Ensuring your overall health status remains in check can be a complex process. Embracing a balanced diet, active lifestyle and quitting smoke are essential actions anyone can take to improve their overall wellbeing.
Looking after your nutritional needs with an individualised regiment of supplements and minerals can help.
There are also a range of pharmacy medicines such as cough syrups, anti-inflammatory medications and smoking cessations products designed to help manage short-term ailments.
For certain conditions such as chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma, prescription only medications may be required.
Which general health medicines and supplements a person takes should be tailored to each person’s needs, however there are some vitamins and mineral deficiencies which are very prevalent, such as:
Iron Deficiency (Anaemia): Iron deficiency can effect anyone, however it’s more likely to effect women. A recent WHO study estimated 30% of all women between the ages of 15-49 are Anaemic. This can have serious consequences for general health.
Vitamin D Deficiency: Vitamin D is especially common in the UK. Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of healthy bones and muscles.
A patient may also need pharmacy medications or prescription only medications to help manage chronic health problems such as diabetes, asthma and obesity or acute conditions such as the common cold.
Common deficiencies can actually be self-diagnosed and self-treated using general wellness vitamins and supplements.
Stop smoking treatments and other pharmacy medications such as Viagra Connect and contraceptive pills can be bought online, at a local pharmacy or provided by your NHS GP.
Certain prescription only treatments such as finasteride for hair loss or acid reflux medicines can also be purchased online too.
Ultimately you should take an all encompassing approach to managing your health. Using your own judgement and working in conjunction with doctors and other professionals where appropriate.
