Avoid dangerous UV exposure by seeking shade, wearing sunglasses, a hat, sun-protective clothing, and sunscreen. Steer clear of the tanning bed! Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The two most common types, called basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, are highly curable. But melanoma, the third most common skin cancer, is much more dangerous (CDC.gov).

Consider making a visit to the dermatologist part of your annual routine! Check out this great video by the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and please join us in spreading awareness!

How to Get the Most From Fiber Supplements (via WebMD)

These guidelines can help you avoid side effects and interference with drug and nutrient absorption when you take fiber supplements:

  • Check with your doctor before starting a fiber supplement.
  • Gradually increase the amount of fiber you take each day.
  • Drink plenty of liquids — about 64 ounces daily – to avoid discomfort.
  • Spread fiber intake throughout the day.
  • Take fiber supplements separately from medication; take medications at least one hour before fiber supplements or two hours after fiber supplements.

Simple, easy to use medication packaging has been shown to improve patient compliance with their prescriptions. Those who require frequent doses, multiple medications, or titrated doses will especially benefit from compliance packaging.

“Several of our local prescribers and their staff, as well as home health caregivers, have been advocates in getting people going on compliance packaging. One doctor was so very impressed with the patient’s improved health after the first month of compliance packaging, that his staff frequently calls to ask us to set a patient up on bubble packs. People don’t like to take lots of medicines for assorted reasons, but if we can help make it easier, their health will ultimately be better for it, and they can be less stressed about the whole prospect of taking a day’s pills. Patients, caregivers, prescribers and family members are really delighted with this service,” says Sue.

Before & after compliance packaging:

   

Anyone with questions about this is encouraged to contact Ilwaco Pharmacy (360-642-3133) to get started toward better health!

We hope this will help you better understand what compounding is and provide you an opportunity to learn about some of the medications we can customize for you.  We’ve included an example of how the prescription may be written so that you can print this and show it to your doctor if you think it may be beneficial for you.  If you are having difficulty with certain dosage forms, strength, or taste, we may be able to research the problem and develop a product for you.

Look for a new compound every week on Facebook, Twitter, or on the sidebar of our website!

*Our compounding lab is located right next door to Long Beach Pharmacy in the Sandpiper mall. Questions? Stop in or give us a call at 360.642.3200 ext. 6.

**Note: A written prescription from a licensed physician or veterinarian is required for compounded medications.
