Christmas and New Year are busy times of year. The festive season sees a dramatic increase in the number accidents and illnesses, with more people rushing around and families pooling their germs! However, it is also a time when your GP and local chemist are likely to be closed. Here are some top tips for health essentials to stock up on before Christmas.
Medication to stock up on prior to Christmas
Chemists and doctors will be closed over the Festive period, so it is important to think ahead:
Ensure you have enough of your regular prescription medication and that relatives staying with you have all their necessary pills. The Christmas period is longer than people anticipate and you need to take prescribed medication on a regular basis. If you are travelling and have forgotten your medication, don’t hope for the best. Walk in centres can often help with such issues. Never take anyone else’s prescribed medication.
