Good sunglasses should block 99-100% of both UVA and UVB rays. However, even with good sunglasses, about 50% of the harmful rays come in from above the glasses. So wearing a broad -brimmed hat will prevent this. Did you know that cold sores are contagious? So don't kiss people if you have one. A virus causes cold sores and there are good antiviral medicines available on prescription from your doctor. Applying an ice cube to the cold sore will help relieve the discomfort. If you use an over- the-counter medicine to treat the cold sore, discard it after your cold sore has healed, so you won't contaminate a future site. Herbal remedies often act just like drugs. We encourage all our customers to carry a list with them at all times of all medications they take regularly. That includes prescribed drugs, over-the-counter drugs and herbal remedies. When you are in hospital and have some medication changes while there, be sure to ask questions about the medications you had before you went into hospital. Often, changes are made and a drug with a different name may be prescribed which could be similar to one you took at home. To avoid doubling up on the same kind of drug, ask questions of your doctor and pharmacist. Our job as your pharmacist is to look after your medcation needs. Let us be part of your health care team.
