  • Firework Safety

    July 2, 2010

    By D&H Drugstore Happy Independence Day weekend! Before you enjoy the traditional festivities, below is some information about fireworks and related injuries. Follow these guidelines to help you have a safe 4th of July.

    According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 8,800 people were treated for fireworks-related injury in 2009. More than two-thirds of those injuries occurred between June 19th and July 19th. Children under the age of 15 accounted for 39 percent of the total injuries. Firecrackers and sparklers are among the more dangerous types of fireworks. In 2009, sparklers were responsible for 1,000 of the total fireworks related injuries. Below are the body parts that are injured most frequently:

    1. Hands

    2. Eyes

    3. Head

    4. Face

    5. Ear

    Injuries can occur for a number of reasons:

    Sale of Illegal Fireworks

    While there are federal regulations on what types of fireworks should be available to the public, many distributors sell illegal fireworks deemed unsafe by the government.

    Standing Too Close

    Many people fail to maintain a safe distance from fireworks displays, especially those who light them off manually. For example, an injury may occur when someone leans over an ignited firework to inspect it more closely.

    Experimentation

    It is common for people to make their own fireworks by dismantling and reassembling displays purchased from vendors. The unpredictable nature of homemade fireworks can lead to dangerous consequences.

    The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to leave it up to the professionals, but for those of you who enjoy buying your own, here are some tips from Kids Health:

    • Only buy legal fireworks. Restricted fireworks are illegal because they are not safe, and could cause serious harm to those who use them.

    • Never make your own fireworks.

    • Only use fireworks outside, and be sure to have a hose or bucket of water close by to douse and rogue flames.

    • Be sure to wear eye protection while igniting fireworks.

    • Never hold fireworks while igniting them.

    • Light one firework at a time and never try to light one that has already gone out.

    • When disposing of fireworks, soak them in water before you throw them in the trash.

    D&H drugstore will be open from 9 to 5 on the 4th for your convenience. Have a safe and fun holiday weekend!

  • Summer Hydration

    June 30, 2010

    By D&H Drugstore The temperature is constantly on the rise during the summer, so it’s even more important than usual to stay hydrated. If you plan on spending time outside, experts at Mayo Clinic suggest increasing the amount of liquids you normally drink.

    According to FamilyDoctor.com, every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to function correctly. Even though each person is different, most people should be drinking 6 to 8 8-ounce glasses of water each day.

    Drinking water, iced green and black tea or a fruit spritzer (half mineral water, half fruit juice) are all great options that will help lower your body temperature and replace what you lose through sweat. The Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness also suggests eating more fruits and vegetables since they are made up of mostly water to help meet your hydration needs.

    Another way to reduce your risk of dehydration is to avoid alcohol and caffeine if you are going to be out in the heat. Since July 4th is coming up this weekend, try limiting yourself to one or two alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, then switching to water or juice for the remainder of the festivities.

    If you have any questions about how to stay hydrated or would like to see a specific topic covered in an upcoming post, stop by one of our two locations or give us a call at 573-777-7333 (W. Broadway) or 573-777-7373 (Paris Road).

  • Sun Safety

    June 25th, 2010

    By D&H Drugstore The sun provides us with many benefits. A sunny day can bring a smile to nearly anyone’s face, and can also supply us with a healthy dose of vitamin D. While the sun is beautiful, it is also powerful and must be enjoyed in moderation. Overexposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays is the leading cause of skin cancer, and can also cause a number of skin problems, such as wrinkles and age spots. It isn’t hard to have fun in the sun while staying safe. Follow these quick and easy tips from WebMD to avoid sun damage.

    Put on sunscreen before exposing yourself to the sun. Anything with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater will help deter the sun’s potent rays. Be sure to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and then reapply every 2-3 hours.

    If you do not have time to apply sunscreen, try to use other products that offer UV protection. Many cosmetics also offer UV protection. Protect your eyes by wearing contact lenses with UV protection or sunglasses.

    The sun is most powerful during the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., so try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. If you are going to be outside, wear the proper attire. Wide-brimmed hats, long sleeve shirts and pants will help protect your skin during these peak UV hours.

    Performing regular skin self-exams can lead to early detection of possible skin cancer. This will help you become familiar with existing growths, and also keep tabs on any growth changes. Use the ABCDE melanoma checklist, provided by The Green Beauty Guide, as a reference for self-examination.

    Asymmetrical skin lesion.

    Border of the lesion is irregular.

    Color: melanomas usually have multiple colors.

    Diameter: moles greater than 5 mm are more likely to be melanomas than smaller moles.

    Evolution: The change of a mole or lesion may be a hint that the lesion is becoming malignant –or– Elevation: The mole is raised or elevated above the skin.)

    According to WebMD, “eighty percent of a person’s lifetime sun exposure is acquired before age 18”. It is important to develop sun safety habits early, so act as a role model for those younger than you and educate them about sun safety.

  • Tips for Reducing Sodium Intake

    June 22nd, 2010

    By D&H Drugstore It’s important to monitor the amount of sodium in our diets for a couple reasons. First, reducing our sodium intake may lower high blood pressure. Second, a low-sodium diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease. It’s easy to follow low-sodium eating habits. Use these tricks to help:

    1. Balance high-sodium meals with high-potassium foods, like fruits and vegetables, according to WebMD. High amounts of sodium can lead to hypertension and high blood pressure, but eating potassium rich foods can help counteract those negative effects.

    2. When grocery shopping, read nutrition labels and look for items with low-sodium. By simply taking an extra minute or two to look at packaging and nutrition information, you can instantly decrease your sodium intake.

    3. Mayo Clinic suggests using fresh produce, poultry, fish and lean meat instead of canned or processed options. Although pre-processed foods contain sodium for preservation and enhanced taste, these options can greatly increase your daily sodium intake.

    4. Prepare foods with half the recommended amount of salt in the recipe. Instead of using the full amount of salt in your recipes, try adding herbs and other spices to enhance the flavor of your meals.

  • Now Stocking Florajen4Kids

    March 7th, 2010

    By Triston Brownfield R.Ph. With great success and efficacy with Florajen and Florajen 3 in adults we are now stocking Florajen4Kids. Florajen4Kids helps maintain the immune system and a healthy balance of intestinal flora in children and infants. Bifidobacteria play an extraordinary and essential role in children’s digestive and immune health. That’s why Florajen’s founding bacteriologist has developed a new probiotic formula especially for infants and children.

    If infants are unable to acquire natural balances of microbial flora at birth or during breastfeeding, or if antibiotics disrupt natural balances, supplementation of good flora may help establish and maintain a healthy gut repertoire. Research shows that optimal balance assists in immune function, diarrhea and colic, helps deter infant eczema and other allergic reactions, and may even contribute to reduction in school age illnesses and adult obesity. Gluten-free, Vegetarian, Dairy-free.

    Primary Uses:

    Antibiotic-associated diarrhea

    Colic

    Eczema and Allergies

  • Tylenol Expands Recall of Arthritis Caplets

    December 29th, 2009

    By Triston Brownfield R.Ph. Johnson & Johnson is expanding a voluntary recall of Tylenol Arthritis Caplets due to consumer reports of a moldy smell that can cause nausea and stomach pain. According to a statement on the Food and Drug Administration Web site, the New Brunswick, N.J., company is now recalling all product lots of the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap. Johnson & Johnson had recalled five lots of the product last month.

    The health care company says the odor results from trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. That chemical is believed to result from the breakdown of another chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.

    To date, the side effects, which also include vomiting and diarrhea, have been "temporary and non-serious," although the health effects of the compound have not been studied. The recall only affects the specific lots cited. All other Tylenol Arthritis pain products remain available.

    The company will reintroduce Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplets 100 count by January after moving production to a new facility. Source Fox News

  • H1N1 Flu

    October 5th, 2009

    By Katie Johanning- Pharmacy Intern at D&H (St. Louis College of Pharmacy) It seems we can’t turn on the news without hearing something about the “swine flu.” While a vaccine is not yet available, there are things you can do to protect yourself from getting this strain of flu and other strains of cold and flu bugs. These tips include covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough, throwing away tissues after use and then washing your hands, avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth when possible, trying to avoid contact with sick people, and washing your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based cleaners often. If you get flu like symptoms, stay at home for at least 24 hours AFTER your fever is gone, unless you need medical care, to prevent spread to others.

  • Shingles FAQ

    July 15,2009

    By Sophie Backes, Pharmacy Intern St. Louis College of Pharmacy Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. You are still at risk even if you had chicken pox as a child. As you get older, your immune system becomes weaker increasing your risk of developing shingles. The first signs of the shingles virus usually include itching, tingling, or burning. These symptoms may be localized to a certain area or side of the body. After a few days, a blistering rash will appear. This rash can be painful and last up to 30 days. This is contagious until all of the blisters are crusted over. A potential complication of shingles is pain that lasts months to years. This is known as PHN (postherpetic neuralgia). Other complications include scarring, skin infections, muscle weakness, and a decrease or loss of vision or hearing. In order to avoid these complications and shingles in general, there is a vaccine available for patients >60 years old. The CDC says that it is most effective in patients between the ages of 60-69. The shingles vaccine known as Zostavax, can be administered at the Broadway store with a prescription from your doctor. If you have any questions about shingles or the about vaccines, call or drop by either of our Columbia locations. For more information click HERE .

  • Swimmer's Ear

    July 9, 2009

    By Sophie Backes, Pharmacy Intern St. Louis College of Pharmacy Swimmer's ear is a common problem during the summer months. It is important to know what swimmer’s ear is, how to treat it and what you can do to prevent it. The difference between a middle ear infection and swimmer’s ear is that with a middle ear infection, you can usually touch the ear and it is not painful. However, they are both infections in the ear. Typically with swimmer’s ear, the ear and the surrounding area is red, inflamed, and very sensitive to movement or touch. If you get swimmer’s ear it is important to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic ear drop (and possible something for the pain). Swimmer’s ear can be prevented in many ways. The best thing to do is to make sure that your ears are dry after swimming. If it is difficult to remove the water, a product like Swim-ear® or Auro-dry®, can be used to help dry up the water. It is important to talk to either a pharmacist or your physician before using one of these products. If you have any other questions about swimmers ear or any of our products, call or drop by either of our Columbia locations.

  • Insect Repellents DEET/Picaridin

    July 6, 2009

    By Sophie Backes, Pharmacy Intern St. Louis College of Pharmacy Most of the bug sprays on the market today contain either DEET or Picaridin. These products work by blocking the ability of the insects to locate you. The concentration of DEET or Picaridin in each of these products varies and can tell you how long it will provide protection (you may need to reapply!). The chart below will explain the concentration that correlates to the length of protection. These products are good for five or more years if stored in a cool, dry place. Picaridin has been proven to be an effective alternative to DEET, which is safe for the whole family. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that DEET based products with a concentration of <30% can be used on children as young as 2 months. If you have any other questions about bug spray or any of our products, call or drop by either of our Columbia locations.

    DEET/Picaridin Concentration (Hours of Protection)

    5-10% (2-4 hours)

    15% (6 hours)

    25-30% (8 hours)

    100% (10+ hours)

  • The Facts on UVA and UVB

    June 18, 2009

    By Jerid Hill Pharmacy Student UMKC School of Pharmacy UVA and UVB are the two types of Ultraviolet rays from the sun. UVA rays are linked to long-term skin damage, such as certain skin cancers and aging, and they penetrate deep into skin layers. UVA rays are 20 times more abundant than UVB and are present every day of the year, no matter what the weather or season. UVB rays cause sunburns and are more intense in the summertime and at mid-day. Unlike UVA, UVB rays vary with the season and the weather, and are related to greater than ninety percent of non-melanoma skin cancers. Sun protection factor (SPF) refers to the protection against these UVB rays and corresponds to how long you can be in the sun without developing a sunburn. Yet, recent research has shown the damaging effects of UVA, and now many providers and dermatologists suggest a “broad-spectrum” sunscreen which can protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays.

  • Sun Safe Tips

    June 18, 2009

    By Jerid Hill Pharmacy Student UMKC School of Pharmacy This Sunday, June 21st is not only Father’s day, but it also marks the official beginning of summer, which means the official beginning of sunburns. Sunburns are more than just painful, they can lead to skin aging as well as cancer. Tips for healthy summer skin include applying a sunscreen (with UVA &UVB protection) at least 30 minutes before exposure, reapplying sunscreens every 3-4 hours (1-2 hours if profusely sweating or swimming), and wearing sun protective clothing and sunglasses (with UVA/UVB block). For more information on sunscreens, sunburns or any of our products call or drop by either of our Columbia locations.

  • Know the Difference Between Cold & Flu Symptoms

    Febuary 3, 2009

    By Triston Brownfield R.Ph. Every year there is confusion when it comes to identifying symptoms as Cold or Flu. We have found the following comparison useful. Cold Versus Flu Symptoms

    We are not endorsing Tamiflu in fact most flu strains tested this year have been resistant to Tamiflu, however, we did find their information very helpful.

    It is important to note that this information is not a substitute for professional, on-site medical diagnosis.
