Heartburn

Heartburn / Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus and causes heartburn. Common symptoms include burping, a burning feeling in the stomach or lower chest area that can rise to the neck, difficulty sleeping due to heartburn, pain in the upper middle stomach area, and nausea. Our team is here to assist you with finding the best course of treatment.

Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a common condition for all ages, with nearly half of the population experiencing them by age 50. Hemorrhoids are caused by swollen and inflamed veins, leading to uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, there are medications available to provide relief from the pain and other discomforts associated with hemorrhoids. Speak and consult with pharmacists to find the right treatment for your particular case.

Cold sores

Cold sores are caused by viruses that remain dormant until triggered by stress or other external factors. These blisters can be painful and unsightly, appearing on the lips or around the nose. Taking proactive measures to reduce stress and maintain a healthy lifestyle can help to prevent cold sores from occurring. If you are experiencing cold sores, speak to a healthcare professional to discuss available treatments that can help to reduce the duration and severity of your symptoms.

Impetigo

Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that primarily affects infants and children. It is characterized by red, itchy sores that typically appear on the face. If left untreated, impetigo can spread to other parts of the body, leading to further complications. It is important to seek professional medical advice if you suspect your child may have impetigo.

Tick bites

Ticks are a potential vector for the transmission of Lyme disease, a serious and potentially debilitating condition. At Medplus Pharmacy, our professional staff can help you to reduce the risk of contracting this disease through tick bites. Our pharmacists can provide you with the necessary information and products to protect yourself and your family from the potential dangers of Lyme disease.

Sprains and strains

Sprains and strains are common physical injuries caused by an overextension of ligaments or muscles. Sprains occur when a ligament is stretched or torn, resulting in a disruption of the connection between two bones. Strains, on the other hand, are caused by a pulling or tearing of muscle fibers, such as those in the leg. Professional treatment is recommended for both sprains and strains. With proper treatment, these injuries can be managed effectively and the risk of re-injury is minimized.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among women. Bacteria can enter the bladder and urethra, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining of these organs. Symptoms of a UTI can include a burning sensation when urinating, pain in the lower abdomen, and an urgent need to urinate more often than usual. If you suspect you may have a UTI, it is important to seek medical advice. We can help you prevent the infection from progressing and causing more severe complications.
