Norovirus can spread quickly – know what to do if it strikes 🤢🦠
Norovirus, sometimes called the winter vomiting bug, is a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea. It can be unpleasant, but most people start to feel better within a few days.

If you have norovirus:
💧 Drink plenty of fluids to help prevent dehydration
🛌 Get plenty of rest
🍽️ Eat when you feel able
🧼 Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water – alcohol hand gels do not kill norovirus effectively
🏠 Stay off work or school until you’ve had no vomiting or diarrhoea for at least 48 hours
🍳 Avoid preparing food for other people during this time

Be particularly alert for signs of dehydration, such as dark urine, peeing less often, dizziness, a dry mouth or unusual tiredness.

💊 Your pharmacy team can advise on oral rehydration products and other appropriate ways to manage your symptoms.

👉 Speak to our pharmacy team if you need advice about managing sickness and diarrhoea or preventing dehydration.

Cold or flu symptoms getting you down? 🤧💊
Colds and flu can leave you feeling tired and uncomfortable, particularly during the autumn and winter months. Although they’re both respiratory illnesses, flu symptoms tend to come on more quickly and can make you feel much more unwell.

Common symptoms can include:
🤧 A blocked or runny nose
😷 Cough or sore throat
🤕 Headaches and body aches
🌡️ A high temperature
🥶 Feeling hot, cold or shivery
😴 Tiredness and weakness

For many people, symptoms can be managed at home with rest, plenty of fluids and appropriate over-the-counter treatments.

Your pharmacy team can advise you on suitable options to help relieve symptoms, including pain relief, cough and sore throat remedies, and treatments for blocked noses.

Remember, antibiotics don't work against colds or flu because these illnesses are caused by viruses.

Using your inhaler correctly can make a big difference to how well your medicine works 💨

Different inhalers need to be used in different ways, and it’s not always easy to know whether your technique is right. If you’re unsure, ask your pharmacy team for help.

Even if you’ve been using an inhaler for years, it’s worth having your technique checked from time to time.

👉 Bring your inhaler with you and ask our pharmacy team for help – a small adjustment to your technique could make a big difference.
