Many strokes can be prevented, and the everyday choices we make really do add up. (But no, we're not asking you to run a marathon or give up the Sunday braai! ๐Ÿ˜‰)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Check out these four habits that help to lower your risk: get moving on most days, eat less salt and more fresh food, stop smoking and limit alcohol, and take your medication as prescribed.

If you're on chronic medication for blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol, taking it exactly as prescribed is one of the most important things you can do. Skipping doses or running out between repeats can put you at risk without you even realising it.

Your pharmacist can help you stay on top of your repeats and answer any questions about your medication. You don't have to change everything at once โ€“ start with one small habit this week. ๐Ÿงก

When someone you love is facing breast cancer, it can be hard to know what to say or do.

Often, the most helpful support is practical. Offer a lift to an appointment, cook a meal, help with the school run, collect their medication, or simply sit and listen. Being specific helps too: 'I'm bringing supper on Thursday' is so much easier to accept than 'Let me know if you need anything'.

And if you are the one going through treatment, please remember that it's okay to say yes when help is offered.

To everyone walking this road, and everyone walking beside them: your neighbourhood pharmacy is here for you โ€“ whether you need advice, your medication or just a friendly face. ๐Ÿซถ

You know your ID number, your PIN and probably the neighbour's Wi-Fi password... but do you know your blood pressure?

โš ๏ธ High blood pressure is one of the leading risk factors for stroke, and it often has no symptoms at all. Many people feel perfectly healthy and have no idea that their blood pressure is too high. That's why it's so important to know your numbers. The only way to find out is to have your blood pressure measured โ€“ and it only takes a few minutes.

As we count down to World Stroke Day on 29 October, we're encouraging everyone in the neighbourhood to get checked. Visit your nearest The Local Choice Pharmacy and ask about a quick blood pressure check, and chat to your pharmacist about what your numbers mean and what to do next. ๐Ÿซถ

How much do you really know about breast cancer? ๐Ÿค”๐ŸŽ—๏ธ Between the family WhatsApp group and 'something I read somewhere', there are plenty of myths doing the rounds, and some of them stop people from getting checked when they should.

Swipe through to separate the myths from the facts. Did you know that men can get breast cancer too? Or that most people who are diagnosed have no family history of the disease? And while most breast lumps are not cancer, every lump should still be checked by a healthcare professional.

Please share this with the people you care about โ€“ you never know who needs to see it today. If you notice any change in your breasts, don't wait. Speak to your doctor or clinic. ๐Ÿงก

16/10/2026

Quick question: when last did you do a breast self-check? ๐Ÿค” (No judgement โ€“ we know how long the to-do list is.) It takes about five minutes, once a month, and it's one of the simplest ways to get to know your body.

Swipe through for the three steps: look in the mirror for any changes in shape, size or skin, feel the whole breast using the flat pads of your fingers, and remember to check your armpits and up to your collarbone too. Choose a regular time each month โ€“ a few days after your period ends is ideal, or the same date every month if you no longer have periods โ€“ so that you can learn what's normal for you. ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Remember, a self-check doesn't replace a clinical breast exam or a mammogram. If you notice anything new or unusual, speak to your doctor or clinic sister. Save this post so you have it handy next month!

๐Ÿ’Š DO I NEED A DOCTORโ€™S PRESCRIPTION FOR THE CONTRACEPTIVE PILL? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿงก

Did you know that not all birth control pills need a doctorโ€™s prescription?

๐Ÿ’š Some pills need a doctorโ€™s prescription.

๐Ÿงก Some mini-pills may be given by a pharmacist after a consultation to check if they are right for you.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ Not sure which pill is best for you? Your pharmacist can help you understand your options.

โค๏ธ Remember:
โœ… Take your pill at the same time every day.
โœ… The pill does not protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
โœ… Always ask your pharmacist if you have questions.

๐Ÿ“ Visit The Local Choice Pharmacy Walker Drive for friendly advice and professional care.

It's Global Handwashing Day! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿงผ Yes, there really is a day for everything โ€“ but this one has earned its spot on the calendar.

Washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is still one of the simplest ways to stop germs from spreading through your home, school and workplace. It sounds small, but it really does make a difference โ€“ especially with little ones in the house.

A quick reminder of when it matters most: before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom, when you get home, and whenever someone in the family is feeling under the weather. Teach the kids to sing 'Happy Birthday' twice while they scrub and they'll get to 20 seconds every time (we can't promise it will be in tune ๐Ÿ˜‰).

๐Ÿ‘‰ Running low on hand wash or sanitiser? Pop in to your nearest The Local Choice Pharmacy! We're here for you. ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ’Š๐ŸŒฟ FUN FACT! DID YOU KNOW? ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Š

Did you know that aspirinโ€™s history is linked to the bark of the willow tree? ๐ŸŒณ

Ancient cultures used willow bark to help relieve pain and fever. Today, aspirin is still widely used for pain relief and, in certain cases, to help prevent blood clots when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

๐Ÿ’š At The Local Choice Pharmacy, Clinic & Doctor, we believe that knowing more about your medicines helps you make informed decisions about your health!

๐Ÿ’ก Remember: Aspirin is not suitable for everyone. Always use it as directed by your healthcare professional.

๐Ÿ’š Good medicine today, better health tomorrow!
