure down.
It's quite interesting knowing how a drug actually works in our
bodies.
Can I take an antidepressant when I am breastfeeding? It's a
common question in our pharmacy. Most medications the mother
takes can appear in the breast milk and the concentrations the baby
receives depend on many variables. Yes, there are antidepressants
that are safe while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or
pharmacist.
Medications can be both helpful and harmful and when it comes to
pregnancy and breastfeeding. Knowledge of a drug's effect in these
two special life situations is very important. Pharmacists have up-to-
date information about the safety of drugs used during pregnancy
and lactation. Use their knowledge to increase yours.
