A chemist’s guide to surviving the flu season

What can you do to stay healthy when everyone around you is sick? Have a look at a couple of our suggestions to give you the best chance of avoiding the flu.

• Pay attention to hygiene. Wash your hands with soap and water often before eating and drinking. Wash your hands after coming in contact with contagious people.
• Get the flu shot. The virus mutates very rapidly, which makes getting the flu shot every year crucial to improving your defence. It’s as easy as having a quick visit to your local GP or immunisation provider.
• Take medication to reduce the symptoms and improve your immune system. Your nearest chemist can provide this.
• If you get the flu, stay home from work and give yourself a chance to recover. Drink plenty of warm liquids and try not to spread the disease around the house. Visit your doctor to discuss the best line of treatment.

 With this in mind, you’ll be well on your way to having a cough free flu season. Stock up for the season and view our listings to find a pharmacy store near you.
