Spring Health Newsletter

George's Pharmacy Spring Tips Newsletter This spring season and always we strive to help you live a healthier, happier life and hope our Heath & Wellness Newsletter helps support you on your wellness journey. Tips to Manage Springtime Allergies Limit early-morning outdoor activities, when pollen is usually emitted. Stay indoors as much as possible when humidity and pollen counts are high. Enlist someone else to mow the lawn, since that stirs up pollen and mold. Close windows at night to help keep pollen out. Take medications as prescribed by your doctor or discuss over-the-counter alternatives with your pharmacist. Some folks plan vacations to pollen-free places during spring. To check daily pollen and mold counts, go to the National Allergy Bureau at www.aaaai.org. George's App With the official George's Pharmacy app, you can order your refill prescriptions from your iPhone or Android device. Simply enter your prescription number, first and last name, and phone number - then click the refill button. And to save your personal information for easier use each time you want to refill a prescription, you can create a user profile using a secure login. There is no charge to download the app.    Traveling with Prescriptions When you are traveling with prescription medications, make sure someone back home has an extra copy of your prescriptions. Also, carry a list of your medications with you, including names and dosages. Keep all medications in their original containers. If you have any injectable medications, carry a letter, on your doctor's letterhead, with the physician's prescription for it. If you are flying, pack your medications in your carryon bag for easy access and so they aren't lost or delayed. If traveling internationally, be sure to check with the American Embassy or Consulate to ensure your medications are allowed in the host country.
